Did you know that God will give out rewards in Heaven? We often think of a reward as money given for finding something lost, but it’s more than that. The dictionary also says it’s a consequence for a behavior or a return on investment. I believe these are more in line with what God has for us. In the very beginning God created the Law of Sowing and Reaping. What we sow on earth, we will reap in eternity. God offers rewards for many things in the Bible. Will the things you’re doing today bring you a reward in Heaven? If there are behaviors and actions that are important enough to God that He will reward them, they should be important to us enough that we strive for them.
Here are some Bible verses on the rewards God gives.
1. There is no difference between the one who plants and the one who waters; God will reward each one according to the work each has done.
1 Corinthians 3:8 GNT
2. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
Hebrews 10:35 NLT
3. No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 GNT
4. He who receives and welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous (honorable) man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
Matthew 10:41 AMP
5. But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.
Jeremiah 17:10 NLT
