How does faith relate to the recompense of the reward in Christian teaching?

Answered in 1 source

In Christian teaching, faith relates to the recompense of the reward by understanding that Christ Himself is the ultimate reward.

The recompense of the reward in the life of faith is not about earthly benefits but rather about the relationship with Christ that results from faith. As stated in Hebrews 11:26, Moses had respect unto the recompense of the reward, signifying that for him, the reward was not material wealth but rather the assurance of being in communion with God. Faith looks away from worldly gains, focusing solely on Christ, who is the believer's true reward. This understanding aligns with the idea that our confidence and boldness come through grace, not through personal merit or achievements, which will be fully realized in the life to come.
