What does Jesus mean by “reward in heaven”?
First, the concept of reward is based on God’s justice.
Second, the concept of a reward requires God’s grace.
Romans 6:23 (ESV)
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Third, the reward passages challenge us to seek our consequences with God.
So now at last, return to our opening text ...
God’s offer of a reward in heaven is not a bribe.
it is a challenge.
