Subject: What is the "reward" ? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, yes indeed faith without works is dead but who does the work? Is it self-effort or Christ? In my flesh or by the Spirit? As you said, the Lord is the Judge, He alone knows the intent and motivation of the heart and hence the "work" - for only what is built on the solid foundation of Christ will stand the test of the Refiner's fire - again, as Jesus said, apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:5 My question is this: is it possible that Christ is at work in those who are doing things "in His name," even though they don't follow biblical doctrine? mommapbs |
