Good Friday morning, thanks for joining us again on the podcast.

Here's the question.

The question today, are my eternal rewards and my eternal inheritance the same thing?

One seems to imply that we can get more our rewards.

The other seems more static and more out of our hands, our inheritance.

So are these rewards and our inheritance different things, or are they the same thing?

Perceptive question, as always, from our perceptive APJ listeners, and particularly one from

a listener named Nathan who lives in Schenectady, New York.

Pastor John, I have read and really enjoyed your book, Reading the Bible Supernaturally.

I believe my question is the beginning fruit of a deeper grace to look long and linger

over passages of Scripture.

That's wonderful.

My question is on 1 Peter 1, 4.

There the Apostle refers to an inheritance which is reserved for us in heaven.

This got me thinking about Matthew 6.20 where Jesus commands us to lay up for yourselves

treasures in heaven.

My question is about the relationship between the inheritance Peter refers to as being

reserved for us right now.

And the treasure Jesus tells us to lay up for ourselves over time.

One seems static, the other dynamic.

Are they the same thing?

Are they different?
