1 Cor 3:13-15 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. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire
Yes, our salvation is sure, but do we want to be ushered into heaven yet so as by fire? As His bride that can’t be an option for us. We cannot afford to stay locked up in our bedchamber while He knocks at our door, drawing us to come with Him into the harvest field. The days are growing short until that trumpet sounds and it’s critical for us to ask the hard questions and respond to His answers. And those answers are only going to be found by boldly entering the Holiest Place and submitting our spirit, soul and body to our bridegroom, allowing Him to fill these earthen vessels with His love, with Himself.
Solomon started out strong but lost his way, only to come to the end and realize what it all meant and what it means for the bride today as she waits and watches for her bridegroom… I am my beloveds and He is mine (Song 6:3). And with that understanding firmly set in our heart, Jesus’ Restcomes down to these two verses that challenge you to Wake Up And Rest
Eccl 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
