MORNING MANNA 10-31-21
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
“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. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.”– 1 Cor. 3:11-14
The most wonderful day of your life is the day you trust Christ as your Lord and Savior. The results of that are amazing! When you receive Christ- – you become a new creature.– God becomes your Father.– Christ becomes your elder Brother.– The Holy Spirit becomes your Helper.– Heaven rejoices.– The Great Commission becomes your work.– The world becomes your mission field.And the list goes on and on!
If you are a Christian that is wonderful. The question is, “What kind of Christian will you be?”. I can tell you that you will never be perfect while on earth. But I can also tell you that you ought to be progressing in that direction all the days of your life. You ought to be busy about the Master’s business. So what kind of Christian will you be? What are you going to be doing?
This is the subject being addressed in our text. You are on the Foundation, but what will you build on it? Here’s some advice – Be a laborer rather than a loafer. God has given to every person their work to do and we have a limited amount of time to do it. As Jesus said, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” ( John 9:4).
Our text speaks for itself – don’t waste your life on things that won’t last. Get busy doing those things that please God and provide you with a reward in heaven. – HDS
