What are the five categories of blessing in time and the four categories of reward in eternity?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 5–5: The Prospect—The Rapture

Blessings in time consist of five categories: spiritual blessing, promotion, blessing by association, historical impact, and dying grace. Rewards in eternity are divided into four categories: praise, rank and authority, glory, and crowns. These crowns include the crown of righteousness for faithfulness to the Lord, the crown of joy for faithfulness in witnessing, the crown of glory for faithfulness in ministry, the crown of life for faithfulness in testing, and the incorruptible crown for self-discipline in the spiritual life.

Also asked: What are the categories of rewards and blessings described in the Bible for believers who faithfully follow the Lord? · What are the categories of blessings that Christians receive during their lifetime and the types of rewards they can expect in heaven? · Can you list the different kinds of blessings people experience on earth and the kinds of rewards that will be given to believers in eternity?
