Those Who Live By Biblical Standards

 This section in Scripture is addressing the attitude and behaviour which should epitomize the godly man or virtuous woman, irrespective of their status in life or their position in society.
 God's children will be rewarded for the good work they carry out in spirit and truth, but will suffer loss for those times when they were walking in the flesh or living for their own selfish reasons. Only works which are carried out in the power of the Spirit will be rewarded, while those undertaken through one's own power will suffer loss. 
 Those Who Live By Biblical Standards through the power of the Holy Spirit, will receive the reward of their inheritance, while believers who do not, will suffer the loss of heavenly reward that could have been theirs.  He who does wrong (whether a wife, husband, child or parent) will receive the consequences of the wrong they have done, and that without partiality.
 God is no respecter of persons. Salvation is offered as a free gift to ALL, by faith, and born-again believers are to live by faith. When believers live by faith, according to His purpose, and fit into His plan, then they will receive their promised reward - while those who do not live as outlined in the Word, will receive the consequences of the wrong which they have done. Saved, but without reward.
But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this truth, that You are no respecter of persons. Thank You that our salvation does not rely on what we do to please You, but on what Christ has done on our account. Thank You that we have received eternal life as a free gift of Your grace through faith, and we pray that we will live worthy of our calling and in a way that honors You. Help us to walk in humility of heart and in spirit and truth, irrespective of our circumstances, and enable us to carry out the works that You have given us to do, to Your honor and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
