Merit (Christianity)

Merit is something that Christians believe in. Merit is when someone does something good, like helping someone else, and then gets a reward from God. The reward from God is God's blessing. An example might be when someone gives money to a charity, God will give that person a blessing, like a good job or a healthy family. God will also reward people in Heaven when they die if they lived a life of good deeds. Merit can also be seen as doing something for God and being rewarded for it in Heaven.
