Treasures, Gifts and Rewards – Greg Albrecht
Grace alone, faith alone and Christ alone is a way of stating our unrelenting focus on the grace of God in the ministry of CWR/PTM. Our good works are the evidence that we are saved by the grace of God, they are evidence that Christ lives his risen life in us. Good works are the result of God’s grace, the product of Christ living in us, for indeed, apart from him we can do nothing of eternal virtue and good (John 15:5). Our good works, the gifts of God, the fruit of God the Holy Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23), involve our participation, our willing self-sacrifice and our service to others in the name of Christ, but they do not earn ...
Extra Rewards for Those Who Run Further and Faster, Against Greater Obstacles, in the Race of Grace? – Greg Albrecht
Question:
I have just read your blog post titled “What is Our Eternal Reward”. I have a question. After we receive the gift of eternal life I believe we will sit at a fabulous banquet in the Kingdom, and those like me who haven't done much with our talents will be applauding people like Joni Ericson Tada who allowed God to use her, in spite of being a quadriplegic, to do an incredible work of serving many handicapped people around world. She, like many others like her, who devoted their lives to works of service, and have made tremendous sacrifices to serve others should be rewarded according to their works. And shmucks like me will be ...
What Is Our Eternal Reward? – by Greg Albrecht
Q: What is our eternal reward?

According to the gospel of Jesus Christ a measured reward we receive on the basis of our own efforts cannot be the reward the biblical writers have in mind. The New Testament is clear and absolute: our eternal reward is given, rather than earned. Everything we as Christ-followers are able to produce by ourselves here in this temporal life is physical and has a shelf life. Nothing we can produce, apart from God, is ...
But What About Rewards? – by Greg Albrecht
Q: Jesus spoke of God rewarding people for charitable giving, for prayer and for fasting: "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:3-4). "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:6). "But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your ...
