What happens to the wood, hay, and stubble at the judgment seat of Christ?
The stuff that is wood, hay, and stubble will disappear, while that which is gold, silver, and precious stones will remain. From what remains, the believer will receive a reward above and beyond salvation and the promises. This reward is separate from salvation itself.
Les explains that the wood, hay, and stubble are the works that will disappear, while the gold, silver, and precious stones will remain. From that which remains, believers will receive a reward. Les stresses that this reward is above and beyond salvation and the promises. He contrasts it with the common ideas of streets paved with gold and mansions in glory, saying those are not the reward. He admits he cannot totally put his finger on what the reward is, but he likes to think it will be places of responsibility in the heavenlies. He also notes that many people do not understand this concept of reward for the believer, though Scripture says it plainly.
