Send us Fan MailEpisode 8: Wood, Hay, Stubble (Bible Study)Are you living a life worth Christ dying for?In this thought-provoking Bible study, we take a deep dive into Romans 12:1–2 and 1 Corinthians 3:12–15 to explore what it truly means to present our bodies as living sacrifices and build lives that will withstand the test of eternity.Too often, we view salvation as the finish line, when in reality, it is only the beginning. As followers of Christ, we have been entrusted with Kingdom work, and Scripture reminds us that one day our works will be tested by fire. Will what we've built endure as gold, silver, and precious stones, or will it burn away as wood, hay, and stubble?In this episode, we discuss: What it means to present your body as a living sacrifice.  The purpose behind Old Testament sacrifices and how Christ fulfilled them.  Why being a Christian is more than a profession—it is an identity with responsibility.  The difference between living for yourself and living for Christ.  The Kingdom assignment every believer has been given.  Why God repeatedly says, "I know your works." How our works will be evaluated before Christ.  How to live with eternity—not just today—in mind. This episode is both a challenge and an invitation to examine the foundation upon which we're building our lives. Because in the end, the question isn't simply whether we were saved—it's whether we faithfully lived for the One who saved us."Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?" — Leonard RavenhillScriptures Referenced Romans 12:1–2  Genesis 2:7–15  Psalm 90  Matthew 6:10  Matthew 28:18–20  Luke 9:23  1 Corinthians 3:1–15  1 Corinthians 6:19–20  1 Corinthians 15  2 Corinthians 5:9–17  Ephesians 2:10  Titus 1:16  Revelation 2–3  Revelation 22:12https://www.instagram.com/purposeoverpopularitypodcast/www.youtube.com/@PurposeOverPopularity
