verse of the day

Friday 8 October 2021

We will see. ( 1 Corinthians 13 )

 In 1 Corinthians 3 v 10 - 17, the apostle Paul  writes about judgement day ,and how it affects the believer,  he reminds them , as one writer says,that the foundation that believer stands on is Jesus Christ,His work saves and that alone.Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe.The scriptures clearly teaches,that we are not saved by our works,no matter how wonderful they are, CP  Ephesians 2 v 8 - 9. The passage in 1 Corinthians 3 deals with the rewards for the service we have rendered Christ, our works will entered be burnt up as rubbish or they will remain, and God will honour and reward us.As we move into 1 Cor, 4, we are told ,that we are not to make judgements before the time, on people or their service,only Christ is qualified to do that, one writer puts it like this.'When he comes, he will bring out in the open and place in evidence all kinds of things we never dreamed of- inner motives,and purposes and prayers. Only then will anyone of us will get to hear the''Well done! ''of God'

                                                        'Teach me, my God and King,

                                                         In all things Thee to see;

                                                        And what I do in anything,

                                                        To do it as for Thee.
