2024-01-05 周五 有火发现试验各人的工程

经文:然而,若有人用金、银、宝石,木、草、禾秸,在这根基上建造,各人的工程必然显露,因为那日子要将它指明出来;它要在火中被揭露,这火要试验各人的工程是那一种的。(林前三12-13,另译)

认同的根据是主

你要注意,认同对基督徒是个大事。我们要有广阔的认同:我们认同的根据是主耶稣!我们认同的根据是主耶稣的救恩!我们认同的根据是重生,由主耶稣做生命!我们认同的根据,是我们一同来爱主。主把圣经给我们,我们尊重圣经给我们的帮助。

有火发现试验各人的工程

如果不小心,我们对基督没有认定,对基督的享受不多,没有为着赢得基督而有的奖赏,没有经历全备的灵的供应而有的活出,那你做礼拜、过圣诞了,结果怎样呢?用保罗的话说:「各人的工程必然显露,因为那日子要将它表明出来,有火发现……」用火发现,并不烧死你,但所有不是从神来的都会烧掉。最好的审判就是这个火,这个烧,有火发现。我讲错一句话不算什么。我做错一件事不算什么,我有没有赢得基督,这才算;我有没有得着神的奖赏,这才算。我希望那个时候,我从火里经过,好多东西可以经过火留下来。恐怕我们做了很多,结果都烧不见了。用火烧一烧,烧过了我的工程还在,就得奖赏了。

愿我所有工作生活,那日都能耐火

犹太人他们入了教,没有律法的真实。今天就对宗教组织来说,入了他的团体,却没有向基督的认定。因为宗教最可怕的就是它贿赂你——你聚会了,感谢主;奉献了,感谢主!有没有追求?有,我有追求小组。根据这些,我也很爱主了,也很服侍了,也很摆上了,也很照顾圣徒了,也很为主教会了,也会祝福聚会了,也会让教会扩增啊……但是主就说了:我要真正审判你。所有你的生活工作,要像倪弟兄讲的:愿我所有生活工作,那日都能耐火。他懂有一天火要来,我们大家都从火里进入,这就是审判。所以我们要很谨慎,愿我所有生活和工作,那日都能耐火,这样你在神面前有价值了。

Fire Reveals and Proves Each Man’s Work – 1 Cor. 3:12-13

The Basis of Identification Is the Lord

You have to note that identification is a big deal for Christians. We must have a broad identity: the basis of our identity is the Lord Jesus! The basis for our identification is the salvation of the Lord Jesus! The basis of our identity is rebirth, with the Lord Jesus as our life! The basis of our identity is that we love the Lord together. The Lord gives us the Bible, and we respect the help the Bible provides us.

If we are not careful that we do not recognize Christ, neither enjoy much of Christ, nor have the reward for winning Christ, and do not live out the full supply of the Spirit, then you will go to church and celebrate Christmas. What is the result then? In the words of Paul, “The work of each will become manifest, for the day will declare it, because it is revealed by fire…” Revealing by fire will not burn you, but anything that is not from God will be burned. The best judgment is this fire, a burning revealed by fire. It doesn’t count if I said something wrong or made a mistake. It only counts if I won Christ or if I received God’s reward. I hope that at that time, when I pass through the fire, many things can be left behind. I’m so concerned that we have done so much that they are all burned out. In case my work is still there after the burning, I will be rewarded by the Lord.

May All My Work and Life Be Fire-Proved That Day

The Jews have become religious and do not have the reality of the law. Today, as far as religious organizations are concerned, they have joined their group but have not identified themselves with Christ. Because the most terrifying thing about religion is that it bribes you – if you have a gathering, thank the Lord! If you make a donation, thank the Lord! Are you pursuing the Lord? Yes, I have pursuit groups. Based on this, I love the Lord very much and serve him a lot, take care of the saints and for the Lord’s church, know how to bless the gatherings and increase the congregation… But the Lord said, I will truly judge you! All your life and work must be like what Brother Nee said: may all my life and work be able to withstand the fire that day. He understood that one day fire will come and we will all enter into the fire. This is the judgment. Therefore, we must be very cautious, and hope that all my life and work will be able to withstand fire that day, so that you will be valuable before God.
