How do we know there are no degrees in glory for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

There are no degrees in glory because all believers are equally redeemed, loved, and united in Christ’s body.

The doctrine that there are no degrees in glory is demonstrated through several theological points. Firstly, Christ is our reward (Genesis 15:1), and in heaven, seeing Him is our ultimate fulfillment, overshadowing any physical or material rewards. Furthermore, our service to God flows from His love, not from a desire for personal gain (Galatians 5:6). Our standing before God is solely based on grace; as Romans 11:6 states, grace and works cannot coexist in salvation. Lastly, since all believers are part of one body (1 Corinthians 12:12-14), how can God bestow rewards on some and not others, when all members share in the blessings of Christ?
