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
- Our belief.
Hebrews 11:1-3, 6
- 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
