Reward
According
Matthew
16:27
For
the
Son
of
man
shall
come
in
the
glory
of
his
Father
with
his
angels;
and
then
he
shall
reward
every
man
according
to
his
works.
Revelation
22:12
And,
behold,
I
come
quickly;
and
my
reward
is
with
me,
to
give
every
man
according
as
his
work
shall
be.
1Corinthians
3:8
Now
he
that
planteth
and
he
that
watereth
are
one:
and
every
man
shall
receive
his
own
reward
according
to
his
own
labour.
2Corinthians
5:10
For
we
must
all
appear
before
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ;
that
every
one
may
receive
the
things
done
in
his
body,
according
to
that
he
hath
done,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad.
There
are
21
New
Testament
Bible
references
where
we
find
variations
of
the
phrase:
according
to
works
in
addition
to
these
two
references
which
use
the
words
labour
and
done
.
In
addition
to
these
references,
there
are
many
similar
Old
Testament
references.
With
this
many
Bible
references,
it
should
be
understood
that
this
is
an
important
Bible
doctrine.
In
the
late
1800s
the
concepts
of
Communism
crept
into
church
doctrine
and
replaced
this
true
Bible
doctrine.
One
example
of
Communistic
thinking
is
the
doctrine
that
'we
will
all
get
a
mansion
regardless
of
what
we
do
for
God's
kingdom'.
Another
such
doctrinal
error
is
'no
tears
in
Heaven'.
These
doctrines
come
from
devils.
They
are
designed
to
get
God's
people
to
refuse
to
work
for
God's
kingdom
by
removing
the
rewards
and
punishments
which
God
promises
to
His
people
as
a
motivation
to
work
in
His
kingdom.
True
Bible
believers
need
to
believe
the
doctrine
which
actually
comes
from
the
Bible.
They
need
to
reject
doctrines
which
come
from
devils
and
even
fight
against
the
spread
of
doctrinal
error
from
devils.
We
cannot
be
saved
and
live
for
the
world,
the
flesh
and
doctrines
of
devils
and
expect
God
to
reward
us
eternally.
That
thinking
comes
from
devils
and
is
communistic.
We
can
see
in
this
world
that
Communism
does
not
work.
Instead,
we
need
to
go
to
work
in
God's
kingdom
believing
His
promises
that
He
will
reward
us
according
to
our
works
.
- According
- This
word
comes
from
music
where
a
chord
is
defined
as:
'A
chord,
in
music,
is
any
harmonic
set
of
pitches
consisting
of
three
or
more
notes
(also
called
pitches
)
that
are
heard
as
if
sounding
simultaneously'.
- The
word
accord
is
defined
as:
'Agreeing;
harmonizing'.
Please
notice
that
our
references
tell
us
that
people
who
promote
God's
kingdom
receive
a
good
reward
while
people
who
support
the
false
church
doctrine
receive
a
curse.
- Every
reference
read
says
that
the
reward
which
we
receive
from
God
is
according
to
his
works
.
The
last
reference
tells
us
that
people
who
are
lost
and
serving
the
world,
the
flesh
or
false
religions
will
be
cursed
according
to
how
much
they
fought
against
God's
kingdom.
- God
uses
His
standard
for
judging.
God's
standard
says
that
preaching
a
false
gospel
and
teaching
doctrinal
error
are
worse
than
murder.
Murder
only
kills
the
body.
Religious
error
condemns
the
soul
and
spirit
to
an
eternity
in
the
lake
of
fire,
which
is
much
worse.
- Since
God
knows
the
eternal
consequences
of
each
action,
and
since
men
look
at
only
some
of
the
short
term
consequences,
there
are
differences
in
judgment
on
how
bad
or
how
good
a
particular
action
is.
- Reward
According
- We
are
saved
or
lost
depending
on
our
relationship
to
Jesus
Christ
.
People,
who
have
an
ongoing
personal
relationship
with
Jesus
Christ,
because
they
accepted
Him
as
their
personal
Lord,
will
go
to
Heaven.
Everyone
who
has
not
accepted
Him
as
their
personal
Lord
will
go
to
the
lake
of
fire.
Regardless
of
our
destination
when
we
leave
this
world,
we
will
be
there
for
eternity.
- Regardless
of
where
we
spend
eternity,
our
reward
will
be
according
to
our
works
while
we
are
here
in
the
flesh
and
God
uses
His
standard
for
determining
our
reward
and
God's
standard
is
different
from
man's
standard.
- There
will
be
varying
levels
of
punishment
in
the
lake
of
fire
with
the
people
who
preach
a
false
gospel
receiving
the
greatest
damnation.
Religious
people
who
think
they
are
doing
good
to
support
a
false
religion
will
probably
receive
worse
punishment
than
a
mass-murder.
- There
will
be
varying
rewards
in
Heaven
with
the
greatest
rewards
not
necessarily
going
to
people
who
have
a
full-time
position
in
the
church
but
the
level
of
reward
is
determined
by
how
much
profit
God
gets
from
your
labor.
We
see
this
from
the
parables
of
the
talents
and
of
the
pounds.
- 1Corinthians
12:31
says:
But
covet
earnestly
the
best
gifts:
and
yet
shew
I
unto
you
a
more
excellent
way.
The
best
gifts
are
defined
in
1Corinthians
12:28,
which
says:
And
God
hath
set
some
in
the
church,
first
apostles,
secondarily
prophets,
thirdly
teachers,
after
that
miracles,
then
gifts
of
healings,
helps,
governments,
diversities
of
tongues.
- We
no
longer
have
God-given
apostles.
In
this
verse,
the
word
prophets
is
used
for
preachers
but
also
pay
attention
to
the
gift
of
governments
.
- That
includes
church
administrators
like
Marilou
and
Jabez
workers.
- Now
pay
attention
to
where
the
gift
of
helps
is
in
this
list.
That
includes
your
kitchen
workers
or
church
meetings
like
the
youth
camp.
That
includes
the
people
who
take
care
of
the
physical
facilities
and
other
background
support
that
most
people
don't
pay
attention
to.
- Everyone
knows
that
some
jobs
pay
more
than
other
jobs.
For
example,
a
school
teacher
earns
more
than
a
peddle-tricycle
driver
makes.
However,
sometimes
someone
in
a
lower-paying
job
makes
more
than
someone
in
a
higher-paying
job
because
they
work
longer
and
harder.
Therefore,
regardless
of
where
God
put
you,
do
all
that
you
can
for
the
kingdom
of
God
and
trust
God
to
reward
your
effort
with
what
is
right.
- Salvation
is
Different
from
Reward
- God
opens
an
account
for
each
saved
person
in
Heaven
when
they
first
get
saved.
However,
the
lost
do
not
have
an
account
in
Heaven.
Imagine
someone
going
to
a
bank
where
they
do
not
have
an
account
and
leaving
money
on
the
counter.
Imagine
them
doing
it
several
times
and
then
going
to
the
bank
to
try
and
withdraw
some
of
the
money
that
they
left
there.
As
most
people
understand,
they
will
not
be
able
to
withdraw
anything,
regardless
of
how
much
money
they
left
there
and
regardless
of
how
often
they
left
money.
You
must
first
open
an
account.
Likewise,
a
lot
of
religious
people
think
they
are
making
big
deposits
with
God
when
they
do
what
they
think
are
'good
works'.
However,
until
they
get
saved
they
don't
have
an
account
and
all
of
their
efforts
are
like
someone
leaving
money
in
a
bank
where
they
do
not
have
an
account.
- Proverbs
21:2-4
says:
Every
way
of
a
man
is
right
in
his
own
eyes:
but
the
LORD
pondereth
the
hearts.
To
do
justice
and
judgment
is
more
acceptable
to
the
LORD
than
sacrifice.
An
high
look,
and
a
proud
heart,
and
the
plowing
of
the
wicked,
is
sin.
Lost
people
think
they
are
doing
'good
works'
which
God
should
recognize
and
reward.
However,
Proverbs
tells
us
that
this
is
sin
because
people
are
doing
what
is
right
in
his
own
eyes
.
God
rewards
obedience,
not
doing
what
is
right
in
our
own
eyes
.
Until
we
receive
Jesus
as
our
own
personal
Lord,
we
do
not
have
the
indwelling
Holy
Spirit
to
help
us
obey
God.
We
do
not
have
a
Heavenly
account
and
we
are
still
a
child
of
the
devil.
- There
is
more
than
one
parable
in
the
Gospels
where
there
was
a
father
with
two
sons.
Each
son
acted
differently
and
received
a
different
result
from
his
obedience
or
disobedience.
However,
regardless
of
their
level
of
obedience
or
disobedience,
both
sons
remained
sons
because
of
their
relationship
to
the
father.
Likewise,
once
someone
accepts
Jesus
as
their
personal
Lord,
He
saves
them
and
makes
them
a
child
of
God
and
they
remain
a
child
of
God
regardless
of
anything
else.
- As
in
those
parables
and
as
our
Bible
references
told
us,
each
son
remained
a
son
but
their
reward
varied
according
to
their
level
of
obedience
and
the
work
they
did.
Likewise,
the
church
members
should
know
that
God
keeps
a
record
of
what
they
are
doing
for
the
Youth
Camp
and
will
reward
them
according
to
their
works
.
However,
the
visitors
also
need
to
understand
that,
even
if
they
are
a
member
of
another
church,
if
they
work
to
get
other
youths
to
the
Youth
Camp,
God
will
reward
them.
This
is
especially
true
if
God
is
able
to
do
a
spiritual
work
in
their
life.
- If
a
visitor
is
not
saved,
they
can
get
saved
today,
become
a
child
of
God,
assure
their
place
in
Heaven,
have
God
open
an
account
for
them,
and
then
put
treasure
in
that
Heavenly
account
if
they
talk
their
friends
into
going
to
Youth
Camp
with
them.
