Final Exam Metaphor For Works
- Charles Stanley explains the final exam metaphor: believers build on Christ's foundation with works that are tested by fire at judgment.
- Gold, silver, and precious stones represent enduring, Spirit-led actions that survive the test and earn rewards.
Obey The Spirit To Build Rewardable Habits
- Do cultivate godly habits by obeying the Spirit so routine acts of kindness and obedience become rewards-building work.
- Stanley says the Spirit prompts you to see needs, give help, and speak of Christ, producing rewardable actions.
Two Types Of Works Only Rewards Differ
- Actions fall into two categories: worthy (rewarded) or worthless (lose reward), regardless of salvation status.
- Stanley emphasizes church attendance and active service as evidence distinguishing worthy from worthless living.
