1 Corinthians 3:13-15 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
After you pass the first final paper (test of life), then you can now be tested on your works (2nd paper). This becomes your personal building in Christ.
The foundation on which we are all building is Jesus Christ. However, some are building with gold, silver, and precious stones. Others are building with wood, straw and hay(v 11,12). Understand very well that, Whatever you are building (YOUR WORKS) is not what saves you. Some people’s works will be burnt down completely at the end, yet still they will be saved and enter heaven.
Your BELIEF IN JESUS gets you salvation; your GOOD WORKS gets you eternal rewards or Glory.
This is the ‘Dissapproval Of Works’. It affects your REWARDS , APPEARANCE and PLACEMENT in the eternal kingdom of God.
A question we must all answer at the end of the age is: After you received Christ, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM? What GOOD WORKS have you done in Christ? Selah!
May this week be a FRUIT BEARING one for you in Jesus name. Amen!
GRACEFUL MORNING
