1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 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.

This first verse shows us the difference in what we use to build our foundation on. The first being a symbol of gold,s silver, and precious stones which stands for ones who are strong in faith and when it is tried by fire them become even stronger, just as the precious minerals become purer in fire. Then we have those that are symbolized by wood, hay, and stubble. This is like the ones who are weak in their faith and when they are tried by fire it weakens or destroys them. It does not mean necessarily that they lose their salvation but it could cause them doubt it. when fire is applied to the materials mentioned we know they are burned up completely. we will all be tried by the fire of God’s discerning judgement so let us strive to be as strong in our faith as possible when that day comes. Will we be one of three that are combustible or of three that are incombustible?
