  34. Notes Page 31 How are Christians Saved? Eph 2:8 NKJV For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, {9}not of works, lest anyone should boast. Rom 11:6 NKJV And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown [a reward]. Notes Page 31

  37. Christians Serve to Gain Rewards 1 Cor 9:26 NKJV Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. {27} But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. Disqualified from what? …from the prize that is earned. Notes Page 31

  38. Christians Serve to Gain Rewards Phil 3:12 NIV Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. {13} Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, {14} I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Notes Page 31

  39. Christians can Loose Rewards 1 Cor 3:14 NKJV If anyone's work which he has built on it [the foundation of Christ] endures, he will receive a reward. {15} If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss [of rewards]; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Notes Page 31
