1Corinthians 3:13-15 - “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.”

God offers salvation to the lost. God offers rewards for the faithful service of the saved. Salvation is a free gift, but rewards are earned by works. Salvation is apresent possession, but rewards are a future attainment given at the Rapture.

Salvation: John 4:10; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.

Works rewards: Matthew 10:42; Luke 19:17; 1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Revelation 2:10 & 22:12.

Salvation a present possession: Luke 7:50; John 3:36 & 5:24 & 6:47.

Reward are future attainments at the rapture: 2 Timothy 4:8; Revelation 22:12.

A crucial post for believers following Jesus through His earthly prophetic Gospel of the Kingdom instructions. Jesus Christ saved our apostle Paul in Acts 9 on the road to Damascus for a reason. God’s plan including the mystery hidden from the beginning & given only to the apostle Paul for the church the Body of Christ Ephesians 3:9 KJB 😳

Are we supposed to be following Peter and the 12 apostles of the nation of Israel’s instructions today or should we learn from them by studying scripture first? Are our instructions in MMLJ or are we to simply learn from what Jesus Christ was teaching to the house of Israel under the law in the flesh?? 🤔

Understanding our salvation, position in Christ & God’s eternal plan for us should be important as believers & Ambassadors of Christ.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!

I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to “fix” the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don’t give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty-One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.”

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I’ve ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let’s just say I didn’t have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they’ve never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn’t see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don’t know what it’s like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.”
