Hi Mel,
Amen! Great Scriptures....
Jesus Christ the only foundation.....
Cor.3:11 - For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Verse 12 -- Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Verse 13 --The day, is the day of the judgment seat of Christ...Fire is figurative for judgment, more specifically, the absolutely righteous judgment of God. Fire is used her to denote, not enlightening power, but consuming power. Of the six types of material mentioned, three are combustible and three are incombustible..See also, Deut.4:24; Mal. 3:2; 2Thes.1:8; Heb.12:19.
Verse 14 --Reward, wages of course, even the "wages" mentioned here are entirely a gift of grace..See, Cor.9:17; 2John 8; Rev. 11:18).
Verse 15 --Saved: Such a one does not suffer the loss of his salvation, but the loss of reward. The stress in this entire passage is not on a person's relationship to Christ, but on service to Christ.
***************************************
Jude 1:22-23 -- An important factor in keeping one's own faith active and vibrant is exercising it serving others. Even where there is danger or extreme immorality involved, God calls on believers to meditate His love for the fallen and share the gospel with the lost. (Exhortations to christians)
God bless you brother....
In His Love,
Lois

Grateful for What the Lord Gives me, (but not often enough)
