Understanding God's Reward System

Reward is defined as benefits received for corresponding work done in God's kingdom.
Divine Reward is different from Divine favor.In favor,we receive what we do not deserve but in rewards, we receive benefits that correspond to the "investments" we have made.

Two Types of Rewards:
          * Temporal
          *  Eternal

In Temporal
          * God rewards those who serve Him on earth-Mark 10:23-30
          * God rewards those who obey Him while on earth-Joshua1:8
          * God rewards those who sow kingdom seeds-Luke 6:38

In Eternal
           * We pass from spiritual death(as a result of sin) to life eternal-John 5:24
           *  We escape God's judgement -Romans8:1
           *  We inherit mansions prepared by Christ in heaven-John 14:1

The benefits discussed above applies only to those who have come to the knowledge of the LORD and are walking with Him.
