147 – Here or There? 4 Characteristics of Rewards

We’re tackling the often-overlooked motives behind our actions and the rewards we seek – are they here or there? We all deal with this tension, are we focused on receiving recognition and applause here on earth, or are we aligning ourselves with eternal rewards? We explore the biblical perspective on rewards, discussing four key characteristics that can help us shift our focus from seeking approval of others to living faithfully in God’s greater story.

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • Understanding the reasons for our actions

  • What constitutes true rewards and their impact on our lives

  • The divine choice of rewards

  • Seeking rewards on earth or in heaven

Key Takeaways:

  • If our actions are driven by the motives for applause of others rather than to honor God, we forfeit the potential for eternal rewards and settle for fleeting earthly praise​.

  • God sets the terms for eternal rewards that far surpass anything we can imagine on earth.

  • He determines the divine rewards granted based on His perfect wisdom and understanding​.

  • Our choices can reflect our commitment to prioritizing what truly matters in the eyes of God​. 

“How we use our money often aims us in the direction of one set of rewards here on earth or another set of rewards in heaven.”
