“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1 Corinthians 3:11-13 KJV
The foundation of our salvation is Jesus Christ. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. So first the foundation, and then the ordained good works in Christ Jesus. If we are doing good works which we think are good based upon our effort, it won’t stand the test of fire. Ministries and churches that are based on human effort, ego, money, etc. are not going to stand the trial by fire. The motives and deep intents of the heart will be brought into the open. Unless the Holy Spirit is leading our ministry, we won’t bear fruit. Such a ministry will be fruitful for the kingdom of God. Let’s reveal the inner motives of our hearts to God, so that our works have results and we shine in the fire of affliction with the glory of God like Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego!
