In a group this size, there are without a doubt some winners and there are some losers. Some will receive rewards, and some will not. Some are going to have prizes, and some are not. We like to think that everybody in heaven will be equal and enjoy exactly the same benefits, but they won't. Every Christian can finish the race and win the prize if he wants to. The Christian race is different in that respect. There could only be one winner in each event, and that winner would likely be the athlete who was most faithful in self-discipline and in rigorous training. You see, he has transported us mentally into the stadium where the famous Greek games were in progress. The Apostle Paul writes about that in 1 Corinthians 9:24, when he says, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it." And just as in any race, there are winners and there are losers. This is not a 100 yard dash this is a marathon. The gun sounded the day we trusted Christ as Savior, and we were off and running, and we will continue to run until the day God calls us home and we see Jesus face to face. We do not want to be ashamed before Him when He comes.Purpose: To encourage us to live our Christian lives in such a way as to win the rewards which God offers us. And we must witness to the unbelievers, so that they might receive (take) the Saviour, and have eternal life, before Jesus comes back again.
The judgment seat of christ full#
Jesus's love should stir (warm) our hearts to full and faithful service. Should also awaken the unbelievers to flee the judgements of God.Ģ. These words should make Christians fear to displease their Lord, and walk righteously before God and man. Then they will be cast into the lake of fire. Yes, after Jesus rules for 1,000 years on the earth, the wicked will be raised and judged at the Great White Throne (platform) for their sins. Is the judgement seat of Christ different from the judgement of the Great White Throne (or the Great White Platform Judgement)?Ģ. Time Jesus will be King on the earth for 1,000 years. Yes, the judgement of nations will be when Christ comes back to the earth with His people from heaven. Will the judgement seat (platform) of Christ be at a different time than the judgement of nations?Ģ. Ephesians 5:27 Revelation 19:7 I Corinthians 13:12 I Thessalonians 4:17.ġ. And we shall live forever with our Master (Lord). After this, we who belong to Jesus shall be present at the marriage of the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus. Then we shall see (understand) ourselves as the Lord Jesus has seen (understood) us. We, one by one, must answer the Lord Jesus for the works we have done in our bodies, whether they were good or bad. Yes, every Christian must stand before Jesus at the place where He sits down as Judge. Will every believer stand before the judgement seat (platform) of Christ?Ģ. But works like (resembling) wood, hay and stubble (timber, grass and rubbish) will be burnt up with no reward.
They will be like gold, silver and precious The works we have done for Him because we love Him will receive eternal reward. He will judge us according to the way we have lived for Him, and the way we have served Him. Why will Jesus have this judgement for His people?Ģ. They will have changed bodies like Jesus Christ had after He arose from the dead. How will believers appear (stand) before Christ?Ģ. God's Book says, "Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Hebrews 10:14,17.ġ. Will Jesus judge His people for their sins?Ģ. After the Lord Jesus comes again to take His people above to be with Himself. God's word says only those who belong to Jesus Christ will be there. Who will appear before the judgement seat (platform) of Christ?Ģ. Tell me, I want to understand more about the Bible.
