1 | Are there different heavenly rewards? | 2 Tim 1:9 | puddy | 119186 | ||
Big Al, I am a new student of the Bible, but maybe I can help somewhat. I understand that there are blessings (rewards) for us that have been in "escrow" since the beginning of time. When we become believers (born again) we access these rewards in time (now) and in the future (eternity). We do this by 1st citing our sins privately to God the Father (daily) reading, metabolizing the Bible Doctrines, and growing in spiritual grace. When we do this, we are in a position of nearness to Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit and our "good" deeds or works at that time only, count for rewards...little crowns, I like to say...our Judgement to face will be for our works...not our sins..these were judged at the cross. When we believed in Christ, we were accepted as God's children, we have irrevocable gifts..one is eternal salvation. NOTHING can take that away...God promised that. We then receive 1/2 of his divine justice and 1/2 have of his divine righteousness. We are with Christ Jesus and thus "worthy" of God's love. | ||||||
