-1Corinthians 3:15.What does this scripture mean?

In reading the Bible or anything for that matter, read the context, so you can see the intent of the writer and understand what is the overview he is writing about.

If a spiritual individual's works are not loving, kind, helpful, compassionate, being of humility toward others, forgiving towards others, etc., and a sincere spiritual individual's works will be this way if they are hot for God; but if they are not that way, but instead these, then he or she is just 'spinning their wheels', going nowhere near any hope of a reward, wasting his time here on Earth engaged with things of the self, which take you more or less happily toward the end of your time here.

Being like this usually means an eventual loss of these things as one goes through the fires of life.

He himself will be saved, but obviously having not qualified for a reward, he having regarded this present evil world and the things in it as more important that the real world to come.

Questions about scriptures

The."yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me".part of the verse, is talking about how Paul felt about things.

Like us today, some things we just want to avoid. Paul seeing this in himself also saw together with it, a burning desire present, a burning desire which enabled him to have long term vision and to press on toward a better day. This was his hope. And he commented about what it would be like:.1Corinthians 2:9.

The spirit life as a member of the God family that Emmanuel the Christ now enjoys so far eclipses this life that there really is not comparison. That's when the real living will start:.1Corinthians 15:23.

Note also how this verse ties in with Ephesians 2:10. See how we are individual expressions of God.

Comprised with.Barnes New Testament Notes: He first appeared as the Man of sorrows.(Isaiah 53:3).to make atonement for sin, His way first being prepared by the great John the Baptist as he was called.

He has returned already and is setting up the Kingdom of God.(where?), the kingdom which is of higher consciousness, higher than what?

Comprised from Scofield Reference Bible Notes:."The Hebrew and Greek words for salvation imply the ideas of deliverance, safety, preservation, healing and soundness.

"Salvation is the great inclusive word of the Gospel, gathering into itself all the redemptive acts and processes: as justification, redemption, grace, propitiation, imputation, forgiveness, sanctification and glorification.

"Salvation is in two tenses:.1) The believer has been saved from the guilt and penalty of sin before the universe was even formed.(2Timothy 1:9; Luke 7:50; 1Corinthians 1:18; 2Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:5,8).and is safe and...
