Topic:
THE CHURCH: IT'S FUTURE (THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST)
TEXTS: 2Cor.5: 10, Rm.14: 10-13, Jn 2:28, 1Cor.3: 11-15, Col.3: 174
Memory Verse:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ that each one
may receive the things done in the body, according
to what he has done whether good or bad. (2Cor.5: 10) NKJV
INTRODUCTION
The believers¡¯ works will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ
.The term "judgment seat of Christ" is found only twice in the Bible, 2Cor.5: 10
and Rm. 14:10 but it is referred to many times. A careful reading of those verses with
the context reveals that only believers will appear before ¡°the judgment seat of Christ".
Their works will be judged not their sins because the sins of the believers were already
judge in Christ on Calvary, and so "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who
are in Christ Jesus;
who do not walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Rm.8: 1) NKJV.
STUDY:
<- THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH IN THE AIR. (2)
This judgment will take place ¡°in the air¡±, following the first resurrection, ¡°The dead in Christ will rise first¡± (1Thess.4: 14-18).
There will be a thousand years between the resurrections of the saved and the unsaved. (Rev. 20:4-5), and there will be a thousand years between the judgment seat of Christ, where only the saved will appear and the ¡°great white throne judgment¡± where only the unsaved will appear to be judged for their sins and unbelief.
- . At the judgment seat of Christ, the believer will give account of himself to God. Therefore, we should look to our own works and not judge the works of others. (Rm.14: 10-13).
- . It is a most humbling thought to know that some day, the believer will face all of his works-¡°good or bad¡±. Some will be ashamed (1Jn.2: 28) and ¡°suffer loss¡±- not the loss of salvation but the loss of rewards. (1Cor.3: 11-15).
- So whatever you do, do it to the glory of God. (Col.3: 17)
In our next study, we shall be looking the believers¡¯ rewards.
