"For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done." - Matthew 16:27
Here’s what the Bible says about where salvation comes from...in a nutshell, Jesus did all the work, not us...
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2: 8-9 (NIV)
For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:20 (RSV)
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
Perhaps I should have been clearer. Heaven itself is not a reward for obedience. There is a Judgement for believers that will reward them in Heaven for what they did with their knowledge of Christ. What will that reward be? I don’t know.
I think it's pretty clear.
