2:4; Jude 6; 1 Cor. As mentioned above, this is not only contrary to the finished work of Christ who once and for all paid the penalty for our sins, but it is contrary to the teaching of 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11. Large portions of the populations of the earth will be wiped out suddenly, both human and animal. It is called white because it will be the supreme and undimmed display of the perfect righteousness and justice of God to all mankind. 6:1; 9:14), of unfruitful deeds (Eph. This judgment affected all of creation (Genesis 3:1718; Romans 8:2022). 32:3-5). 12:3-4). (3) The Promise of Accolades or Commendations. 10 Lewis Sperry Chafer, Systematic Theology, Vol. For example, Moses lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea. Therefore, at the judgment seat of Christ forensic punishment will not be meted out for the believers sins.15. 1:10; Rev. (5) The Promise of Special Responsibilities and Authority of the Lords Possessions (cf. The question of sin in regard to Gods justice has been forever satisfied in the mind of God by the all-sufficient sacrifice of His Son. 1 Cor. In one sense, the Thessalonians will be Pauls crown, and the effect at the Bema and throughout eternity will be rejoicing or exultation over their presence in heaven. 19:12). But for now, lest we draw some wrong conclusions, we need to be ever mindful that Gods Word clearly teaches there are specific and very serious consequences, both temporal and eternal, for sin or disobedience. (3) In 2 Timothy 4:8 and 1 Corinthians 4:5, rewards are associated with that day and with the Lords coming. Both Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:9 speak of the judgment seat. This is a translation of one Greek word, the word bema. The victor of a given event, who had participated according to the rules, was led by the judge to the platform called the Bema. In the first stage, we are all judged from the books according to our works. But how? What we know about rewards is given in terms that are more general than specific. 2-3). 3:10). 25:1-30). 3:24; 5:15-17; 6:23; Eph. 6:14f; 9:20; 11:10, 18). For the non-Christian, the one who has never trusted in the person and work of Jesus Christ, it should cause him to want to search out the truth regarding Jesus Christ, to embrace Him in faith as the Savior from his sin and eternal doom. At the other end of the spectrum another group, which holds to the same eschatological chronology, views this event as an awards ceremony. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 39:28). Carnality causes broken relationships and pain to those around usour families, friends, associates, and co-workers in the body of Christ (Gal. Since the church is gone, caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thess. We may rule over galaxies, celestial bodies, the heavens, and definitely over angels, and the world (cf. Note that the text says and the books (plural) were opened, and another book (singular) was opened, which is the Book of Life. We have two sets, the books and the book which is mentioned again in verse 15a. 2 Tim. When we fail to deal with our sinful ways through honest confession, we grieve the Spirits person and quench His power in our lives. This always results in moral devolution and degeneration. Eph. The Bible declares, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God. In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and who must therefore judge sinful man (Rom. 2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 1:13; Isa. 22:3; 21:4; Isa. (5) The hour of testing which shall try the whole earth (Rev. An interesting and important passage to this study is Acts 24:15-16 because in this passage Paul implicitly made reference to two judgments which are closely related. A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. 2:12-14 [note the emphasis on good works]). When Adam and Eve chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they acted in self-centered independence which was idolatry and sin. 3:23; Hab. 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. Appears refers to the rapture which leads quickly into the Bema. While, for Gods own purposes, Satan has been allowed to continue his nefarious schemes, Scripture speaks of three sure events regarding the activity of Satan and his demonic forces: his binding during the millennium, his short release, and his final incarceration in the Lake of Fire. and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. Some believe in a partial rapture theory which says that only those in fellowship with the Lord will be raptured as a form of punishment for their sin. 20:10). If you have not, may I encourage you to read Appendix A, investigate the claims of Christ, and receive Him as your Savior by faith. 4:4-6, 22). He said to the judges, Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord who is with you when you render judgment. 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness. Q. The crown is not eternal life which is a gift through faith alone in Christ alone (Jn. 24:31-46). Or, to put it another way, it is a record of those who have not rejected Gods plan of salvation and have responded to Christ in faith; for these their faith is reckoned for righteousness and their sins have not been imputed to them (Rom. 2:12-13), but the decision to serve, and the diligence employed in doing so, are our responsibility and our contribution and God sees this as rewardable. The Bible teaches us that God loves all people and wants to bring them into a harmonious relationship with Himself. 21:4). They are resurrected, gathered before the throne and actually behold the dissolution of heaven and earth as a foreboding preparation for their judgment. Colossians 1:29 And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. (2) It is part of the training process by which Gods children are brought into the experience of Gods holiness (Heb. The visible return of Jesus Christ (Matt. But the point of Scripture is that even this is a part of Gods judgment upon a world that has sought its answers apart from the true God. The rapture is the means of our deliverance from the wrath he discusses in chapter 5:1-3. Its the message of the gift of Gods own Son who became man (the God-man), lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sin, and was raised from the grave proving both the fact He is Gods Son and the value of His death for us as our substitute (Rom. 6:17, italics added). There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. The dead, great and small emphasizes that no one is exempt. (See Appendix A for an explanation of how to become a Christian.). Sin requires a penalty, the penalty of death as Gods holy judgment on sin. (7) Loss of Physical Health and Vitality. No amount of good living will get us to heaven or give us eternal life. The judge is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:22-23, 27). 13; 17); economically (Rev. This is clear from both the context of 5:4-8 and by the fact he changed the words he used for sleep. If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? 1:4; 4:25). When God put Adam and Eve in the garden, He furnished them with every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food (Gen. 2:9). God is not only perfect holiness (whose holy character we can never attain to on our own or by our works of righteousness) but He is also perfect love and full of grace and mercy. Q. I see one Judge two 2 Final Judgment Seats. Matthew 25:1-30 shows that God will judge living Israel to separate the saved from the unsaved. At the judgment of the Gentiles Christ will separate the sheep, representing the saved, from the goats, representing the lost (Matt. Moses was on Mount Sinai for forty days and nights receiving Gods laws. The Christian has been in court, condemned, sentenced, and executed in his substitute, Jesus Christ. Again, there is only one judgment day, but Revelation 20:11-15 tells us the judgment process has two stages. They insist that the tribulation is not the judgment of God, but comes from man and Satan bringing persecution to all. For the Lord will execute judgment by fireAnd by His sword on all flesh,And those slain by the Lord will be many. Awards are handed out to every Christian. (1) Christs judgment for sin, dying in the place of the sinner, bearing his sin and judgment on the cross as the sinners substitute. WebThe Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in the Holy Bible at least four explicit and possibly two implicit times: Daniel 8:1527. garmin vivoactive 3 vs forerunner 45 For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son. The judgment seat of Christ might be compared to a commencement ceremony. But Israel is first gathered at the borders, outside the land of Israel, called in Ezekiel 20:35 the wilderness of the peoples, for judgment, face to face, one by one as sheep pass under the shepherds rod. Furthermore, we are called upon to make judgments in the sense of evaluations when it comes to selecting elders and deacons, or in dealing with those who have fallen into sin (1 Tim. Matt. 12:5f and 1 Cor. This in no way suggests a permanent condition. Rather, it is a place where rewards will be given or lost depending on how one has used his or her life for the Lord. We are not to judge others in the sense of condemning them or passing judgment on the opinions of others on doubtful matters as discussed in Romans 14. This will be followed by their examination before the Judgment Seat of Christ. 24:21. 24:21), and it will be culminated by the personal return of Jesus Christ to earth (Matt. (11) It is a time of unprecedented apostasy and blasphemy against God (Rev. (3) The resurrection (rapture) and Bema of the church concludes this parenthesis, the church age, but Old Testament saints (the righteous dead) are not resurrected and rewarded until after the seventieth week when God concludes His program with Israel as far as the seventy weeks of Daniel are concerned. I believe Jesus Christ died for me and rose from the grave. 12:11). 24:9, 21, 29; Mark 13:19, 24; Rev. 3:6-15). Nor are pleasure and enjoyment illegitimate experiences. Teach me good discernment and knowledge,For I believe in Your commandments. 9:24-25). But this sorrow must be somewhat relative because even for the finest of Christians there will be some things worthy of unceasing remorse in the light of Gods unapproachable holiness. All that was done through the energy of the flesh will be regarded as worthless for reward, while all that was done in the power of the Holy Spirit will be graciously rewarded. And no place was found for them, i.e., for heaven and earth. The clear emphasis of Scripture is that the events of Revelation 6-19 constitute a time of Gods special judgment poured out upon the earth. There used to be a sign in the registrars office at Dallas Seminary which read, Salvation is by grace Graduation is by works.. It is a family matter. 5:19-21, 26). Declare it is deloo which means to make evident, clear. Be revealed is apokalupto and means to unveil. Test is dokimazo and means to test for the sake of approval. The quality is hopoios, a correlative and qualitative pronoun meaning of what sort or kind.. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. Though we will not be judged in the sense of punished for sin at the Bema since the Lord has born that for us, we must never take sin lightly because there are many consequences. This means that rather than operating by faith in Gods provision, we end up operating in the energy of the flesh. See Appendix C for an overview of the Tribulation. And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. The negative effects involve the following: (1) The loss suffered in 1 Corinthians 3:15 refers to the loss of rewards, not salvation as the verse goes on to make clear. Why did Christ have to die for us? (2) To destroy and remove unacceptable production portrayed in the symbols of wood, hay, and stubble. This crown is a reward given for witnessing, follow-up, and ministry to others. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. 26:19).5. This means we must each come to God the same wayas a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, repudiates any form of human works for salvation, and relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation. Though believers are under no condemnation in respect to their sins, having been justified by faith (John 3:18; 5:24; Rom. The rebels of unbelief must be removed so that only believing Israel will enter into the kingdom (cf. (6) Israel is the earthly kingdom and will undoubtedly have authority over portions and sections of the millennial kingdom and the eternal kingdom as emphasized in Matt. 2:19; Phil. (5) It is a day of extreme lawlessness, sin, and demonic activity (Rev. 5:1; 8:1; 1 Cor. As the loving Father that He is, God must break out the board of discipline in His loving commitment to bring us back to Himself. Reasons for this will be set forth and developed as we study the nature, purpose, and basis for the Bema. Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier concerning the judgment of Satan, God has manifested His power by defeating Satan and his hordes. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. (3) It is an expression and a proof of Gods love (Heb. This is Gods judgment to cast Satan down from his position in heaven as the anointed cherub with all those angels who followed him to this earth and its atmosphere as the primary abode of their operations (cf. (3) The Crown of Exultation or Rejoicing (1 Thess. Key Scriptures: Heb. 65:17). Unconfessed sin stands as a barrier to fellowship with the Lord and His control over ones life. (2) Christs Judgment Unto Sins Reign; the Judgment of the Believers Sin Nature. 1 Cor. (3) A time of trouble or distress (Daniel 12:1). Emotion proceeds from the realization of facts in personal experience. WebAs it will be shown below, though it is tremendously serious with eternal ramifications, the judgment seat of Christ is not a place and time when the Lord will mete out punishment for sins committed by the child of God. He will, likewise, be without guilt because he has been declared righteous. This means that, through coidentification with Christ in His death on the cross, the believers sin nature was also judged, crucified, with Christ in His death so that its power has been broken or neutralized. For instance, Matthew 7 which tells us not to judge, is immediately followed with the command, Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces (Matt. The next prophetic event in Gods timetable will be the rapture or the catching up of the body of Christ, the church, as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. We should not think of discipline as punishment. In fact, the Greek word appears 146 times in the New Testament, but it is It is a gift through faith, but He rewards us for good works. How then do we receive Gods Son that we may have the eternal life God has promised us? Rom. As they refused to follow the light, they were brought to folly in their thoughtsbecame vain in their [corrupt] reasonings, and their foolish [senseless] heart was darkened. The intellectual revolt against what they knew to be right was attended by a darkening of the whole understanding. I believe we have two books here. One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. A few verses after Phil 1:6, Paul mentions the day of Jesus Christ again. 4:8; Rev. The believer is seen by the Father as clothed in the righteousness of Christ. This is the good news of the Bible, the message of the gospel. There is the glorification of living believers in glorified bodies, the resurrection of those believers who have died in the Lord also in glorified bodies, and the translation of both to meet the Lord in the air. The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. 1:6; Col. 2:10; Heb. These are: (1) The Promise of Crowns. The text reads: Acts 24:15-16 having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a re Ezek. 20:4). The world seeks to find answers to its problems through the one world movement of the last days and apart from the true God as He has revealed Himself in Christ. (b) It is also a special crown given for faithfulness in running the race and exercising self-control in order to serve the Lord and finish the race. The expression the judgment seat of Christ in the English Bible has tended to cause some to draw the wrong conclusion about the nature and purpose of this evaluation. Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. If you prayed this prayer and truly trusted in the person of Jesus Christ and His death for your sin, then you have been born anew into the family of God. When they enjoyed each other and the fruit trees and blessings of the garden, they acted in their self-interest but they did so in dependence on and in obedience to the Lord. When the Bible speaks of the last judgment, it is not similar to taking a final test to see whether we pass or fail. That type of judgment has already taken place. This last judgment is the public recognition of decisions long-since made. The last judgment is also known as the Great White Throne judgment. Will the Lord reject forever?And will He never be favorable again? Romans 5:19 For as through the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 4:10, 11). 1:13a). After discussing the immoral man, the moral man, and the religious man in Romans 1:18-3:8, the Apostle Paul declares that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin, that there is none righteous, not even one, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. The judgment of the Nation of Israel (Matt. Carnal believers are occupied and controlled by their own self-centered desires (Gal. In 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20, the Apostle Paul drew courage and was motivated by the fact of rewards at the return of the Lord for the church which he mentions in every chapter in this epistle and becomes the primary subject of 2 Thessalonians. Matt. WebEditor - KJV Only, Dispensational, Bible believer Author has 62 answers and 23.3K answer views 1 y There are three different judgments for people: the judgment seat of Christ the judgment of the nations the great white throne judgment Judgement seat of Christ Saved Christians will not go through any other judgment apart from this one. 24:31; Ezek. Soon, however, 144,000 will come to Christ from the nation of Israel and will evidently become the evangelists of the world who lead people to Christ from every tongue, tribe, and nation (Rev. He did not whip the losers.8 We might add, neither did he sentence them to hard labor. Joy will indeed be the predominant emotion of life with the Lord; but I suspect that, when our works are made manifest at the tribunal, some grief will be mixed with the joy, and we shall know shame as we suffer loss. The Tribulation will witness Satans wrath and the persecutions of his man, the Beast (Rev. The Lord performs righteous deedsAnd judgments for all who are oppressed. Rom. 3:7, 10-12). 2:12). 14:10-12; 1 Cor. 19:17-19; 22:29-30; Rev. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Just as He judged the Jews still alive at the end of the Tribulation when Christ personally returns to earth, so He will also judge those Gentiles who remain (Matt. The Tribulation judgments (Matt. But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Of course all sickness, weakness, or suffering is not a product of sin, but it can be and often is (1 Cor. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. 1:18-21; 2:12). All of mankind without distinction are under the curse of sin and judged as sinful and separated from God apart from the saving grace of God in Christ. , Paul mentions the day of the Lord will execute judgment by fireAnd his.

(5) The Promise of Special Responsibilities and Authority of the Lords Possessions (cf.

In one sense, the Thessalonians will be Pauls crown, and the effect at the Bema and throughout eternity will be rejoicing or exultation over their presence in heaven. 19:12). But for now, lest we draw some wrong conclusions, we need to be ever mindful that Gods Word clearly teaches there are specific and very serious consequences, both temporal and eternal, for sin or disobedience. (3) In 2 Timothy 4:8 and 1 Corinthians 4:5, rewards are associated with that day and with the Lords coming. Both Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:9 speak of the judgment seat. This is a translation of one Greek word, the word bema. The victor of a given event, who had participated according to the rules, was led by the judge to the platform called the Bema.

What we know about rewards is given in terms that are more general than specific. 2-3). 3:10). 25:1-30). 3:24; 5:15-17; 6:23; Eph. 6:14f; 9:20; 11:10, 18). For the non-Christian, the one who has never trusted in the person and work of Jesus Christ, it should cause him to want to search out the truth regarding Jesus Christ, to embrace Him in faith as the Savior from his sin and eternal doom. At the other end of the spectrum another group, which holds to the same eschatological chronology, views this event as an awards ceremony. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 39:28). Carnality causes broken relationships and pain to those around usour families, friends, associates, and co-workers in the body of Christ (Gal. Since the church is gone, caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thess. We may rule over galaxies, celestial bodies, the heavens, and definitely over angels, and the world (cf. Note that the text says and the books (plural) were opened, and another book (singular) was opened, which is the Book of Life. We have two sets, the books and the book which is mentioned again in verse 15a. 2 Tim. When we fail to deal with our sinful ways through honest confession, we grieve the Spirits person and quench His power in our lives. This always results in moral devolution and degeneration. Eph. The Bible declares, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God. In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and who must therefore judge sinful man (Rom. 2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 1:13; Isa. 22:3; 21:4; Isa. (5) The hour of testing which shall try the whole earth (Rev. An interesting and important passage to this study is Acts 24:15-16 because in this passage Paul implicitly made reference to two judgments which are closely related. A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. 2:12-14 [note the emphasis on good works]). When Adam and Eve chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they acted in self-centered independence which was idolatry and sin. 3:23; Hab. 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. Appears refers to the rapture which leads quickly into the Bema. While, for Gods own purposes, Satan has been allowed to continue his nefarious schemes, Scripture speaks of three sure events regarding the activity of Satan and his demonic forces: his binding during the millennium, his short release, and his final incarceration in the Lake of Fire. and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. Some believe in a partial rapture theory which says that only those in fellowship with the Lord will be raptured as a form of punishment for their sin. 20:10). If you have not, may I encourage you to read Appendix A, investigate the claims of Christ, and receive Him as your Savior by faith. 4:4-6, 22). He said to the judges, Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord who is with you when you render judgment. 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness. Q. The crown is not eternal life which is a gift through faith alone in Christ alone (Jn. 24:31-46). Or, to put it another way, it is a record of those who have not rejected Gods plan of salvation and have responded to Christ in faith; for these their faith is reckoned for righteousness and their sins have not been imputed to them (Rom. 2:12-13), but the decision to serve, and the diligence employed in doing so, are our responsibility and our contribution and God sees this as rewardable. The Bible teaches us that God loves all people and wants to bring them into a harmonious relationship with Himself. 21:4). They are resurrected, gathered before the throne and actually behold the dissolution of heaven and earth as a foreboding preparation for their judgment. Colossians 1:29 And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. (2) It is part of the training process by which Gods children are brought into the experience of Gods holiness (Heb. The visible return of Jesus Christ (Matt. But the point of Scripture is that even this is a part of Gods judgment upon a world that has sought its answers apart from the true God. The rapture is the means of our deliverance from the wrath he discusses in chapter 5:1-3. Its the message of the gift of Gods own Son who became man (the God-man), lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sin, and was raised from the grave proving both the fact He is Gods Son and the value of His death for us as our substitute (Rom. 6:17, italics added). There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. The dead, great and small emphasizes that no one is exempt. (See Appendix A for an explanation of how to become a Christian.). Sin requires a penalty, the penalty of death as Gods holy judgment on sin. (7) Loss of Physical Health and Vitality. No amount of good living will get us to heaven or give us eternal life. The judge is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:22-23, 27). 13; 17); economically (Rev. This is clear from both the context of 5:4-8 and by the fact he changed the words he used for sleep. If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? 1:4; 4:25). When God put Adam and Eve in the garden, He furnished them with every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food (Gen. 2:9). God is not only perfect holiness (whose holy character we can never attain to on our own or by our works of righteousness) but He is also perfect love and full of grace and mercy. Q. I see one Judge two 2 Final Judgment Seats. Matthew 25:1-30 shows that God will judge living Israel to separate the saved from the unsaved. At the judgment of the Gentiles Christ will separate the sheep, representing the saved, from the goats, representing the lost (Matt. Moses was on Mount Sinai for forty days and nights receiving Gods laws. The Christian has been in court, condemned, sentenced, and executed in his substitute, Jesus Christ. Again, there is only one judgment day, but Revelation 20:11-15 tells us the judgment process has two stages. They insist that the tribulation is not the judgment of God, but comes from man and Satan bringing persecution to all. For the Lord will execute judgment by fireAnd by His sword on all flesh,And those slain by the Lord will be many. Awards are handed out to every Christian. (1) Christs judgment for sin, dying in the place of the sinner, bearing his sin and judgment on the cross as the sinners substitute. WebThe Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in the Holy Bible at least four explicit and possibly two implicit times: Daniel 8:1527. garmin vivoactive 3 vs forerunner 45 For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son. The judgment seat of Christ might be compared to a commencement ceremony. But Israel is first gathered at the borders, outside the land of Israel, called in Ezekiel 20:35 the wilderness of the peoples, for judgment, face to face, one by one as sheep pass under the shepherds rod. Furthermore, we are called upon to make judgments in the sense of evaluations when it comes to selecting elders and deacons, or in dealing with those who have fallen into sin (1 Tim. Matt. 12:5f and 1 Cor. This in no way suggests a permanent condition. Rather, it is a place where rewards will be given or lost depending on how one has used his or her life for the Lord. We are not to judge others in the sense of condemning them or passing judgment on the opinions of others on doubtful matters as discussed in Romans 14. This will be followed by their examination before the Judgment Seat of Christ. 24:21. 24:21), and it will be culminated by the personal return of Jesus Christ to earth (Matt. (11) It is a time of unprecedented apostasy and blasphemy against God (Rev. (3) The resurrection (rapture) and Bema of the church concludes this parenthesis, the church age, but Old Testament saints (the righteous dead) are not resurrected and rewarded until after the seventieth week when God concludes His program with Israel as far as the seventy weeks of Daniel are concerned. I believe Jesus Christ died for me and rose from the grave. 12:11). 24:9, 21, 29; Mark 13:19, 24; Rev. 3:6-15). Nor are pleasure and enjoyment illegitimate experiences. Teach me good discernment and knowledge,For I believe in Your commandments. 9:24-25). But this sorrow must be somewhat relative because even for the finest of Christians there will be some things worthy of unceasing remorse in the light of Gods unapproachable holiness. All that was done through the energy of the flesh will be regarded as worthless for reward, while all that was done in the power of the Holy Spirit will be graciously rewarded. And no place was found for them, i.e., for heaven and earth. The clear emphasis of Scripture is that the events of Revelation 6-19 constitute a time of Gods special judgment poured out upon the earth. There used to be a sign in the registrars office at Dallas Seminary which read, Salvation is by grace Graduation is by works.. It is a family matter. 5:19-21, 26). Declare it is deloo which means to make evident, clear. Be revealed is apokalupto and means to unveil. Test is dokimazo and means to test for the sake of approval. The quality is hopoios, a correlative and qualitative pronoun meaning of what sort or kind.. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. Though we will not be judged in the sense of punished for sin at the Bema since the Lord has born that for us, we must never take sin lightly because there are many consequences. This means that rather than operating by faith in Gods provision, we end up operating in the energy of the flesh. See Appendix C for an overview of the Tribulation. And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. The negative effects involve the following: (1) The loss suffered in 1 Corinthians 3:15 refers to the loss of rewards, not salvation as the verse goes on to make clear. Why did Christ have to die for us? (2) To destroy and remove unacceptable production portrayed in the symbols of wood, hay, and stubble. This crown is a reward given for witnessing, follow-up, and ministry to others. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. 26:19).5. This means we must each come to God the same wayas a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, repudiates any form of human works for salvation, and relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation. Though believers are under no condemnation in respect to their sins, having been justified by faith (John 3:18; 5:24; Rom. The rebels of unbelief must be removed so that only believing Israel will enter into the kingdom (cf. (6) Israel is the earthly kingdom and will undoubtedly have authority over portions and sections of the millennial kingdom and the eternal kingdom as emphasized in Matt. 2:19; Phil. (5) It is a day of extreme lawlessness, sin, and demonic activity (Rev. 5:1; 8:1; 1 Cor. As the loving Father that He is, God must break out the board of discipline in His loving commitment to bring us back to Himself. Reasons for this will be set forth and developed as we study the nature, purpose, and basis for the Bema. Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier concerning the judgment of Satan, God has manifested His power by defeating Satan and his hordes. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. (3) It is an expression and a proof of Gods love (Heb. This is Gods judgment to cast Satan down from his position in heaven as the anointed cherub with all those angels who followed him to this earth and its atmosphere as the primary abode of their operations (cf. (3) The Crown of Exultation or Rejoicing (1 Thess. Key Scriptures: Heb. 65:17). Unconfessed sin stands as a barrier to fellowship with the Lord and His control over ones life. (2) Christs Judgment Unto Sins Reign; the Judgment of the Believers Sin Nature. 1 Cor. (3) A time of trouble or distress (Daniel 12:1). Emotion proceeds from the realization of facts in personal experience. WebAs it will be shown below, though it is tremendously serious with eternal ramifications, the judgment seat of Christ is not a place and time when the Lord will mete out punishment for sins committed by the child of God. He will, likewise, be without guilt because he has been declared righteous. This means that, through coidentification with Christ in His death on the cross, the believers sin nature was also judged, crucified, with Christ in His death so that its power has been broken or neutralized. For instance, Matthew 7 which tells us not to judge, is immediately followed with the command, Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces (Matt. The next prophetic event in Gods timetable will be the rapture or the catching up of the body of Christ, the church, as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. We should not think of discipline as punishment. In fact, the Greek word appears 146 times in the New Testament, but it is It is a gift through faith, but He rewards us for good works. How then do we receive Gods Son that we may have the eternal life God has promised us? Rom. As they refused to follow the light, they were brought to folly in their thoughtsbecame vain in their [corrupt] reasonings, and their foolish [senseless] heart was darkened. The intellectual revolt against what they knew to be right was attended by a darkening of the whole understanding. I believe we have two books here. One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. A few verses after Phil 1:6, Paul mentions the day of Jesus Christ again. 4:8; Rev. The believer is seen by the Father as clothed in the righteousness of Christ. This is the good news of the Bible, the message of the gospel. There is the glorification of living believers in glorified bodies, the resurrection of those believers who have died in the Lord also in glorified bodies, and the translation of both to meet the Lord in the air. The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. 1:6; Col. 2:10; Heb. These are: (1) The Promise of Crowns. The text reads: Acts 24:15-16 having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a re Ezek. 20:4). The world seeks to find answers to its problems through the one world movement of the last days and apart from the true God as He has revealed Himself in Christ. (b) It is also a special crown given for faithfulness in running the race and exercising self-control in order to serve the Lord and finish the race. The expression the judgment seat of Christ in the English Bible has tended to cause some to draw the wrong conclusion about the nature and purpose of this evaluation. Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. If you prayed this prayer and truly trusted in the person of Jesus Christ and His death for your sin, then you have been born anew into the family of God. When they enjoyed each other and the fruit trees and blessings of the garden, they acted in their self-interest but they did so in dependence on and in obedience to the Lord. When the Bible speaks of the last judgment, it is not similar to taking a final test to see whether we pass or fail. That type of judgment has already taken place. This last judgment is the public recognition of decisions long-since made. The last judgment is also known as the Great White Throne judgment. Will the Lord reject forever?And will He never be favorable again? Romans 5:19 For as through the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 4:10, 11). 1:13a). After discussing the immoral man, the moral man, and the religious man in Romans 1:18-3:8, the Apostle Paul declares that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin, that there is none righteous, not even one, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. The judgment of the Nation of Israel (Matt. Carnal believers are occupied and controlled by their own self-centered desires (Gal. In 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20, the Apostle Paul drew courage and was motivated by the fact of rewards at the return of the Lord for the church which he mentions in every chapter in this epistle and becomes the primary subject of 2 Thessalonians. Matt. WebEditor - KJV Only, Dispensational, Bible believer Author has 62 answers and 23.3K answer views 1 y There are three different judgments for people: the judgment seat of Christ the judgment of the nations the great white throne judgment Judgement seat of Christ Saved Christians will not go through any other judgment apart from this one. 24:31; Ezek. Soon, however, 144,000 will come to Christ from the nation of Israel and will evidently become the evangelists of the world who lead people to Christ from every tongue, tribe, and nation (Rev. He did not whip the losers.8 We might add, neither did he sentence them to hard labor. Joy will indeed be the predominant emotion of life with the Lord; but I suspect that, when our works are made manifest at the tribunal, some grief will be mixed with the joy, and we shall know shame as we suffer loss. The Tribulation will witness Satans wrath and the persecutions of his man, the Beast (Rev. The Lord performs righteous deedsAnd judgments for all who are oppressed. Rom. 3:7, 10-12). 2:12). 14:10-12; 1 Cor. 19:17-19; 22:29-30; Rev. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Just as He judged the Jews still alive at the end of the Tribulation when Christ personally returns to earth, so He will also judge those Gentiles who remain (Matt. The Tribulation judgments (Matt. But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Of course all sickness, weakness, or suffering is not a product of sin, but it can be and often is (1 Cor. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. 1:18-21; 2:12).
