![]() (Mt 6:1-4) says when we give to others to be seen by men, that will be our only reward, but if we give in secret, God knows it, and He will reward us.Īs stated above, we really don’t know exactly what rewards we will receive for our works, deeds, and faithfulness. (Mt 19:21) Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast (all of your possessions), and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven… (Also see: Mk 10:21, Lk 12:33, Lk 18:22) (42) And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall no wise lose his reward. (Mt 10:41-42) He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. (1 Tim 6:18-19)(NASB) Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, (19) storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future (KJV: time to come)… (Col 3:23-24) and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men (24) knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (12) Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven… (Mt 5:11-12) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. (13) But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: (14) and thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompense (repay) thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (Lk 14:12-14) Then said he also to him that bade (invited) him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither they kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence (repayment) be made thee. (Lk 6:35) But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again and your reward shall be great… The Bible gives us a number of examples of the kinds of works and deeds we can do to earn these rewards. (15) If any man’s WORK shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved yet so as by fire. (14) If any man’s WORK abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD. (1 Cor 3:12-15) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble (13) every man’s WORK shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire shall try every man’s WORK of what sort it is. ![]() (Mt 16:27) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then he shall REWARD every man according to his WORKS. (Rev 22:12) And behold, I come quickly and my REWARD is with me, to give every man according as his WORK shall be. (1 Cor 3:8) Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own REWARD ACCORDING TO HIS LABOUR. I do believe the Bible teaches that it will be for how we lived our lives in faithfulness to Him, as well as, our works and deeds that we did during our time on Earth. A: The Bible doesn’t really seem to make it clear exactly what our rewards will be, or how many things we can be rewarded for.
