Heaven: will there be rewards there?

Heaven: will there be rewards there? by ric Gustafson


Our good works mean nothing when it comes to securing eternal life. In Ephesians 2: 8-9 the Apostle Paul  tells us that we are saved by faith in God this is God's gift to you and not anything you have done on your own. As believers we are rewarded in heaven for our faithfulness during our brief time on earth. God sees what we do here on his behalf, the suffering we endure and the desire to live according to his Word. He acknowledges our deeds in a real and meaningful way.
There is a big difference between deeds that glorify ourselves and acts that glorify God. Only acts that glorify God will be rewarded in heaven. The amount or degree of rewards will differ from person to person. This principle is told in the parable of the three servants Matthew 25: 14-20.  God keeps track of the work we do in his name and will richly reward us in his Kingdom.
Praise God.
