Some of us will reign with Christ (Revelation 20:6). Faithful servants will be put “in charge of many things” (Matthew 25:21-23). Christ will grant some followers leadership over cities, in proportion to their service on earth (Luke 19:12-19). Scripture refers to five different crowns, suggesting leadership positions. We’ll even command angels (1 Corinithians 6:3).
We are given these eternal rewards for doing good works (Eph 6:8; Rom 2:6; Rom 2:10), persevering under persecution (Luke 6:22-23), showing compassion to the needy (Luke 14:13-14), and treating our enemies kindly (Luke 6:35).
God also grants us rewards for generous giving: “Go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven” (Matthew 19:21).
