Are there Rewards in Heaven?

July 19, 2019

Should we expect rewards in heaven for our behavior in this life? If 1 Corinthians 3 does not teach that we will receive rewards in heaven, are there other passages which do teach that doctrine?
Some claim that Scripture teaches believers will receive various crowns in heaven based on their works in this life.

This podcast look at two key themes Scripture teaches, and two main mistakes we can make in studying these passages:
1 Corinthians 9:23-27 - The runner's crown
James 1:12 - The crown of life
2 Timothy 4:7-8 - The crown of righteousness
Matthew 25 - The Parable of the sheep and the goats; the Parable of the Talents
Revelation 20:11-15 and 22:11-15 - The Great Judgment
Luke 19 - The Parable of the Minas

This series answers the question: "In what sense will believers be judged according to their works?"
