Christianity is simply The Father (God) and His Family (believers)

When we are growing up, our parent will assign us some domestic chores as they go out for their daily business.

On coming back, some will finish their assignment, some may not finish while some may not attempt doing theirs.

So our parents will 'beat up' the one who refused to do theirs and will praise the ones who did theirs.

Sometimes, they may buy gift for the obidient ones or give them a double ration of food or any gift items but give little to the ones who did not obey or do their assignment.

Irrespective of the fact that they (the children) were not equally rewarded but all of them remains children in the house or family members.

So it is in the family of God. We are all born into the family the moment we believed the gospel but we will not be equally rewarded on the judgement seat of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:15

There is a gift which is salvation Ephesians 2:8-9. Which is a free gift devoid of works.

And there is a reward which is as a result of your works. This works here is the produce of your faith in Christ. James2:18. Your obidience to God's word, your conformity to His word, your love for the brethren. Your stewardship report. 1 Corinthians 3:15

May God give us more understanding.

Understanding the concepts of salvation.
