In all of these passages, Paul was picturing the believer as a competitor in a spiritual contest. Indeed, He works in us both to will and to do as we volitionally appropriate His grace (Phil. Although Christians apparently will reflect on this earthly life with some regret, they will also realize what is ahead for them in the heavenly life. 11:32); in his standing before God, and on the ground that the penalty for all sinpast, present, and future (Col. 2:13)has been borne by Christ as the perfect Substitute, the believer is not only placed beyond condemnation, but being in Christ is accepted in the perfection of Christ (1 Cor. 19:8 with Dan.

At the Great White Throne Judgment the Book of Life is produced to show that the participants name was not found written in the Book of Life because of their rejection of Jesus Christ. 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. It is particularly a time of judgment on those who dwell upon the earth which seems to be a technical term in Revelation meaning earth dweller, a reference to those who have no interest in the things of God (cf. It is great because it is the final judgment and puts an end to all judgment for all time. 5:10; 1 John 2:28). As a child of God, you are, however, a babe in Christ and you need to grow and be spiritually nourished and built up in the things of Christ. Gen 18:19-Psa 54:1 2. 26:10; Mark 14:6; Rom. 4:10-11).

(1) A Thanksgiving Dinner. English strikes a proper balance on this subject. 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? Our God is a God of justice, as the psalmist says, A scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom (Psalm 45:6). 9:24-25). Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. They insist that the tribulation is not the judgment of God, but comes from man and Satan bringing persecution to all. Matthew 7:1 Verse Concepts Do not judge so that you will not be judged. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells of a time when people will be separated into two groups, one entering into his presence, the other banished to eternal fire.. 6; 9:15, 18; 11:13). How then do we receive Gods Son that we may have the eternal life God has promised us? 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. Since the events mentioned in Daniel 9:26 (the cutting off of Messiah and the destruction of city and sanctuary) had to occur after the 69 weeks of years had run their course but before the seventieth week begins, there has to be a space of time, the parenthesis of the church age, between the conclusion of the sixty-ninth week and the beginning of the seventieth. Sin always has its consequences and the Doctrine of the Judgments calls our attention to both the reality and nature of the consequences of sin. WebFor judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. 17 Fritz Rienecker, Linguistic Key to the Greek New Testament, Cleon L.

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.

Romans 3:24-26 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. I believe Jesus Christ died for me and rose from the grave. Romans 14:1-5 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. All who have died without faith in Jesus Christregardless of their status in human history, religiously, politically, economically, or morallymust stand before this throne of judgment. Matt 23:23-Rev 19:11 Gen 18:19 Tools So that points us to the purpose, the return of the Savior and what it will mean. 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. 4:4-6, 22). 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.

This always results in moral devolution and degeneration. (14) It is a time of unprecedented evangelism (Rev. The victor of a given event who participated according to the rules was led by the judge to the platform called the Bema. And not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming (presence).

One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. This he said, signifying what death he should die." The Bible tells us that there will come a time when every person shall stand before God to face final judgment ( Hebrews 9:27 ). This is none other than the Lord Jesus who is even now examining our lives and will bring to light the true nature of our walk and works when we stand before Him at the Bema (Rev. Compare Isaiah 13:6-22 = judgment; but 14:1-3 the result which is peace, Israel regathered and in blessing (Joel 1:15f 2:1f, 12-18f; 3:1f).

Walvoord, editor, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1974, p. 282. The judgment of the cross. Adam and Eve died spiritually and began to die physically. Every believer will give an account of himself, and the Lord will judge the decisions he madeincluding those concerning issues of It will begin with an apparent time of prosperity and peace created by this one world government under the deceptions of the man of lawlessness. Then all opposing powers against the Lord will be dealt with in judgment (Rev. 10:1-4; Phil. 12:2; Isa. This is why earlier the Apostle called them fleshly (the Greek sarkikos, adapted to, controlled by the flesh) (3:3). The judgment of the cross. 11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. 2:15). Evidently, immediately after Satans fall, God sentenced Satan and his angels condemning them to the Lake of Fire (Matt. 24:41). (a) The verb is what we call in Greek an aorist subjunctive, and with the basic meaning of this verb, the grammar points to a future act, but not a continuous state. Specifically, this is the dead of the second resurrection, the resurrection of the unjust, the resurrection unto the second death mentioned in Revelation 20:5-6, 12-14, and John 5:29b. 24:29-31). God gives us salvation. This is a narrative telling of the wrath of God. Here each unbelievers eternal destiny is declared and determined with ample proof and reason. Though the death of Christ does not obliterate the presence of the sin nature and though it is still a powerful enemy (Rom. The Point: Jesus who is God is our examiner and rewarder. Gods discipline is patterned after the principles of Proverbs 13:24 which read: He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently. Discipline is an evidence of love. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. The penalty for the believers sins has been fully paid for by Christ, the believers substitute. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. 15 If any mans work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire.. Jesus took this judgment upon Himself by His crucifixion and death. It will become unprecedented in its affliction as suggested by the description, the Great Tribulation (Matt. Sometimes this comes in the form of various kinds of testing, trials, failure, and predicaments which He uses to correct us, to train us, and, if we have been going our own stubborn way, to increase our misery. However, just like in the Old Testament, its appearance depends on the version of your Bible. The Book of Life contains the names of believers, those justified by faith and who have a righteousness from God imputed to their account. The idea is not good in the sense of righteousness versus bad in the sense of evil or sinfulness. How many times is 'I' mentioned in the Bible? 1:30; Eph. Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. While salvation is a gift, there are rewards given for faithfulness in the Christian life and loss of rewards for unfaithfulness. However, many people do not understand that instead of one final judgment, we read from the Scriptures that there are a series of 7 future judgments. 1:13a). 2:14-16), and the revelation of God-consciousness in creation so that they are without excuse (Rom. It is mentioned 12,440 times. 9:24-25). The result is the one world system of the Beast as described in Revelation. 15:23); (2) the resurrection of the church age saints at the rapture (1 Thess. This he said, signifying what death he should die." Both sections being with a judge from a wealthy family, but while Othniel is associated with the God-fearing Caleb, Jephthahs father beds a prostitute. It is called a throne because here the Lord Jesus Christ will sit in absolute majesty and sovereign authority to consign a Christ-rejecting world to the eternal Lake of Fire. Also, Matthew 25:21, 23 and Luke 19:17-19 show us our rewards consist of authority over either many things or many cities. 12 Zane Hodges, Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society, Autumn, 1991, p. 7. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 2:12-13). The ten plagues against Egypt at the time of the exodus were mighty acts of judgment (Exodus 7:4) against a stubborn, cruel king and an idolatrous people and their gods (Exodus 12:12). After the fall of Adam and Eve, and as a judgment for mankinds disobedience regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:17), certain curses or judgments were placed upon Satan (the promise of his final doom), upon Adam and Eve, and upon the earth. 12:1-3 with Rev. 11:31-32; Ps. 1:18-21; 2:12). The purpose and the basis is the most critical issue of all and brings us face to face with the practical aspects of the Bema. While the Bema is going on in heaven (with the church in the Lords presence) a series of terrible judgments will begin to unfold on the earth for a period of seven years to be culminated by the return and manifestation of Christ to earth as the Great White Horse Rider of Revelation 19. 3:13-15 each mans 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 mans work. Matthew 25:1-30 shows that God will judge living Israel to separate the saved from the unsaved. This crown is a reward promised to Elders for faithfulness in the discharge of their responsibilities in shepherding the people. Since love is a preeminent virtue in Christianity, true selfishness often involves a pursuit of self-interest that violates the law of love.12. Carnal believers have no vision other than their own personal agendas and selfish goals (cf. 10:14) and loved of God as Christ is loved (John 17:23).9, Again, Chafer writes concerning the Bema, It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the judgment is unrelated to the problem of sin, that it is more for the bestowing of rewards than the rejection of failure.10. 14:10-12; 1 Cor. Compare also: 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Prosochthiz (verb, 2 times): this is to provoke or be provoked to anger. (4) It is designed to produce obedience and to protect them against untimely physical death (Heb. It was there Christ paid the penalty for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2). 20:12b, 13b, 15a). In August of 2001 he was diagnosed with lung cancer and on August 29th, 2002 he went home to be with the Lord. Though anticipated as certain and viewed as accomplished, this sentence against Satan and his evil host will not be carried out until after the millennial reign of Christ (cf. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 
Then God will open the books. They could enjoy themselves freely provided they abstained from eating from the one forbidden tree. With the Spirit back in control and the believer in fellowship (in the state of abiding in the Vine) he or she can then produce fruit for which they will receive rewards at the Bema. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea. These could refer to special blessing of rewards to those believers who overcomer special trials and tests rather than a general promise to all believers. For the Christian, the future reality of this event should cause deep concern because of the many (including some of our friends and relatives) who will face this throne of judgment because they never received the Savior by faith. Jesus said in John 12:31-33, "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Added to this are the declarations of the following verses of Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
