Judgement Seat of Christ

Because past sins have already been forgiven, I think we will be judged for the deeds not done. Our works.

 

It is not a guilt or innocence judgement. We have Jesus. It is a judgement of our works, whether they were done purely for God, or for self gain, or selfish reasons. You could say wheterh or not they are done for the right reasons. Our reward in heaven will only be for those done unslefishly, truly for God. The others are nothing more then what we inteded to be good works, and weren't, as filthy rags to be cast away.

 

You are judged for how well you ran the race of faith. That would include replacing the worthless fruits of darkness with the fruits of righteousness.

 

My personal belief is that we will have to replay our lives before the Lord, with every word and thought exposed. We will be rewarded for the works that we did for Him, and we will see the rewards that we did not receive for whatever reason (inaction, moving ahead of the Spirit, selfish conceit, etc.). I believe that there will be tears before the judgement seat, but Jesus will be there to cover each offense.

In Christ,

I sure hope it's not penmanship.

 

I think when you are saved your sins are washed away by the blood and you kind of start all over. So I think we will be judged with everything good or bad after we were saved. I mean our everday life deeds, thoughts, actions etc...

 

1CO 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.


2CO 5:9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

 

Hello,

All the answers I've heard so far is just folks repeaing what they heard from a pulpit. Where in ther Bible does anybody even come close to saying that the judgement seat of Christ is a judgement for works-rewards only because you are already saved? The judgement seat of Christ is the same as the Great White Throne Judgement and the same as the Matthew 25 Judgement. It's one judgement not many. I understand that make your theology work out( Carnal Christian theory) and fit you have to say the Judgement of Christ is only for Christians, but isn't Christ God? It's not a seperate judgment. Stop taking everything you hear from a pulpit as fact and be like the bereans from Acts. Judgment for works-rewards? Nonsense, the Bible SAYS nothing of the kind!

How about Matt 25:14-30????

Jesus shall tell to the lazy SERVANT, go to 'outer darkness' - hell.

Judgement seat of Christ is not just for our works only, also, judge our fruit and sins too!!!

In Christ
Rev. 22:20 - Amen!

p.s. I will continue discuss on osas too.

 

Judgment in this passage unintentionally implies a negative result. If Paul intended such, he would have used the word "kreno". Instead, Paul said "bema". It is a reward kind of judgment. When I said that it is based on how well we run, our reward will be our enjoyment of the riches of Christ.

Unbelievers are not rewarded with anything. They are paid death because that is what wages demand.

 

Later, I will show you verses to prove there is only ONE judgement day in the Bible.

Pretrib teaches there are three different judgement days in the Bible.

But, the Bible does not saying it.

I will show verses to you about it later, not today, wait till next Monday.

In Christ
Rev. 22:20 - Amen!

 

The Bible does not explicitly say when the Judgment seat of Christ takes place. Most assume that it takes place shortly after the rapture. It might or it might not.

There are at the very least two judgment times.

One is when the Lord returns to earth (Matt. 25).

The other is the Great White judgment (Rev. 20).

All premillenial views agree with the above.

Only amill, postmill, and preterism, (all of which are horrible representations of truth) disagree.

 

Amen, Gunther!

In Christ,

Five Judgements

The Lord God is a judging God.

"To judge" can mean three things in the Holy Bible:

A. to discern between good and evil (human function)
B. to condemn, usually falsely (human function)
C. to reward the just & punish the evil (Godly function)

The Five Judgements:

1. Believers for SIN on the Cross
WHO: All who will Believe
WHEN: 33AD
WHERE: Jerusalem
WHY: The Lord God is a merciful God.
HOW: The Grace of God through Messiah Jesus
WHAT: found innocent by the Bood of Jesus

How to get from judgement 1 to judgement 2
(and avoid judgements 3, 4, or 5):

Romans 10:9 (KJV): "That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from
the dead, thou shalt be saved."

2. Judgement Seat of Christ
WHO: Believers for works
WHEN: during the Great Tribulation on earth;
Right after the Rapture/Resurrection that starts
the Tribulation
WHERE: Heaven
WHY: to assign rewards to the redeemed for their good works
HOW: The Grace of God through Messiah Jesus
WHAT: found innocent by the Bood of Jesus

3. Judgement of Yisrael under Antichrist
(Ezekiel 22:17-22 Time of Jacob's Trouble; Ezekiel 20:34-38;
Jeremiah 30:1-24; Revelation 6-19)
WHO: Yisrael
WHEN: during the Tribulation
WHERE: earth
WHY: The Lord God fulfills His promises
HOW: The wrath of God by Messiah Jesus
WHAT: Great Tribulation

4. Throne of His Glory judgement
WHO: the nations: the living survivers of the Great Tribulation
WHEN: after the Great Tribulation, before the Millennial Age
WHERE: Jerusalem
WHY: The Lord God fulfills His promises: God will bless those
who bless Yisrael and curse those who curse Yisrael
HOW: Judged by their treatment of Yisrael
WHAT: the cursed to Hell; the blessed to the Millennial Age

5. Great White Throne judgement
WHO: the wicked dead
WHEN: after the Millennial Age; before endless ages
WHERE: between Hell and the Lake of Fire
WHY: The Lord God is not mocked
HOW: The wrath of God by Messiah Jesus
WHAT: the Messiah rejectors consigned to endless punishment

NOTE: The delineation of the five revealed
judgements above does not preclude other specific
or general judgements. One place on the net i found
a chart where TWENTY-FOUR judgements were delineated.
The Lord God is a judging God and His hand is not shortened
by His revelation to us nor
by our understaning of His revelation to us.

May Jesus our Savior and our Lord be Praised!
