Our works, our being will be judge by fire at the time of our deaths and what is not pure, will be burned away.....making us pure
1 Corinthians 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
WHEN did He say He was coming, and to whom was He speaking? Do you believe what He said to His disciples about returning within a generation? Do you think it's possible we've misunderstood the nature of His coming, or would you rather think that He's delayed His promise for 1000's of years? Ask yourself, where does Christ reside? Is He living in the hearts of believers around the world? Then why are we waiting for Him to return if He's already here? His Kingdom is spiritual, not physical or tangible. He said it was not 'of this world.'
Romans 12:3-5
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
