Build on Christ

How do you build on Christ?

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

By the grace God has given me,  I laid a foundation  as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.   For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.    If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,   their work will be shown for what it is,  because the Day  will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.  
If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.    If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

2 Corinthians 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us  for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Romans 14:10

You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt?  For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Third Mystery: Parable of the Mustard Seed

Mark 4:30

Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,  or what parable shall we use to describe it?

Luke 13:18

Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God  like?  What shall I compare it to?

Thought 

Sin has remained unchanged, although man has done his best to alter it.  We’ve tried to dress it up with other names.  We’ve put new labels on the same old bottle of poison.  We’ve tried to whitewash the old barn and pretend it was another building.  We’ve tried calling sin “errors” or “mistakes” or “poor judgment” but sin itself has stayed the same.  No matter how we try to salve our conscience, we’ve known all along that men are still sinners and the results of sin are still disease, disappointment, disillusionment, despair and death. - Billy Graham
