Amazingly, Paul spoke more about this topic of being careful about not losing your life’s work to the Corinthians than to any other church. He seems to imply that their often out-of-control lives threatened them with irrecoverable loss.
1 Corinthians 3:15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. NKJV
All that will be left of life will be that they were saved (they shall be saved, yet so as by fire). That is such a description of so many lives that fill God’s Word; they began the race with great achievement, but failed at the end because they ignored God’s rules.
They did not lose their salvation, but they did lose their rewards (1 Corinthians 3:15). It happened to Lot (Genesis 19), to Samson (Judges 16), and to Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5). And, as Paul warns, it can happen to us!
