How to Earn Eternal Rewards - DiscipleTown Unit #23
|
 DiscipleTown #23: How to Earn Eternal Rewards, the latest DiscipleTown Kid's Church unit from Karl Bastian and DiscipleLand, explores how God rewards his children not only with blessings in this life, but with rewards in the life to come!
God loves to reward His children for their hard work, obedience, and service on earth. The Bible teaches that every attitude, thought, and action has both earthly and eternal consequences.
For believers, bad attitudes, negative thoughts, and selfish actions will burn up at Christ's judgment seat. But God will reward good attitudes, positive thoughts, and selfless actions, generously multiplying their value in heaven.
This is both assuring as we know that we'll be forgiven for our failures, and also motivating as we understand that we'll be rewarded for the good things we do.
