Subject: WHO pays the wage? |
Bible Note: 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 "If any man builds on this foundation using wood, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be reveled with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. if it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping thorugh the flames." I wonder if this passage could clear up the confusion for us. There's salvation, which is once and for all through Jesus Christ. And then there is the lifetime of works, for which we are given rewards separate to our salvation, because the man in the passage was still saved, although saved with not much to show for it, like a man saved from a burning building. However the good workers got rewards, again seperate from their salvation. Now I could be understanding this passage entirely wrong. I pray that the original meaning is revealed to us through the Holy Spirit on the subject. God bless Jo |
