Wrong DBT. "Reward "would be earning your acceptance with God due to YOUR good works. The only thing God owes you or can reward you with is punishment for your sins. Since His Son was nearly beaten to death in extreme torture, then nailed with spikes to suffer the torments of everyone's sins, He was rewarded with the death we deserve. He offers not only a full pardon, but forgiveness. Free for the asking. Only a fool would turn that down.
Pascals Wager is flawed for a number of reasons. Morally, Ethically, what it says about the character of God, etc...
What if someone is fallable, incapable of good works, exploitative, selfish, greedy, yet has great faith in Jesus?
Or someone who has no 'faith in Jesus' yet is a great humanitarian, engaged in helping those in need and is doing their best to build a better society?
The former is saved while the latter burns in hell?
Exactly right. Works don’t save anyone, only believing in Jesus Christ sacrifice for your sins and resurrection will save you.
I'm glad that you understand God's grace LBP! Who led you to the Lord? Sunday school teacher?
My mom the Sunday school teacher. 😉
That's extra awesome when it's your own parent who has that honor.
