Note 5 at 1Co 3:14: Those who were not governed by the Holy Spirit in their actions will see all their good works burned up on that day when we stand before the Lord and He tries our works. Those who acted only under the guidance of the Holy Spirit will find that their works will endure the test, and they will receive a reward.

Many people choose to do good things, thinking that God will be pleased. But our positive response to God's direction (faith) is what pleases God (Heb 11:6). We were created with a purpose, and each one of us has a God-given plan for our lives. Unless our actions are in agreement with God's plan for our lives, they will not abide the test of God's fire.
