Wood Hay Stubble
Table of Contents
Wood hay stubble = some works survive Christ's evaluation; some burn - saved through fire, but worthless work is gone (1 Corinthians 3:12-15).
Gold, silver, precious stones last. Wood, hay, stubble burn. The builder may be saved yet so as through fire - still in, with loss. Judgment Seat is where the fire test happens; Loss of Reward names the outcome; this note names the materials. Treasure in Heaven aims the heart at what to store; wood hay stubble warns what won't survive the review. Heart Righteousness and By Their Fruits test motive and outcome before the fire. PKM mirror: Failure as Feedback - burned work signals what to build differently, not proof you were never saved.
Examples
- Wood-hay-stubble week and dread like I'm facing hell - saved through fire means some work burns; standing on Christ stays (Loss of Reward).
- Years of busy church work that mostly fed my ego - motive-tested at the judgment seat; worthless work burns, faithful work lasts.
- One visible heroic volunteer week masking empty years at home - Christ tests what it's built of, not the hype week.
- Burned work after a selfish season felt like proof I was never saved - feedback on what to build next, not revoked eternal life.
