REWARDS, SUMMARY

1 Corinthians 3:14
If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.

God, in the New Testament Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and, for the faithful service of the saved, rewards. The passages are easily distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift, (for example), (Joh. 4:10); (Rom. 6:23); (Eph. 2:8); (Eph. 2:9), while rewards are earned by works; (Mat. 10:42); (Luk. 19:17); (1Co. 9:24); (1Co. 9:25); (2Ti. 4:7); (2Ti. 4:8); (Rev. 2:10); (Rev. 22:12). A further distinction is that salvation is a present possession (Luk. 7:50); (Joh. 3:36); (Joh. 5:24); (Joh. 6:47); while rewards are a future attainment, to be given at the coming of the Lord; (Mat. 16:27); (2Ti. 4:8); (Rev. 22:12). (1Co. 9:17); (Dan. 12:3); (1Co. 3:14).
