Col 1:12 God is at work producing mature sons who can step in and take on the amazing calling and destiny He has waiting for those who love Him. These differences are spoken of in the Bible in terms of rank, rulership, reward, recognition, privilege, and intimacy.

2. Rulership:
Rev 3:21
3. Reward: Rewards are associated with work and faithful service. For the church age believer, part of the inheritance is a birthright (child), and part of the inheritance is in the category of reward (mature son).

“God, in the New Testament Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and for the faithful service of the saved, rewards.” Salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift, while rewards are earned by works.
