Is it possible to use gold, silver, precious jewels, wood, hay and straw when building on the foundation of Jesus Christ?
I believe I have used all of these through my years of building. I've had works already tested by fire. What about you? Some passed the test and others did not.
Jude says, "Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear–hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." Jude verse 22 NIV
verse 17 in Jude: "But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18: They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." 19: These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
verse 20: But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Pray in the Holy Spirit and keep yourselves in God's love. This is building with gold, silver and precious jewels. You will sparkle like a diamond and be a "shining star>"
Philippians 2:14-16 NIV
.......shine like the stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.... Phil. 2:15
