Luke 6:23
Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven.

Revelation 11:18
the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints

One of the things that constantly puzzles me is how few believers in Jesus think much about the “Judgment Seat of Christ” and the eternal rewards earned in this life that will affect the quality of our eternity forever.

The Bible talks about judgment, rewards, and the loss of rewards a lot, but it is like most Christians don’t see them when they read the Bible.

All the verses written about the rewards given to us by God for the deeds that we have done in this life are intended by God to motivate us, stir us up, make us hot, and increase our willingness to work hard and sacrifice for God.

But because there are so few who understand the eternal rewards that we could receive that will make a huge difference in the quality of our life in eternity there are a lot of lukewarm, apathetic, world-focused Christians running around who make very little difference with their life in this world.

I think about the day I will stand before Jesus and give an account of my life and what I have done with my life for Him constantly. I begin my day thinking about it, and I end my day thinking about it. I am a highly motivated, driven person, always wanting to do more, looking for opportunities, looking for open doors, and never satisfied or content with what I have done or how much I have grown; I want more and more and more.
