The Believer's Payday
224 pgs.
According to the Scriptures, how a believer lives right now impacts the results of that "payday"--the appearance before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Understanding the subject of rewards, which was frequently discussed by Christ and His apostles, is critical for developing a biblical worldview and for producing endurance in the Christian life. The study examines many scriptures that promise significant rewards to the faithful, diligent child of God.
