The Bible tells us that, in heaven, Christ Jesus will reward us, or not, for how
we lived our lives upon the earth as a child of God.1
Our deeds will be tested by the Word of God, which is likened unto fire, and
things of lasting value will be rewarded.2
Those who faithfully serve the Lord Christ Jesus, will hear the
words "Well done, good servant!" and will be rewarded for their faithful service
with even more responsibility.3
With
Christ Jesus as supreme sovereign over all, we, His Church, will also reign with
Him upon the earth at His second coming; the Church will judge the world.4
The Bible also speaks of crowns as rewards.5
