The words 'AWARD' and 'REWARD' sound a lot alike –
but there is a significant difference between the two.
An AWARD is an Honour or Gift that you are Given, but a REWARD is something that you are PAID - and Romans 6:23 is very clear about this distinction:
“For the wages of sin is death…
(but see below).”God’s Word repeatedly makes this very sharp distinction, all of which detail the true type and cost of this eternal 'reward:' warning about:
Lastly, 2 Peter 2:13 describes the type of those souls given this reward saying that they “... shall receive the REWARD OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you.”
God takes no pleasure in giving REWARD to the unrighteous, but instead takes delight in giving an AWARD to the RIGHTEOUS as promised at the conclusion of Romans 6:23 -
“…But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Friend, you have a choice – which one will you pursue?
REWARD or AWARD?
