"Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials - gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgement day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will recieve a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames." 1 Corinthians 3:12-15
What kind of building (spiritual, bringing people to God, doing Godly things, living the right life, etc) am I building to present to Jesus when He comes back for me? Will he put my "buildings" to flame and they come out even more beautiful that when they started and He say "Well done My good & faithful servant?" or will it all be ash on the ground as He sadly shakes His head and ushers me in.
It may be pretty (gold, jewels, etc) but will it stand the true test?
I may be made hastily, just so you have something to show Him (hay) again, will it stand the true test?
God, help my actions, testimonies, and "buildings" not only be pretty to look at, but sustainable in the testing fires. I don't want to get by by the skin of my teeth.
