Why Sola Fide Won't Save Your Butt!!!

Then how do our works follow us? See that great city on the hill.
The foundation is layed with the how many precious stones?
We are all brick layers

Response: I think we are the bricks.

Paul uses two analogies one that plants in the ground for a fruit harvest and another of masterbuilders which build temples.

1 Corinthians 3

5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13Every 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.

14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I'm with you brother. We are building on the temple.

Right, and by my works I hope to lay others

Beckrl, this would be the perfect place for a joke. But...I think I will refrain.
