NASB | 2 Timothy 1:9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 1:9 for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life--a life set apart--a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit--we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago], |
Bible Question:
Can someone help me with scriptural support or denial of levels of reward in heaven. Based on the judgement we will all face, and our salvation through Christ Jesus, how do we understand being judged? Are there different rewards for different people based on their works on earth? Thank you very much, Big Al |
Bible Answer: 1 Tim 5:17 The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. Apparently, elders will get some kind of special treatment according to this scripture. I can't think of any other special arrangements. God bless. --Rowdy |
