WHEN THE TRUE WORD OF GOD COME: WILL ANY BELIEVE?

Matthew Henry was born in 1662 in a Welsh farmhouse close to the border of England and Wales. His Father was a pastor also: Matthew Henry has given his commentary of Bible Scriptures for many years; I wanted the readers to compare the different in Matthew Henry interpretation of 1st Corinthians 3:10-15 and the explanation of what the HOLY SPIRIT allow me to clarify concerning scriptures: 1st Corinthians 3:10-15 King James Version -- http://www.eaec.org/faithhallfame/matthewhenry.htm

Apostle Paul wrote:
3. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 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.

Here is the Commentary of Matthew Henry’s of 1st Corinthians 3:10-15
The Apostle Paul was a wise master-builder; but the grace of God made him such. Spiritual pride is abominable; it is using the greatest favors of God, to feed our own vanity, and make idols of ourselves. But let every man take heed; there may be bad building on a good foundation. Nothing must be laid upon it, but what the foundation will bear, and what is of a piece with it. Let us not dare to join a merely human or a carnal life with a Divine faith, the corruption of sin with the profession of Christianity. Christ is a firm, abiding, and immovable Rock of ages, every way able to bear all the weight that God himself or the sinner can lay upon him; neither is there salvation in any other. Leave out the doctrine of his atonement, and there is no foundation for our hopes. But of those who rest on this foundation, there are two sorts. Some hold nothing but the truth as it is in Jesus, and preach nothing else. Others build on the good foundation what will not abide the test, when the day of trail comes. We may be mistaken in ourselves and others; but there is a day coming that will show our actions in the true light, without covering or disguise. Those who spread true and pure religion in all its branches, and whose work will abide in the great day, shall receive a reward. And how great! How much exceeding their deserts! There are others, whose corrupt opinions and doctrines, or vain inventions and usages in the worship of God, shall be made known, disowned, and rejected, in that day. This is plainly meant of a figurative fire, not of a real one; for what real fire can consume religious rites or doctrines? And it is to try every man's works, those of Paul and Apollo, as well as others. Let us consider the tendency of our undertakings, compare them with God's word, and judge ourselves, that we be not judged of the Lord.

(PRETTY LENTHY and CONFUSING)
******************************************************************************
Before I give the interpretation of 1st Corinthians 3:10-15, - of what I truly believe that the HOLY SPIRIT allowed me to understand by giving some supporting scriptures of GOD word. (His FIRE)
Jeremiah 23:29 – ARE NOT MY WORD AS LIKE FIRE……
1. JEHOVAH GOD word as like FIRE.
John 6:29 - JESUS SAID: “THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT WE BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM JEHOVAH GOD SENT. (Jesus laid the truth Foundation of the Gospel)
2. OUR BELIEF IN WHO GOD SENT – THE “BELIEF” IS the “WORK” of GOD/ “OUR FAITH”.
THE FOUNDATION of the Gospel is what Jesus laid from the beginning - THE GOSPEL FROM GOD. EVERY WORD HIS FATHER COMMANDED JESUS TO SAY AND SPEAK. (Deuteronomy 18:18) and JESUS VERIFY IT: IN JOHN 12:49 “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.”

And JEHOVAH SAID, “LISTEN TO HIS SON! AND BELIEVE IN HIM.” Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
From Norris by the Holy Spirit who I truly believe in:
Apostle Paul was chosen to be a minister by the grace of GOD, building from the foundation of the true Gospel that Jesus Christ brought and laid for us, he gave us). Other preachers will try to build up on Jesus foundation of the gospel, but we must be very careful of what we believe of them and to test every Spirit (1st John 4:1) - Because these antichrist false preachers may build upon Christ foundation as like (LIES) as like STRAWS, HAY or STUBBLE, not like unto PRECIOUS STONES AS LIKE – SILVER, GOLD, DIAMOND – That DAY will come and the FIRE (GOD WORD) will TEST every man WORK (Belief) or what sort of the foundation they are believing.. If they have heard the truth and believe it, they shall REAP a REWARD, but if they have believed in a LIES and Still Believe in those LIES after the FIRE has come and REVEALED the LIES, they will SUFFER a LOSS, but anyone could STILL BE SAVE BY START BELIEVING IN THE FIRE (THE TRUE WORD OF GOD).

I’m only spreading GOD word as the Holy Spirit give to me – as like a FLAME spread a FIRE ( Hebrews 1:7) HIS MINISTERS ARE LIKE A FLAME TO A FIRE.

Thanks to All Readers
