Trials and tribulations. I didn't know this in the past, but Trials and tribulations test our faith, and they make us stronger, wiser, and draw us closer to God.
I've been through some intense trials that left me lying in fetal position crying like a baby. Now those same experiences, hardly phase me. Each time I grow, the more intense my trials become.
However....
1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us that God will never allow us to endure more than we can handle, and he will always provide us with what we need to get through it all. So if you're going it, you're strong enough to see it to the end. God also promises, that with increased trials he will bring us peace. All we have to do is surrender to God, and depend on him completely.
Through the love of God, and with God, Believers are filled with POWER and a fearlessness non-believers will NEVER experience.

Since eternal life is not a result of good works, but a free gift of God's grace thru faith in Christ, salvation would not be considered a reward. A reward is a result of doing good works after one has received eternal life. Since we haven't been to heaven we have absolutely no idea what is the greatest reward. You're just going to have to wait until you get to heaven to find out when the rewards are given. I believe each Christian will be overjoyed and full of gratitude for whatever rewards the Father bestows on us.

What may be the factor of obedience and having works if all of us have been given the main concepts-blowing same reward? God does no longer be a in simple terms God if he rewarded each and every person precisely an analogous. There could be no factor in obedience. God has provided a plan, wherein we are all judged the two, yet in accordance with our obedience and works. This plan, stumbled on in the Bible, informs us that there will be for us diverse "mansions" in heaven, or places that we are going to be despatched to in accordance to Christ's judgement persons. The Apostle Paul factors those mansions or tiers out in the Bible. In 2 Corinthians 12:2, he tells us that there is a "0.33 heaven." In a million Corinthians 15:40, he tells us that there are 3 "tiers" or tiers of ehaven. as a result, in accordance to the Bible, we will not all be despatched to an analogous point of heaven.

The greatest reward has already been given to us. The birth, crucifixion, and Resurrection of our Savior. The forgiveness of our sins, and the eternal life we will share with Him

Eternal life with God. Also, being safe from the tribulation, should it come in our time. I would not want to be around for that.

To know that you were kind and made a difference in the life of someone who needed your help. It is a reward in itself.
