    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    @Episkopos @VictoryinJesus how can we destroy a passage of scripture so bad. That we can not comprehend what it says. 1 cor 3: For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    who said paul was saved by fire? I think we can look at pauls life and know he will not be left standing with just aShe’s, he will have much gold silver and precious stone as a reward for what he did.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    That has nothing to do with 1 cor 3: 15.. It has to do with us after we are born again, Setting aside our needs, desires, our wants, Our status, suffering loss. to be conformed to the image of God while walking this earth. 1 cor 3: 15 is about a judgment day held after those who are born again...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    What are you concerned with? Think of a man who is in his house. and his house catches fire. and he escapes with nothing but the clothes on his back. all his possessions are lost. yet he himself is saved. This is the picture paul is trying to convey. What is lost is eternal. not here on this...

    The suffered loss of eternal reward. This is at the end, on judgment day. after the ressurection. Gods wants to reward us for work done here. Gold silver and precious stone. But if our work does not endure. it will suffer loss and that reward will be left in ashes. They gained all things...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Paul was saved on the road when he met christ. Everything he did after that was out of appreciation and out of respect for what God did fo0r him. He suffered loss. Not for himself. but for tghe people he was sent as an apostle to so they could find what he found. Paul did not do those things...

    Who suffers loss of all things yet is saved as through fire? A child of God who was adopted as a son, But remained a babe,, because he never matured.. God does not go back on his promise. If he saved you, your saved.. Period..
