1 Corinthians 3:14 (KJV) Are You Building a Life That Will Burn Up-


1 Corinthians 3:14 (KJV)

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.


An abiding work. That’s the goal of every man. I read this morning that even Absalom built a pillar so something would outlive him. He had no children, and I imagine he knew his rebellion wasn’t going to end well (2 Samuel 18:18).


It must be especially true of the believer to desire an abiding work, because we have the promise of an eternally abiding life. I want my life to matter for far more than myself. I want to make a difference in eternity.


An abiding work.
Gold, silver, precious stones.
Something that will survive the fire.


But how?

Jesus said in Matthew 6:19–21 (KJV):

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


A heart that is set on heaven will be quick to spot the things that last in heaven.
