How do we know that following Christ leads to eternal rewards?

Answered in 1 source

Following Christ leads to eternal rewards as affirmed by Jesus, who promises eternal life and abundant blessings for those who leave everything for Him.

In the sermon, it is illustrated that following Christ requires a self-denial and willingness to surrender all for the sake of the gospel, as Jesus outlines in Mark 8:34. Peter, having left all to follow Jesus, asks what they would receive, to which Jesus responds that those who forsake earthly ties will receive a hundredfold now and eternal life in the age to come (Mark 10:29-30). The concept of eternal rewards is grounded in God's promises, which believers can trust are fulfilled through His grace. The eternal life we receive is not a reward for our works but a gift from God, as stated in 1 John 5:11-12. Thus, faithful commitment to Christ ensures both present blessings in community and the hope of future glory.
