To “reward” someone is to give the person something they deserve. + +A reward can be a good thing. This happens when a reward is given to someone because the person did something well. A good reward can also be given to someone because the person obeyed God (see: Isaiah 40:10; Jeremiah 17:10; Matthew 5:12; 6:4; 10:41-42; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15; Revelation 22:12). + +Sometimes a reward can be a negative thing. This happens when a punishment is given to someone because the person did something wrong. That is, someone is punished because they sinned (see: Job 15:31). + +See: Sin; Punish (Punishment); Works (Works of the Law); Day of Judgment
