heavenly rewards
Afterlife's promised blessings
Heavenly rewards are the blessings, honors, or treasures believers expect to receive in the afterlife as recognition for faithful living.
The concept appears across religious traditions—Christians speak of storing up treasures in heaven, while other faiths promise paradise or spiritual elevation.
The phrase sometimes appears ironically for someone who has died: He's gone to collect his heavenly rewards.
