We are saved to do God's WORK?

*Please note all words in brackets[ ] with italics  are added for explanation & educational purposes only*

1Corinthians 3:12-15

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

Every 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.

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

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

The Work of GOD is found exactly 6times in Bible[as in 6DAYs]

THE WORK OF GOD is to BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST!

"Jesus answered and said unto them,

This is the work of God,

that ye[you.plural] believe on Him[JESUS CHRIST] whom He hath sent."

John 6:29 

"For meat destroy not the work of God.

All things indeed are pure;

but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence."

Romans 14:20 

"And the tables[Old LAW] were[past tense] the work of God,

and the writing was the writing of God,

graven upon the tables."

Exodus 32:16

"And all men shall fear,

and shall declare the work of God;

for they shall wisely consider of His doing."

Psalm 64:9

"Consider the work of God:

for who can make that straight,

which He hath made crooked?"

Ecclesiastes 7:13

"Then I beheld all the work of God,

that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun:

because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further;

though a wise man think to know it,

yet shall he not be able to find it. "

Ecclesiastes 8:17 

----------------

"And the LORD God said,
It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him." Genesis 2:18

Since 1st Woman was created an HELP MEET for 1st MAN...
so the 2nd Woman [CH.U.R.CH] was new creature to HELP2nd MAN [JESUS]?

"Verily, verily, I[Jesus] say unto you,
He[includes all believers] that believeth on me[Jesus],
the works that I do shall he[includes all believers] do also;
and greater works than these shall he[includes all believers] do;
because I go unto my Father." John 14:12

How can anyone do greater works than Jesus' Work who is Greatest, Infinite and Incomparable?
I believe there are few reasons why Jesus said the above...
1) Jesus is extremely HUMBLE and MEEK.
2) Jesus is refering to His Time is lesser compared to the SUM of ALL Who Believes and still on this World.
We are 2000years on earth whereas Jesus is going to Heaven.
3) Jesus is refering to Number as He is ONLY 1 PERSON, but ALL Who Believes are uncountable to continue HIS WORK.
4) Jesus is the Head of the Body and so the Body who is the CH.U.R.CH will HELP to DO to REACH out to the LOST before HE Returns.
5) ALL Who Believes is God the 3rd Person...the HOLYGHOST

Therefore ALL Who Believes is the 2nd WOMAN to HELP JESUS CHRIST to REACH & Preach to EACH MAN&WOMAN...

ALL Who Believes becomes the 2nd WOMAN an HELP MEET for JESUS CHRIST the 2nd MAN

"It is a faithful saying."
— 2 Tim 2:11

Paul has four of these "faithful sayings." The first occurs in 1 Tim 1:15, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." The next is in 1 Tim 4:6, "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation." The third is in 2 Tim 2:12, "It is a faithful saying—If we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him"; and the fourth is in Titus 3:3, "This is a faithful saying, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works." We may trace a connection between these faithful sayings. The first one lays the foundation of our eternal salvation in the free grace of God, as shown to us in the mission of the great Redeemer. The next affirms the double blessedness which we obtain through this salvation—the blessings of the upper and nether springs—of time and of eternity. The third shows one of the duties to which the chosen people are called; we are ordained to suffer for Christ with the promise that "if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him." The last sets forth the active form of Christian service, bidding us diligently to maintain good works. Thus we have the root of salvation in free grace; next, the privileges of that salvation in the life which now is, and in that which is to come; and we have also the two great branches of suffering with Christ and serving with Christ, loaded with the fruits of the Spirit. Treasure up these faithful sayings. Let them be the guides of our life, our comfort, and our instruction. The apostle of the Gentiles proved them to be faithful, they are faithful still, not one word shall fall to the ground; they are worthy of all acceptation, let us accept them now, and prove their faithfulness. Let these four faithful sayings be written on the four corners of My house.

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

Hebrews 10:15-17

written not with ink,

but with the Spirit of the living God;

not in tables of stone,

but in fleshy tables of the heart."

which is in the sight of God of great price."

JESUS said it is finished!

John:19:30: “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said,

It is finished:

and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.”

So what is finished?

I with my Cross...

It is the WORK of GOD!

Genesis:2:1: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.”

Genesis:6:16: “A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.”

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”

John:4:34: “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.”

It is the WORD of GOD!

It is the HOUSE of GOD!

1Kings:6:9,14,22,38: “So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar...So Solomon built the house, and finished it...And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold...And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it.  So was he seven years in building it.”

1Kings:9:25: “And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD.  So he finished the house.”

2Chronicles:24:14: “And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver.  And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.”

Ezra:6:14,15: “And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo.  And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.”

2Chronicles:31:1,7: “Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all.  Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities...In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.”

Zechariah:4:9: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you."

It is the HOUSE of The KING!

2Chronicles:7:11: “Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.”

It is the Transgression in Daniel’s 9:24

Daniel:9:24: “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.”

It is the Wall in Daniel’s 9:25-27

Nehemiah:6:15: “So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.”

It is our COURSE of WORK in FAITH

Hebrews:12:2: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

It is testimony of 2 witnesses

Revelation:11:7: “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.”

Another yet to be finished:

Mystery, number of antichrist’s kingdom

or sin

1Chronicles:27:24: “Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.”

Daniel:5:26: “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.”

Daniel:12:7: “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”

[inspired by Chinese Sermon of True Life Bible-Presbyterian Church on 19May2013] 

JESUS looketh NOT on OUTWARD APPEARANCE

[rich/poor] (see 1Samuel16:7,John7:24),

JESUS looketh on our HEARts

(see Luke16:15, 1Corinthians4:5),

ALL of our Living depended on JESUS

(see Romans12:1, Hebrews9:14).

the poor widows' two mites is ALL of her living sacrifice!

mites = i,t,mes

= ALL of myself crucified with my Lord living in me

"And Jesus sat over against the treasury,

and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury:

and many that were rich cast in much.

And there came a certain poor widow,

and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them,

Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in,

than all they which have cast into the treasury:

For all they did cast in of their abundance;

but she of her want did cast in all that she had,

even all her living."

Mark 12:41-44

"And He looked up,

and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

And He saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

And He said, Of a truth I say unto you,

that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God:

but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had."

"And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed,
and came unto Caesarea:
and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist,
which was one of the seven;
and abode with him."
