The Law of Rewards: Giving What You Can’t Keep to Gain What You Can’t Lose 

by Randy Alcorn

Most people avoid answering one fundamental question: What motivates you? Longing for approval, wealth, or reward isn’t shameful. God built us that way on purpose.

Drawing mostly from his earlier book Money, Possessions, and Eternity, Alcorn makes the case that our behavior on earth, not our salvation, determines the rewards we’ll receive in heaven.

• Faith determines our destination, behavior determines our rewards
• God’s “incentive system” as an intentional design, not a flaw
• Giving as gaining, not losing
• Serving God from love, not solely for the reward itself

Shifting perspective about giving can change a believer’s mindset from a reluctant duty into a joyful, eternity-minded investment. The Law of Rewards is published in association with Generous Giving, Inc., a ministry of The Maclellan Foundation.
