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], |
Subject: Are there different heavenly rewards? |
Bible Note: I am new to the forum so please be patient with me if I don't conform to proper forum ettiquette. I am trying and ask for any guidance other forum members can provide. Like the previous responder, I have always considered Heaven and God the only reward believers would ever receive. However, I recently read a small book by Bruce Wilkinson entitled, "A Life God Rewards." This book has made me rethink my position and it might be useful information for anyone questioning heavenly rewards. Some of the verses most commonly referred to are Matt 16:27 11:21-22 and 23:14. I pray this helps. |
