Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Now we have to be careful here.

To overdo the sorrow, regret aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to turn heaven into hell.

But to under-emphasize it is to make obedience in this life in consequential.

Rewards will matter.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

As Christians, we understand that good works can never earn God's forgiveness.

But that doesn't mean our good deeds are worthless.

In fact, the way we spend our life here on earth will greatly determine our rewards in heaven.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress explains why heaven won't be the same for everyone.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Yes, we're living in confusing times.

And yes, it's a Christian's role to bring light into the darkness.

But as my friend and mentor Howard Hendricks used to say,

we cannot impart that which we do not possess.

That's a fancy way of saying we need to fill our minds with God's bright light in order to effectively shine for Him.
