Episode 45: What Rewards or "Wages" do you expect from God (Part 2 of 2)


Listen Later

In this episode we continue to look at rewards.  We start off examining a very misquoted and misunderstood passage with respect to rewards in 1 Corinthians chapter 3.  Many people are familiar with this passage and understand it as being they might lose their reward as a result of their works being burned up, but they will still save their souls as though through fire.  There is a gross misunderstanding in what is being discussed.  First, the "works" being discussed is the salvation of souls, the labor in the field or building of God; harvesting souls (field) or adding living stones (God's temple or building).  So the "work" being discussed are the souls of other people.  Thus it is very important to lay the proper foundation and build with proper materials.  Even though Paul was building with proper materials, others were not and were causing people to fall away.  Paul won't lose his salvation if his work (or other souls) are burned up because of someone else who came along after him and built on the soul with poor or false workmanship.  The individual will lose their soul along with the person who caused them to be destroyed by building falsely.  Yet you don't come away with this understanding by reading 2-3 verses.  You need to read much more.  We also discuss the crown the true believers will receive.Passages covered:  1 Corinthians 3:8-17; Colossians 3:23-25; Mathew 12:34-37, 16:23-27, 18:24-35, 21:41-43, 22:21; Luke 7:41-42; Romans 2:5-6, 13, 13:7-8; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15; 2 Timothy 4:7-8, 14-15; Revelation 18:4-8; Hebrews 2:7-9; James 1:1-3, 12; 1 Peter 5:4; Revelation 2:10, 3:11, 4:10, 14:14
