It Will be Revealed by Fire

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)

In the name of Him who was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings. Matthew 28:18 (NKJV)

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (NKJV)

Let me empathize, “If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures” is referring to those building on what Jesus accomplished in the first century.  For those that are well aware of what Jesus accomplished, they “will” not “receive a reward” for those things they’ve either added to, or subtracted from, the [Bible].  Their “work is burned.”

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV)

After reading John 20:17 who would you say “will receive a reward” for telling others that Jesus’ God and Father and their God and Father are one and the same?  The born again believer in Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” that rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, or the one that is blind to the fact that the Anthanasian Creed has absolutely nothing to do with the salvation of one’s soul?

As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I say both of these are saved. There is “no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”  The Anthanasian Creed, “because it will be revealed by fire,” adds on to God’s plan of salvation.

God bless.
