'Redeemed from fire by fire'

Proverbs 17:3; Zechariah 13:7-9

1. What will fire do?

The LORD uses fire to test the hearts of men.

He will bring into the fire and refine the righteous like silver and test them like gold. They will call on the Lord's name and God will answer them; The Lord will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.' "

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

2. How can we ensure fire will not damage us?

Our works will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.

If what we built survives, we will receive God's reward. If it is burned up, we will suffer loss; we will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

Therefore, do everything truthfully based on God.
