But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Heb. 11:6
When Jesus returns to the earth every person who has believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ and will be rewarded based on how he/she has lived his/her life.
I think too many people are coasting along on the fact that they have made a profession of faith and believe that is all that is required of them. Far too few understand that the profession of faith in Jesus Christ is just the first step, the foundation upon which your life is then built.
1 Cor. 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Matt. 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
