As I studied chapter 4 and moved on to chapter 5 I realized that there really is no time divide between the two, and they both take place in heaven at about the same time. I also realized that many scholars seem to think that believers will receive the 'rewards' promised throughout Scripture during this time....so before I went on to chapter 5 I studied the 'rewards.' Here is a part of it.
We all will be judged/rewarded
2 Cor. 5:10
There are rewards for ‘works’:
Col 3:24
1 Cor. 3:-11-14
Heb. 11:16
God wants to give us rewards:
Luke 12:32
Jesus is preparing our rewards:
Jo 14:2
Description of rewards (note we will study ‘crowns’ and ‘reigning with Christ” together in our group)
Being with Christ – Jo 14:3
1 Thes. 4:17
Beholding the face of God - Matt 5:8
Being glorified with Christ 1 John 3:2
Sitting in Judgment with Christ Matt 19:28
Shall be given at the second coming of Christ
Matt. 16:27
Rev. 22:12
