    Also consider the following Scripture:

    Luke 17:1-10, KJV
    1. Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
    2. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
    3. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
    4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
    5. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
    6. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
    7. But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
    8. And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
    9. Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
    10. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.


    Not much room left for rewards is there, particularly in light of Verse 10? Any rewards we receive for being obedient disciples of Jesus Christ will be spiritual rewards during our lifetime!

    Yep. "Joint heir" is not the same thing as "equal inheritance".
