Spiritual reward
Receiving
the free gift of eternal life, and being saved is not the ultimatum, in
addition to these rewards will be rendered to each one according to how we
learn to seek, glory, honor and immortality? (Romans 2:7).
It
is therefore imperative that we at least have the basic knowledge and
understanding on how we are to seek and attain these three things which are not
inclusive with the free gifts of salvation and eternal life that were bestowed
upon us by the grace of God for which no one can boast.

Seeking glory
How
are we to seek glory? We are to seek glory by imitating the life of Jesus
Christ as we have been duly instructed saying; “But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the
same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2
Corinthians 3:18).
It
is essential to note that there are different degrees of glory, the same way
that, there is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon,
and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory
(and there are millions of stars). So also is the resurrection of the dead. The
body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in
dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:41-44)
And
so, the glorification of our body will depend on how much of the nature of
Jesus Christ that has been formed in us.
