The "what did you build" test
In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul describes himself as having laid a spiritual foundation for the Corinthian believers to build on. Then he makes this statement (1 Cor 3:12-15 NLT):
Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
So the next test I see that Jesus challenges the church with is:
- What is your foundation?
- What are you building on it?
- Will it last when it is tested?
