Should we expect rewards in heaven for our behavior in this life? If 1 Corinthians 3 does not teach that we will receive rewards in heaven, are there other passages which do teach that doctrine? Some claim that Scripture teaches believers will receive various crowns in heaven based on their works in this life. This podcast look at two key themes Scripture teaches, and two main mistakes we can make in studying these passages: 1 Corinthians 9:23-27 - The runner's crown James 1:12 - The crown of life 2 Timothy 4:7-8 - The crown of righteousness Matthew 25 - The Parable of the sheep and the goats; the Parable of the Talents Revelation 20:11-15 and 22:11-15 - The Great Judgment Luke 19 - The Parable of the Minas This series answers the question: "In what sense will believers be judged according to their works?"

1Corinthians 3:10-17 is frequently cited as one of the places that Scripture teaches believers will receive various rewards or crowns in heaven.

1Corinthians 3:1-4 have been at the center of a theological debate over whether we can have victory of sin in our lives now.  One side argues that Paul believes "carnal Christians" will be saved but not sanctified because they have not learned to appropriate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  The other side says there is no such thing as "carnal Christians."   I will attempt to you show you from context which side is right and which side is wrong.

Paul argues that the message he preaches is in fact wisdom because it is revelation from God. The gospel is not something we would figure out on our own. #witw #biblestudy #1corinthians Lecture notes: https://www.wednesdayintheword.com/1corinthians7/ Teacher: Krisan Marotta Series: 1 Corinthians For more information: WednesdayintheWord.com

As he discusses this issue of changing the gospel message to make it more attractive to the world, Paul says let’s consider what happened when I first preached the gospel to you in Corinth. Let’s consider your calling. What we can learn from it? Our boast is that we belong to God -- not because we were smart enough to find Him; but because He was merciful enough to find us.

Paul argues that those who live in rebellion to God will see the cross as foolishness. There’s no way to spin the gospel to change that. If you re-package the gospel to make it attractive to rebels, it is no longer the gospel.
