Can Eternal Rewards Be Eternally Lost?

October 17, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Eternal Rewards

Question Are rewards eternally lost when they are lost? Or are you eligible to regain those rewards if you repent, return, and persevere correctly for that reward after having fallen away? Answer Thanks for the question. Here are some things to consider. First, once you lay up treasure in heaven (Matt 6:19-21), it seems to

The Parable of the Laborers (Matt 20:1-16)

March 15, 2019 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Eternal Rewards, Faithfulness, Parable of the Laborers

Recently I received a question about the parable found in Matt 20:1-16. The person asking the question wanted to know the meaning of the parable. It seems to argue against the doctrine of rewards. In the parable the Lord speaks of a landowner that hires laborers to work in his vineyard. The landowner hires five

A reader sent me an email about the passing of Pastor Tom Rodgers last year. Here is what he wrote: I believe you knew Tom Rodgers over in Wichita Falls, and I imagine you were aware of his passing recently. He and Reggie Coe were our pastors back in the early 1980s when we were

Can We Be Sure in This Life That We Will Rule with Christ?

February 6, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Tim 4:6-8, Assurance, Eternal Rewards, Ruling with Christ

I received the following excellent question via email: Thank you for your daily blogs. They are (for the most part) a great encouragement. I’m still not on board with your women in ministry position. Today’s blog was great, and it raised a question for me.  Near the end you said, “I am a cracked pot. While

C. I. Scofield About Eternal Rewards

January 25, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, C. I. Scofield, Eternal Rewards, The difference between salvation and rewards

Bill Fiess sent me some interesting quotes about eternal rewards from various authors. The ones he sent from C. I. Scofield I found to be very helpful. See what you think. C. I. Scofield, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, 1921, p. 91. God’s purpose in promising to reward with heavenly and eternal honors the

He Is the Author of Eternal Salvation to All Who Obey Him — Hebrews 5:9

August 17, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Rewards, Eternal Salvation, Hebrews 5:9, Salvation through Obedience

This question just popped into my Inbox: I’ve noticed there are passages in the Bible that appear contradictory. While some passages talk about grace, other passages speak of obedience. I suspect this is the reason for so much confusion among believers. I’m curious what you make of the following passage: “though He was a Son,

Will We Give Back Our Rewards? — Revelation 4:10-11

June 28, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - casting our crowns before Christ, Eschatology, Eternal Rewards, Rev 4:10-11

A reader wondered: I thought of Revelation 4:10-11, where it says the 24 Elders will cast their crowns down before the feet of Jesus. The Grace New Testament Commentary doesn’t say much on this. I looked at another commentary and it said that maybe we will be so full of gratitude that we will be

Do Judgment Seat of Christ Rewards Last Forever or Just 1,000 years?

June 18, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eschatology, Eternal Rewards, Millennium, Overcomers, rewards

In a recent blog I suggested that missed rewards would be missed forever. One person strongly disagreed and commented in response that “rewards are for time, 1000 years, not eternity.” Someone else responded to that comment with this question: “Where does the Bible tell us that rewards are just for a short time? It is

Negative Consequences at the Bema?

June 14, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bema, Eternal Rewards, Judgment, Judgment Seat of Christ

I received the following email: I understand the deadly consequences of unrepentant sin in this life. But I don’t get the idea of negative consequences at the Judgment Seat of Christ. What deadly consequences would there be? In 1 Cor 3:10-15 it sounds like any wood, hay, or stubble works will simply be burned up.
