Will we be rewarded for our works?

[Oakback]

to quote Maximus in the movie Gladiator; ( I paraphrase)

"what we do in this life, will echo in eternity"

'rewarded each according to his works'..yes,it does sound like we will recieve some type of reward (s),for what we have done.

Jesus paid it ALL. It's free to anyone who wants it.

It doesnt mean we are paying for it, but the Lord expects more than lip service....

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
