Oswald Chambers wrote the classic book, ” My utmost for His Highest. ” Christians need to “Go for the Gold of God’s Kingdom” and offer God our very best.

Will We Be Rewarded In heaven
Will we be rewarded in heaven? Yes. The scriptures clearly teach that there are degrees of reward for the Christian. God wants all of us to enter into our eternal destiny with golden crowns of glory and great rewards, Part one mentions how we should be ” investing with gold” in God’s kingdom. The question of will we be rewarded in heaven will depend upon our faithfulness in serving the Lord diligently, First Corinthians chapter 3, encourages us all to build our lives on the only foundation Jesus Christ with precious materials. These are spiritually, gold, silver and precious stones.
The Christian’s temptations in trials help in the same way to perfect and strengthen in running this Olympics. A very powerful passage illustrating the Christian growth and development in love, excellence, patience and endurance as he or she undergoes trials of all kinds is found in the second epistle of Peter. A clear ” ladder of virtues ” is displayed – leading finally to the ability to love with the deep divine ‘ agape love’ of Christ.
These 3 AUDIO sermon snippets ( based on 2 Peter 1: 1 to 11) illustrate these truths of how we can ” Go for the gold” as we follow the Lord and serve him and seek to offer the utmost for His Highest.
