Welcome to our website!If you are looking for truth, you have come to the right place. The Bible teaches that you can know for sure, before you die, that you will go to heaven (1 John 5:13). If you would like to learn more about that, let us suggest that you click on one of the Bible study guides listed under the SALVATION heading to the right. Or, if you prefer, you may click on the SALVATION heading to the upper left. For those of you who already know without a doubt that you are going to heaven, we welcome you as well. There are many short but intense Bible studies for the growing Christian also. Many think that once a person becomes a Christian, they will go to heaven and enjoy the same rewards as all other Christians. It is true that salvation is a FREE GIFT given by God to all believers (Romans 6:23) because Jesus Christ paid the entire debt for each of us at the cross. Salvation, eternal life, heaven cannot be earned. The Bible also teaches, however, that although salvation is free to the one who places their total trust in the death of Christ, the rewards and inheritance that God has for us are not. Unlike salvation, rewards must be earned (1 Corinthians 3:10-15; Matthew 5:12). How are they to be earned? Revelation 22:12 & 14 tells us that rewards are earned by Christians through their righteous deeds. 1 Corinthians 3:8 tells Christians that it is through their “labor”, and Matthew 10:42 says “...he shall not lose his reward”. Just exactly what are these rewards, or inheritance? Many of them are listed in the Book of Revelation: Revelation 2:7 (to eat from “the tree of life”); 2:10 (“crown of life”); 2:17 (“manna”...”white stone”...”new name on stone”); 2:26 - 28 (“authority over nations”...”morning star”); and many more are listed in Revelation 3:5, 11 - 12, and vs. 21. James 1:12 also tells us about the “crown of life”. Most Christians aren’t even aware of the rewards they are to be working for. God speaks of the “righteous acts of the saints” (Revelation 19:8) which is how our “wedding clothes” (Matthew 22:11 & 12) are to be woven. No one attends a wedding feast without proper attire and God lays it all out for us in His Word. For those true believers who are interested in learning more about rewards and inheritance, let us suggest that you use the study guides THE BRIDE AND THE CITY, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, or WILL ALL CHRISTIANS INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD which are listed to the right. We encourage you to use your own Bible to look up each of the references in their entirety so that you can see the complete context. We hope that this website will be a good source of Bible study to you and that you will visit often. As is stated at the end of each of the study guides, we hope that you will download or print out any or as many as you will need, either for your own personal study or for a group Bible study. Our goal is to help to put sound, Biblical teaching into the hands of Christians to help direct and guide them into the deeper truths of the Bible. |
