divine reward
Gift from above
Divine reward is a blessing or benefit believed to come from God or the gods in response to righteous conduct, faith, or obedience.
It may be granted in this life—prosperity, health, answered prayers—or in an afterlife: The faithful were promised divine reward in heaven.
The concept appears across religions, motivating moral behavior through expectation of cosmic justice.
