rewards concerning works of the Christian

from comment 5 found here http://www.calledtocommunion.com/2009/10/a-reply-from-a-romery-person/

God has prepared good works for us, and when we do these works in agape, they are truly efficacious for eternity. That is, they truly contribute to what will be for the rest of eternity. God has given us the gift of letting us participate in His divine activity. Everything we do in agape, even giving a cup of cold water to the least of these, in His Name, will not go unrewarded. I’ve written more about that in a post titled “The Gospel and the Meaning of Life.” Our actions done in agape change us, by meriting further grace. If we are faithful with little, we are given more. He who has, more will be given to him. Also, our actions done in agape contribute to our eternal reward. This reward is not something extrinsic; it is our degree of participation in God Himself, our greater union with God Himself. There is no greater reward than God Himself.
