The Christian's rewards are the result of Christ's death burial and resurrection

20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

-Romans 6

We assume that this is talking about our good works and not about the result of the legal union which is being set apart for salvation and being saved from the wrath to come.



Many people speak of "fruit" but never explain what they mean by it.

What does fruit mean?

The Bible says anyone believing in the gospel is saved. What else is there to do? The result of what Christ accomplished on the cross means life for the elect alone.

I'm surprise you are just now getting upset at this.

The problem with the rewards thing is that it doesn't clarify anything. The Christian hope is that Christ has set us free from bondage of sin and death so that in Him we live. What rewards are given is nothing but the result of Christ's imputed righteousness.
