Fight the good fight
Once we are saved, we are called to fight the good fight, train ourselves as athletes and run the race hard to the very end. Each man (and women) is born to die and face judgment, of which we will answer for our life and works upon this earth.
If any man builds on this foundation (Jesus) using gold, 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 revealed 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 (1Cor 3:12ff)
I want to build with gold, silver, rubies and diamonds, not hay and straw.
Paul also says “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them-yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me”
Praise God, because He will give us the grace to do it.
