The things worth the most reside in our hearts and not in our hands.ĭon’t think you must hold a grand position on earth or do some great service to gain these heavenly rewards.

But works like (resembling) wood, hay and stubble (timber, grass and rubbish) will be burnt up with no reward. They will be like gold, silver and precious The works we have done for Him because we love Him will receive eternal reward. He will judge us according to the way we have lived for Him, and the way we have served Him. ![]() Why will Jesus have this judgement for His people?Ģ.
