Rewards for Christians are based on the quality (rather than quantity) of the work of those who believe in Him (born again followers of Jesus Christ). The work wrought that adds-up to wood, hay and stubble will be destroyed and those whose works endue the testing fire shall receive a reward. The foundational work of a Christian is tested; only the intrinsically worthy and valuable works judged as being worthy are kept
Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 NKJV
Note that Christians are not judged on the basis of sin. All people have been judged and found worthy of death. Jesus Christ the Messiah has taken the punishment of sin upon himself, and for all those that believe this has no fear of death. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. (1 John 2:2 NKJV).
What guidance is there in Scripture of what is quality works for God? The following (slightly edited) list came from Gabe Morris’ sermon on 9 August 2015 (Sugar Land Bible Church) which sums up some of the things believers could be judged.
