Trial By Fire

All that we think, say, and do will be judged on that final day. As Christians we will be judged to see what we did to give God glory.

Our works will be like a building upon the foundation of our belief in Jesus The Christ.

Paul taught them and us about Jesus and said, "... I have laid the foundation ..."

"... But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For no other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

"Now if any man build upon the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.

"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." 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

All of our works will be either "gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble". The gold, silver and precious stones will be things that give God glory and they will pass through the fire with us and result in a reward in heaven for us. However, all that is wood , hay and stubble will be lost, burnt up in the fire, and shall amount to nothing.

Will you have any rewards in heaven? Only what you do for Christ will last.
