What does the Bible say about God's rewards?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God rewards both fools and transgressors, demonstrating His sovereignty in justice and mercy.

Proverbs 26:10 states, 'The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool and rewardeth transgressors.' This passage reveals that God, the sovereign creator, has the authority to dispense rewards based on His perfect justice. The term 'rewardeth' indicates that God pays wages to individuals based on their actions and beliefs. While the fool represents those who rely on their own merits, the transgressor signifies individuals merely passing through life, often with their sin already dealt with by Christ. Thus, understanding God's rewards involves recognizing His mercy towards His people and the justice due to those who reject Him.
