OUR FATHER WHO REWARDS THE DILIGENT

1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 14 says this;

If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.

The Apostle Paul, writing to the church at Corinth, exorted them to build on the foundation which is Jesus Christ.

The work that they did to build on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay or straw, would be revealed by fire and that fire would test the quality of each person's work. 

The quality of work would then be the basis of each individual's reward.

If the work was of poor quality and thus flammable, it would burn up and the doer of those works would have no reward even though they themselves would be saved.

If the workmanship was of high quality and thus survived the test of fire, the workman would receive his commensurate reward.

May our work in the kingdom of God be directed by the Lord and be work of eternal quality.

Amen.
