Throughout the Bible we see God promising to reward his servants.
And although we're going to receive a recompense in his lifetime, the Bible also talks about
a future event known as the Judgment Seat of Christ where believers shall reap the benefits
of their labors during the millennial reign of Christ.
Now this isn't to be mistaken with the Great White Throne Judgment which is a separate
event for unbelievers to be judged for their sins, for their condemnation to be confirmed,
and to be cast into the lake of fire.
The Judgment Seat of Christ isn't to determine the salvation and damnation of a believer
since our sins are already forgiven.
Essentially, it's God's reward ceremony to determine what type of a reward, if any,
a believer shall receive.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3-13,
Every man's work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare.
And the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss.
Yet he himself shall be saved, yet so is by fire.
