Does that really require a prophesy to know?
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Matthew 16:1-4

Grace means unmerited favor you child of the devil. You are destitute of grace and will be rewarded for your error.

The Pharisees would not obey and repent of their sins, they only spoke of what they did not do wrong.
We have to obey God. We have to admit we are sinners and repent of those sins.

Grace means you do not have to work at making yourself clean by doing the ceremonial/purification works of the old law.
Jesus' blood cleans us by our faith that it does.
We do not have to get circumcised, adhere to a special diet, do various external washings, observe special days, and sacrifice animals; BUT WE STILL HAVE TO OBEY GOD.

The reward is an inheritance.
Colossians 3:24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
The reward is the promise of the inheritance of eternal life.
Hebrews 9:15
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
In case you still are not sure the inheritance is eternal life, which is our reward, read and study these scriptures, there should be no more doubt after reading them.
Matthew 19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
Luke 10:25[ The Parable of the Good Samaritan ] On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
The REWARD is the PROMISE, of an INHERITANCE, and the INHERITANCE is ETERNAL LIFE.

2 John 1:8 Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.
What a powerful scripture showing that we are to work by obeying Jesus, and that those works save us for when we are done in this world, for our works follow us!

Revelation 14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."
When was the last time
you received any praise from God?
You cannot be conformed to the image of God.
There is only 1 way for you to be the image of God.
And I am not going to reveal that to you.
For starters, we could complain about you to the Woodshed?
