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 A Guide to Investing in Eternity written by Kevin W. Kaufman and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 254 pages.

Investing in Eternity examines the Bible’s conditional promises of blessing and concludes that the doctrine of rewards is one of the most important teachings of the Bible.

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 146 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who wants to settle for fleeting treasures on earth . . . when God offers everlasting treasures in heaven? It’s time to rethink our perspectives on money and possessions. In this thoroughly researched classic, Randy Alcorn shows us how to view these things accurately—as God’s provision for our good, the good of others, and his glory.

Saving? Retirement? Inheritance? How can we leave our children a true heritage? How can we use money in ways that God rewards?

Download or read book The Treasure Principle Revised and Updated written by Randy Alcorn and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis
