"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself will be saved; yet so as by fire." 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
This is an absolutely awesome Truth, that will bring peace and rest to us that passes all understanding! Everything we do may not measure up, but so what! It doesn’t matter, it will be removed from us, and even if God must burn things out of us before we can enter Heaven, we will still have eternal life with Him, and we will be saved. God is either going to prune it out of us while we are on this earth, or He is going to burn it out of us before we get into Heaven! Either way the dead works are gone from us and through God’s power we will be free from them! How great is that? This is part of an abundant life, God will insure that we are clean, and nothing, I mean nothing, will ever stand in our way from being who God wants us to be!
God does not double talk, and every Word that He has spoken is Truth. “For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:10-11 God is not going to tell us to consider ourselves to be dead to sin, just like Jesus is dead to sin, and then tell us that we can fall away. Sin is dead for us, it has been destroyed for us and all of its abilities against us have been removed. Jesus has triumphed over it. Sin is what separates us from God; sin is what caused man to fall away in the first place, and sin and all of its powers have been destroyed for us. God tells us to consider ourselves dead to it, because we are dead to it! "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever." 1 Peter 1:23 How is it that someone who is born again from the very Seed of God, His Incorruptible Seed, could fall away? Can an apple become a pear? What we are born of, we are born of. The Seed that bore us cannot be corrupted, it cannot fall away, all of the abilities that we had to fall away from God have been destroyed for us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Because of Jesus our Good Shepherd, Who every lives to intercede for us so that we may be saved to the uttermost, we are eternally assured fellowship with our Father! We have life abundantly because of the power of our Head and no weapon that has been formed that will try to prevent it will ever prosper!
