And the result of that forfeiture of rewards is going to be real loss, and eternal regret. While it's true that every genuine believer in Christ is going to cross the finish line and be welcomed into heaven, the fact is, some Christians are going to be surprised when their works are disqualified by the judge, and they end up forfeiting rewards. Yet, many Christians fail to understand a similar truth.

My message is titled "Rewards in Heaven" on today's edition of Pathway to Victory. And today I'm going to explain what we should be doing right now to receive rewards in the next life. In fact, the Bible describes a type of judgment during which every Christian will be evaluated and hopefully rewarded for his or her good works on earth. Well, you might be surprised to learn that is not true. Many Christians assume that when we die, heaven will be exactly the same for every believer. Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. ![]()
