Download or read book Investing in Eternity What the Bible Really Teaches about Rewards written by Ph. D. Douglas C. Bozung and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much contemporary Christian teaching focuses upon the present benefits of a life consecrated to the service of Jesus. However, less attention has been paid to the relationship between present living and the future enjoyment of eternity with God. Investing in Eternity offers a thorough biblical and theological basis for what is known as the doctrine of degrees of reward in eternity. Rightly understood, this ancient but eminently relevant teaching of the Scriptures serves as a means of greater motivation in the Christian life. This book is intended not only for the general Christian public, but also for those who desire a more rigorous exegetical and theological treatment of the subject than is currently available. Specifically, this book will be an asset to a Christian who is struggling to understand the value of his service for Jesus in eternity and the pastor or instructor of higher education who wishes to clarify his own understanding of this doctrine. Since 2009 Dr. Bozung has served as Teaching Pastor at Christian Fellowship Church in New Holland, PA. He also serves as adjunct professor of Bible and Theology at Lancaster Bible College, Lancaster, PA. Besides the present volume, Dr. Bozung is the author of Making Sense of God's Plan for Humanity: An Easy to Understand Guide to Dispensationalism (Dispensational Publishing House, 2017) as well as numerous peer-reviewed articles and book reviews. Dr. Bozung has a PhD (2008) from Baptist Bible Seminary, Clarks Summit, PA, a ThM (1987) from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a BS (1979) from Penn State University.

Download or read book Your Eternal Reward written by Erwin W. Lutzer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we reflect on how we lived for Christ, we might weep on the other side of the celestial gates. To their own detriment, many Christians have emptied the judgment seat of Christ of its meaning, living like they will never meet His knowing gaze. For this they may have tears in heaven. In this provocative book, Dr. Erwin Lutzer argues that remorse in heaven awaits those who don’t live fully for God on earth. Exploring the often-overlooked Scriptures about reward and judgment for Christians, Dr. Lutzer answers questions like: How will believers be judged? Do rewards for faithfulness vary? If heaven is perfect, why do rewards even matter? His answers are immensely practical. Your Eternal Reward will prompt you to live more faithfully, whether in your conduct, your speech, or even your use of money, that you might enjoy heaven all the more. What is sown on earth is reaped in heaven, and Dr. Lutzer will have you taking this truth to heart.

Book excerpt: One of the major themes of Jesus teachings was the theme of Eternal Rewards. This topic is seldom taught in churches, but it provides major motivation for holiness, personal transformation and faithful service. We shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ to give account for our stewardship as followers of Christ. At stake are position, honour and reward in the coming Kingdom of Christ.Eternal Rewards are an important part of Jesus teachings, both in the Gospels and also in the Book of Revelation. Eternal Rewards are Jesus generosity to us in the coming Millennium and beyond that acknowledge our love for Him, our transformation to become like Him and the service we have done on His behalf during our life on earth. This series brings understanding of the significance and importance of Eternal Rewards. This teaching continue to explain what those rewards are and it's focus is Eternal GloryJesus frequently taught about Eternal rewards in the Coming Millennial Kingdom and for the need for His disciples to pursue them and live in preparation for His Second coming. In this series we examine what are the Eternal rewards that Jesus has reserved for those who love Him.A Crown is given to the Victor who has won the race or the fight. It is given in recognition and honour to a person because of what they have achieved or overcome. In this message we discover five different Crowns that are promised to believers who meet the conditions. These are the Incorruptible Crown, The Crown of Rejoicing, The Crown of Righteousness, The Crown of Life and the Crown of Glory.Eternal Rewards are expressions of the value and honour that Jesus places upon those who love and serve Him in this life. The rewards are eternal and will be recognised and valued in the Millennial Kingdom and ages to come.Every believer must appear before the Judgment seat of Christ to give account of our life and stewardship service. Our life and works will be examined to establish what rewards we will qualify for. For some believers this will be a time of celebration, joy and eternal honour. For other believers it will come as a shock as they discover they have wasted the life and opportunities entrusted to them, and that their life and works fail to qualify and they are excluded from the rewards that Jesus had prepared for them. Such believers are saved, but forfeit rewards in the coming Kingdom of Jesus.The First Resurrection is presented as the great hope and the prize to be won by the believer. Believers and unbelievers will both arise together in the General resurrection at the end of the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom of Christ. However, the First resurrection is for those believers who qualify to participate. It is possible for a believer not to qualify for this First resurrection.In 2 Peter 1, Peter describes the necessity of personal transformation and fruit-bearing in the life of the believer. Peter shares his revelation of Christ coming in majesty to rule and reign, and the necessity of the believer to be diligent in adding to their foundational faith the character qualities of Christ. Believers who neglect to commit to personal growth, Peter describes as barren, unfruitful, blind, shortsighted, and forgetful of the work and calling of Christ. Personal growth, heart and character transformation ensure we will never fall, will be fruitful and stable, and will have an abundant entrance into the Coming Kingdom of God.Contents:1.

Download or read book Living for Eternity written by Matthew Robert Payne and published by Revival Waves of Glory Ministries. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever pondered life beyond the one that we live on this earth? What does living for eternity mean for you as a Christian? Is there more to it than just existing for a short time and then dying? These are questions that must have entered everyone's mind at one time or another, but being so busy with the challenges of life, it is often relegated to the shelf, to be looked at and evaluated at a much later time. The dilemma is determining how much time we have. The ultimate aim for Christians is to get to Heaven and be in the presence of our God Almighty for all eternity, but not everyone is granted a pass into the Kingdom. We need to begin sowing treasures in Heaven by living a life on earth that is befitting of a Christian. This is simpler than most of us imagine. We do not have to be rich or famous. We only need to bear in mind that we will not get to Heaven by our works here on earth but by putting out trust in the finished works of Jesus. In this book, Matthew provides us with simple ways on how to prepare for our life in eternity. He reminds us that God's grace is a favor that He bestowed on us at salvation, therefore, we are to release it to others as well. How do we put this into practice? We need to learn how to consistently be Christ to others and to tell people about Heaven's perfect love story. Living with eternity in mind is the way we are meant to live. It will change our outlook about almost everything. We can see the impact that we can make if we think beyond ourselves and live a day to day life that represents Christ to those who do not know Him.

Download or read book Attributes of God written by A.W Pink and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal relationship of yielding to him and living according to his biblical precepts. Pink's book explores attributes such as God's decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches, but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through his living Word.
