When a teacher puts forth works in place of Christ, for any matter, be it justification, sanctification, or reward – that teacher will ultimately damage the conscience of believers. In doing this, a believer shuts the door to their present enjoyment of the Kingdom.
The issue comes when you attach rewards to a wage system and use them to threaten believers with punishments for sins that were dealt with at the cross of Christ. Bad teaching on rewards produces an accursed Gospel.
In the Bible, there are two separate systems presented: the system of works, and the system of grace. While they are presented, only one is “legitimate” and offers justification and blessing. Most believers live caught between the two systems, believing that justification is by grace, but the blessing and the reward are by works. Seeing how rewards work in the system of grace is crucial if we are going to live free in Christ and actually participate in God’s great work as friends and stewards of His riches.

Really enjoyed reading this book. It doesn’t matter where your walk with Christ is. This is good for anyone new to the faith or been saved for some years now. I believe it is important for Christians to read this as so many are deceived in institutional churches today. I see too many pastors in churches teaching saved by grace but then backload works to earn rewards or be cast in “outer” darkness putting fear into the believer. This book has really put me at ease and filled with joy knowing I can’t do anything to earn rewards, Christ is our reward. I pray that believers will be blessed and encouraged when they read this book.
Short book but powerful!! So much clarity and understanding. Highly recommend this for anyone, doesn’t matter where you are on your walk.
Praise the Lord! I am so grateful for this teaching. It has aided in opening up understanding of God’s grace and is helping me separate from the law and dead works. I look forward to reading more of David’s books!
