every reward or “crown” we receive based upon our good works will be thrown at our Saviors feet for His glory and not our own.

Revelation 4

I don’t think you truly grasp the idea of worship either here or in the hereafter.

From the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary on Revelation 4:

10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

10. fall-immediately. Greek, “shall fall down”: implying that this ascription of praise shall be repeated onward to eternity. So also, “shall worship . shall cast their crowns,” namely, in acknowledgment that all the merit of their crowns (not kingly diadems, but the crowns of conquerors) is due to Him
