When you do something good or awesome for somebody (good works) and take no credit for it because you are doing it for God and His glory, you receive your 'reward' in the afterlife. Jesus endured the cross for the 'joy set before Him'. Same thing, kinda..

Who gets the best in Heaven?

Look up Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, and Romans 10:13. They show you how you can go to heaven. But in heaven, your rewards will be based on what you have done for Christ here on earth. You may have heard: "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven". This means that good deeds that you do here on earth, will produce rewards in heaven. Everyone will receive a mansion and a crown, but you will receive more, the more you do for Christ here. All heaven will be paved with streets of gold, and walls of pure jasper, there will be no crying. It will be an awesome place for everyone.
