Living For a Greater Reward

Living For a Greater Reward
II Corinthians 5:6-10, John 3:16-18 |  Pastor Terry Wilcox

Focus today is not on salvation. It’s on rewards.

Two Factors Determine Our Destiny

1. Our belief.
   Hebrews 11:1-3, 6
2. Our behavior.
   “The kingdom of God will not be the same for all believers. Let me put it another way. Some believers will have rewards for their earthly faithfulness; others will not. Some will reign with Christ; others will not. (see II Timothy 2:12). Some will be rich in the kingdom of God; others will be poor (see Luke 12:21, 33). Some will be given true riches; others will not (see Luke 16:11). Some will be given heavenly treasures of their own; others will not (see Luke 16:12).  -Charles Stanley

   Matthew 16:24-27
