How are you saved? By faith.  Grace through faith, to be technical. By God's grace a gift through your believing in him.  You trust him, he graciously and freely gives you salvation.  You don't earn it. But now that you're saved, you are saved in order that you can do good works, you're not saved by works, and you're saved for good works. Do you understand the difference? It says in Ephesians 2:4 "We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works". And the bible over and over and over and over brings up this thing that we're going to be judged by Christ for what we do, not for salvation but for rewards.

Jesus said in revelation to one of the seven churches, "Behold I am coming and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his works". Jesus gave a parable, same principle, "You've been faithful in these small matters, I'll make you a ruler over ten cities, enter into the joy of your Lord and the joy of serving him." And I believe, strongly based upon all of the balance in the scripture that you get to heaven by God's free gift, but your position in heaven, moreover and to be more exact, your position in the Kingdom age, the millennial Kingdom, your ruling and reigning with Christ will depend upon your faithfulness here. So understand folks, that the whole purpose isn't that you get saved and that go to heaven. We sort of make that the big thing. "Oh great, they're saved, they're going to heaven," that's good. That's paramount. That's numero uno. But if that was God's sole purpose, the moment you receive Christ, you kill over and die, why risk it? "They received Christ, kill them now, get them to heaven." "Made it." But there's more to it. You are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, so you and I have a lifetime, how many days or years or months God gives us to think about, "How can I use my time in order to add to my bank account in glory?"

Didn't Jesus say "Don't store up for yourselves' treasures on earth," but listen, "Store up for yourself treasures in heaven where moth cannot corrupt or thieves cannot break in and steal".
