Walking With The Master Builder on Psalms 10 - 3 years ago
1 Corinthians 3
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, Wood, Hay, Stubble.
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day (Bema Seat) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide (doesn't burn up) which he hath built on, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved;
2 Corinthians 5:10-11
For we must all appear before the Bema judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Revelation 3:11-12
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown. 12 The one who conquers I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God that comes down out of heaven, and my new name as well.
COMMENT:
We should serve the Lord out of love and for God's glory, and understanding the nature of rewards will help us do that. God gives us salvation. It is a gift through faith, but He rewards us for good works. God graciously supplies the means by which we may serve Him. He works in us both to WILL and to DO, as we willingly receive His grace, but the decision to serve, and the diligence used in doing so, are our responsibility and our contribution and God sees this as rewardable.
