Eternal Rewards From God for Godly Christians

SO4J.com / SO4J-TV

ETERNAL REWARDS FROM GOD FOR GODLY CHRISTIANS – looks at the Rewards in Heaven from God for Godly Christians & Faithful Believers. A list of Short Summed-Up Scriptures on the Eternal Rewards for Believers in Jesus. 

• James 1:12 (NASB) “BLESSED is a MAN who PERSEVERES under TRIAL; for once he has been APPROVED, he will RECEIVE the CROWN OF LIFE which the LORD has PROMISED to those who LOVE HIM.”

  QUOTE FROM CHARLES SPURGEON [1834-1892]: “There are no CROWN-WEARERS in Heaven who were not CROSS-BEARERS here below.”

• QUOTE FROM DR. DONALD GRAY BARNHOUSE [1985-1960]: “Let us live, then, in the light of eternity. If we do not, we are weighting the scales against our eternal welfare. We must understand that “what- soever a man soweth” must be taken in its widest meaning, and that every thought and intent of the heart will come under the scrutiny of the Lord and His coming. We can be sure that at the Judgment Seat of Christ there will be a marked difference between the Christian who has lived his life before the Lord, clearly discerning what was for the glory of God, and another Christian who was saved in a rescue mission at the tag end of a depraved and vicious life, or a nominal Christian saved on his deathbed after a life of self-pride, self-righteousness, self-love, and self-sufficiency. All will be in heaven, but the differences will be eternal. We may be sure that the consequences of our character will survive the grave and that we shall face those consequences at the Judgment Seat of Christ.”– Quote by Donald Gray Barnhouse (Pastor, Preacher, Radio Pioneer, Theologian, Christian Author. As SO4J-TV’s Pastor John MacArthur says: “Donald Barnhouse was a great Theologian and a great Preacher in the Reformed tradition and expositor of Scripture.”) – This above quote is an excerpt from Randy Alcorn’s excellent Book: “Money, Possessions, and Eternity.”
