Christ will reward His people with varying duties and responsibilities when He returns. Will these differences be significant? Yes and no! In themselves, yes; one reward will be quite different from another. But compared with the fate of the lost – compared with the hell that would have been ours, if Christ had not redeemed us – they will be relatively small. Our common experience of salvation will tower over all the differences left between us!

Tom Wells (1933–2019) war ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Evangelist und Buchautor der reformierten Baptisten, der fast drei Jahrzehnte lang eine Gemeinde in Ohio leitete. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch seine theozentrische Missionslehre sowie als einflussreicher Mitgestalter der sogenannten Neubund-Theologie. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet sein Werk in Form seelsorgerlicher und bibelzentrierter Auslegungen über Gottes Wesen, Gnade und das geistliche Leben.
