A lot of people say salvation is a reward.

But that is false because salvation is a gift while rewards are earned by works.

The crowns are a puzzle. Since you can earn more than one how do they fit on your head? Or do they float above it? Maybe their stackable.

I understand it is not a critical question. It is just a curiosity.

The Bible says in heaven we have mansions. But what many people do not understand is mansion simply means a dwelling place.

And when looking at all the other realities it is not demanded to be a building.

So the question for this thread is, do rewards affect what kind of mansion we get? Or is that purely a salvation issue?

The Bible makes it clear that as God gives us increasing knowledge there are increasing rewards available.

So obviously works towards are based on knowledge.

And begs the question before mosaic law could those people have earned rewards?

As well, how do the rewards for Old Testament Israel compared to those of the church?

And how does all of it affect the relationship of all these different people in eternity?

So there's a lot more to rewards than first meets the eye.
