The Biblical Use of Rewards As a Motivation for Christian Service LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BIBLICAL USE OF REWARDS AS A MOTIVATION FOR CHRISTIAN SERVICE A Thesis Project Submitted to Liberty University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Bill Fredric Korver Lynchburg, Virginia August, 2011 Copyright 2011 Bill F. Korver All Rights Reserved LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET ______________________ GRADE ______________________________ MENTOR ______________________________ READER ABSTRACT THE BIBLICAL USE OF REWARDS AS A MOTIVATION FOR CHRISTIAN SERVICE Bill F. Korver Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 2011 Mentor: Dr. Charles Davidson A review of current cultural trends and Christian literature reveals very little writing and preaching about a motivation for personal obedience in general and vocational ministry in particular. The purpose of this project will be to demonstrate how one's motivation for service to Christ will be greatly enhanced when considering the possibility of gaining, or losing, rewards from Jesus Christ both in this life and more specifically at the future judgment seat of Christ. It will be the intent of this project to demonstrate conclusively that not only is this a scripturally sound motivation, but also that it is a chief motivation employed by the New Testament writers. Abstract length: 104 words i DEDICATION It has been said, "If you see a turtle on a fence post, you can be sure it had help getting there!" I am not a turtle, but I most definitely had help to get to this point of my life. In my formal education, three professors at Southeastern Bible College (Birmingham, AL) had the most profound impact, Doctors Gannett, Raiford and Talley respectively taught me how to walk in the Spirit, how to rightly interpret the scriptures and how to clearly communicate God's Word. During those days I met Rick Oglesby, who later recommended a resource that sparked an interest in the topic of rewards and loss. A special thanks to the believers at First Bible Church (Decatur, AL), Christ Community Church (Pinehurst, NC) and the Carolina Bible College (Fayetteville, NC) family who have encouraged and supported me through years of study and patiently allowed me to grow as a teacher of God's Word and leader of His people. Finally, my family deserves the greatest thanks. My parents, Bill and Fran Korver, introduced me to the Savior and have consistently lived for the King. My five siblings each have had a profound influence on my life. Last, but certainly not least, my wife, Marcia, and three children, Elizabeth, Jared and Allegra, have always been faithful encouragers and my biggest cheerleaders. For all these people and many others I have known, I cannot wait to see the rewards the King bestows upon them! ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.................................................................................................................................... iv Statement of the problem............................................................................................................... iv Statement of limitation................................................................................................................... iv Theoretical basis for the project..................................................................................................... vi Statement of Methodology............................................................................................................. vi Review of Literature ...................................................................................................................... vi Chapter 1.

Among them are these, how does she get the uninvolved involved? Studies show that 8 in 10 church members are not. Another major challenge is, how does the church encourage the 20%, or so, of those who are actively involved to remain involved in ministry? Stating the problems another way, believers in the United States do not live lives that are demonstrably different than those who are not believers. Why is this and how can and should the church respond? STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM What the church has been doing has not been working, thus it should be clearly evident that something else needs to be done. This work will attempt to demonstrate what has been done to address the problem by two major systems of theology and then will give what the writer believes is a far more biblical response, one that can be traced from the earliest pages of the Old Testament to the last page of the New Testament. It is the writer's contention that the entire Bible, but especially the New Testament's primary means to motivate believers to obedience, to sanctification, is the promise of rewards and/or the threat of loss of them. STATEMENT OF LIMITATIONS This work will not consider other biblical motivators such as a love for Christ, a desire to help others and an avoidance of discipline in this life. Another limitation of this study is that it will not consider exhaustively every passage that addresses rewards as a v vi motivator, only a representative number. THEORETICAL BASIS FOR THE PROJECT The subject of rewards as a motivato r to obedience, a life of Christian service, touches on many facets of the Christian life. Theologically it addresses the subject of soteriology. Theology has long recognized that salvation is a three phase issue, justification, sanctification and glorification. Unfortunately works of obedience are often linked to justification when they are a sanctification issue. Further as one is, through good works and other means, sanctified, his glorification will be forever affected. The more one pursues after holiness in this life, the more glory he receives and can reflect upon Christ. STATEMENT OF METHODOLOGY It will be the writer's intention to demonstrate in greater detail the problem the church faces (chapter 1). Further it will be demonstrated how the two major theological systems address the problem (chapter 2). The writer will turn to the Old Testament to consider the use of rewards in the Old Testament (chapter 3). The subject is not as fully revealed in the Old Testament, but a foundation is laid. Turning to the New Testament, four key figures will be considered to determine what each said or wrote about rewards. The four are, Jesus, Peter, Paul and John (chapter 4). If rewards are as significant as the writer contends, what rewards are there to be won or lost? Will they really motivate? These questions are raised and answered in chapter 5. The last chapter (6) will look at church history. If rewards are truly a motivator, it would appear in the nineteen centuries since the close of the canon there would be a record of live motivated by rewards. The final chapter considers the martyrs of the church and the music of the church. All this will be done by means of consulting commentaries, theologies, theological vii journals, on-line articles, hymnals and books specifically addressing the topic of rewards and the judgment seat of Christ. Additionally, several dozen believers

There are five texts which deal with a Christian’s potential for receiving crowns (1 Cor. 9:25; 1 Thess. 2:19; 2 Tim 4:8; James 1:12; and 1 Pet 5:4): Text: “And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: Take one young bull and two rams without blemish, 2 and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil (you shall make them of wheat flour). 3 You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.

  • The Epistle E-News GRACE CHURCH in New York City
    The Epistle E-news GRACE CHURCH in New York City In This Issue October 27, 2013 How to Suffer Well The Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost Outreach in WV This week Dear Friends, Coming Soon Some of you who have been around the Quick Links calendar year at Grace Church a few times may be wondering what has happened to the annual GIVE to Grace pledge campaign. Here we are, coming up on Visit our Website the last Sunday of October, and so far neither an usher nor the postal service has handed you More About Us a pledge card. Have you dodged the bullet? Did we simply Did You Miss a Sermon? forget? No, Pledge Sunday is just around the corner. This year it will be on November 10 rather than in October. Every year it seems that we barely lean into fall season when, bang: we start talking about funding for the coming year. The idea with the later date is to give people more time to connect with life at Grace Church before being asked to support it. With a later date for Pledge Sunday, people also might have a slightly better idea of what is possible in 2014. THE SUNDAY That being said, let me begin the talk about making a pledge FORUM @10 AM for 2014 with a personal word. My wife, Stacie, and I are tithers. We give 10% of our income to support the work of the Lord through the church. We have always found tithing to be a source of blessing, not a hardship.

  • A Brief Outline of Things to Come Compiled
    A Brief Outline of Things to Come Compiled by Theodore H. Epp Copyright @ 1952 Moody Bible Institute Chicago Chapter Seven - REWARDS - Norman H. Camp "Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour" (1 Corinthians 3:8). "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12). REWARDS ARE GIVEN for faithful service. Parents reward their children, teachers reward their scholars, and masters reward their servants to encourage and stimulate them in their labors and to express appreciation of the work done. Sometimes rewards are promised in advance, and sometimes they are given as a surprise; but they are based upon the services rendered or the sacrifices made. The character of a reward generally depends upon the generosity and the ability of the one who bestows it. Rewards differ from gifts. A gift is an expression of love and can never be claimed. A reward is bestowed because of labor performed and can always be claimed, if promised. Salvation is a gift; it can never be merited. It is bestowed by grace upon those who confess themselves to be unworthy sinners and receive the Son of GOD as their personal Saviour. Salvation is not a reward for good works, as some seem to think. "For by grace [unmerited favor] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). But rewards are promised by GOD to those who are saved by grace, and they are given according to the Christians' works after they are saved.

  • This Exiled Life – Part 2 How to Suffer Well
    February 5, 2017 College Park Church This Exiled Life – Part 2 How to Suffer Well 1 Peter 2:21-25 Mark Vroegop 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:21– 25 (ESV) “Keep trusting the One who keeps you trusting” If you have been around College Park for the last few years, you have probably heard me use this mantra in a number of different sermons. It is a helpful statement for me, which has been a helpful rallying-cry for my soul when I’m feeling the weight and pressure of life. It did not originate with me. In 2004, and as we were grieving the loss of our daughter, that statement was how John Piper concluded a condolence email that he wrote to us after a family member sent him an email about what we were walking through. That statement was meaningful because it distills in eight words the mindset that believers are to have as they walk through suffering.
