"The Judgment Seat of Christ"


“The Judgment Seat of Christ”



For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for their deeds in the body, according to what they have done, whether good or bad.      2 Corinthians 5:10



This event will take place AFTER the RAPTURE of the Church, (the true believers).  The TRUE BELIEVERS are the ONLY ONES that will be at the Judgment Seat of Christ.  They will NOT be JUDGED for their sins, because Jesus Christ has already taken care of that.  The Judgment Seat of Christ is NOT to determine whether they are SAVED or NOT.  SALVATION is NOT the issue here.  The JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST, is for the TRUE BELIEVER’S works to be JUDGED and the MOTIVES for those deeds. 



Their GOOD WORKS, which are carried out by FAITH, a LABOR of LOVE and the STEADFASTNESS of their HOPE in the Lord JESUS Christ, they will RECEIVE REWARDS that they have earned.  But the WORKS that were done, in order to be patted on the back, and to receive PRAISE from MANKIND, the WORKS that were carried out by PRIDE and the DESIRE to be NOTICED by others, the WORKS, they could BRAG about, they all will be BURNED-UP.  Those are the BAD works, BECAUSE they were carried out in the FLESH, with FLESHLY MOTIVES.



The Apostle Paul tells us that; “each person’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with FIRE, and the FIRE itself will test the quality of EACH person’s work.  If anyone’s work which they have built on it remains, they will receive a reward.  If anyone’s work is BURNED-UP, they will suffer LOSS; but they themselves will be SAVED, yet as through fire.”  (1Corinthians 3:13-15)



Now, the questions are: 1.  Will you be at the JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST, and are you SERVING Him by FAITH?  Will you receive many or ANY rewards?  OR 2.  Will you have to be JUDGED by the ALMIGHTY GOD, at the GREAT WHITE THRONE of JUDGMENT for your SINS, because you have REJECTED GOD’S gift of SALVATION, through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST? And you WILL face CONDEMNATION and be SENTENCED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY of ESCAPE, after you are there. 



However, God has a PLAN for you to FOLLOW, if you want to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESSING your sins to Him, and ASKING Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before GOD.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and SERVE the LORD by FAITH, in a LABOR of LOVE, and a STEADFAST HOPE in Him.  And STAND before the JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST to RECEIVE ALL your REWARDS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
