1 Corinthians 3:10,13 AMP According to the [remarkable] grace of God which was given to me [to prepare me for my task], like a skillful master builder I laid a foundation, and now another is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it……each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work.

We have seen that there are 2 main kinds of righteousness: The Righteousness Of God, and The Righteousnesses Of The Saints. The 1st one is the free gift of God obtained by faith in Jesus alone; but the 2nd one is by your own works done in the faith after you believed.

Concerning your Good Works, there are 3 main dimensions of them:

There is the WHAT=SCOPE/KIND of work you do. And each kind has its own rewards.

There is the HOW=QUALITY of work you do.

Then there is the WHY=REASON/MOTIVE for the work you do.

Each one of these dimensions will be used to determine the WORTH of  Eternal Benefit we will receive at the end. The CHARACTER and QUALITY and WORTH of your works will determine your GLORY in eternity.  So you see, Dear One, there is work to be done – Gird your loins and buckle your seat belt for WORK IN CHRIST.

All the GRACE and ENDOWMENT you received in Christ was to EQUIP you to do GOOD WORKS in Christ; so that you will extend the reign and influence of the kingdom of God in your world. Hallelujah! ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE? Glory to God!
