1:9-16; Gal. But the point of Scripture is that even this is a part of Gods judgment upon a world that has sought its answers apart from the true God. As Paul declares in Romans 5:1-2: Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Carnality causes broken relationships and pain to those around usour families, friends, associates, and co-workers in the body of Christ (Gal. The order of Gods resurrection program which includes the judgment of rewards would seem to be: (1) the resurrection of Christ as the beginning of the resurrection program (1 Cor. 9:25). 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Wiki User. For the non-Christian, the one who has never trusted in the person and work of Jesus Christ, it should cause him to want to search out the truth regarding Jesus Christ, to embrace Him in faith as the Savior from his sin and eternal doom. 11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. Before God, we all stand naked, helpless, and hopeless in ourselves. (2) It is a time of Gods wrath or indignation and the vindication of Gods holinessZeph. Reasons for this will be set forth and developed as we study the nature, purpose, and basis for the Bema. (2) In Revelation 19:8, when the Lord returns with His bride at the end of the tribulation, she is seen already rewarded. 5 One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. 3:14-15). In the eternal state there will be no place for that which reminds men of the rebellions of Satan and man with all its wickedness and sorrow (Rev. 1:13), that all have sinned and come short of Gods glory (Rom. Evident is phaneros which means known, plain, visible, revealed as to it nature. The day refers to a day well known and refers to the day of the Bema after the rapture of the church. The elements of remorse, regret, and shame cannot be avoided in an examination of the judgment seat of Christ. 21:4). 1-2; 1 Cor. 6-19; Zech. In other words, when we fail to honestly judge sin in our lives it spills over in one area after another. (NIV). 1:15). If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? (3) Hades, a reference to the place of torments, the compartment which contains the souls of all unbelievers (Luke 16:23). Two important questions must be asked and answered: According to Romans 5:8, God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Though the death of Christ does not obliterate the presence of the sin nature and though it is still a powerful enemy (Rom. 20:10). He said to the judges, Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord who is with you when you render judgment. This book also reveals that even when men do not have the written Word, they have the law of God written in their hearts (Rom. 24:41). Hampton wrote many articles for the Biblical Studies Foundation and on More, Getting Spiritually Fit 1 ( Corinthians 9:24-27), Steps to Biblical Reconciliation (Luke 17:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:15-21). 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. This crown is a reward given for witnessing, follow-up, and ministry to others. He wants those who have not trusted in Christ to understand the judgments that this might motivate them to trust in Christ as their personal Savior because He bore the judgment for their sin in their place. When the Bible speaks of the last judgment, it is not similar to taking a final test to see whether we pass or fail. That type of judgment has already taken place. This last judgment is the public recognition of decisions long-since made. The last judgment is also known as the Great White Throne judgment. It is significant that among the final words of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, we find these words of the Lord: Rev. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 6:17; I Thess. For the Lord will execute judgment by fireAnd by His sword on all flesh,And those slain by the Lord will be many. The real issue is whether ones name is in the Book of Life, not ones deeds. 2:22; 7:14). The Books: The identity of the books is not specifically revealed and we can only speculate from a comparison of other passages of Scripture and from the nature of these verses. Although there is undeniably some measure of remorse or regret, this is not the overriding emotion to be experienced throughout the eternal state. The Lords return and what this means not only to the world but to us individually is a very prominent subject of the New Testament. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn.This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,And their vindication is from Me, declares the Lord. 1:18-21), a revelation man has ignored. (2) It is part of the training process by which Gods children are brought into the experience of Gods holiness (Heb. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. Knowing and having the hope of the resurrection and all that this means to the Christian, the Apostle spoke of his commitment to maintain a clear conscience, one cleared by confession and the forsaking of all known sin (1 John 1:9; Prov. 10:1-4; Phil. 7:25; Rev. 9-11). When we fail to deal with our sinful ways through honest confession, we grieve the Spirits person and quench His power in our lives. Commenting on this Samuel Hoyt writes: Within the church today there exists considerable confusion and debate regarding the exact nature of the examination at the judgment seat of Christ. As seen in the above section dealing with self-judgment, the New Testament clearly teaches us that one of the ministries of our heavenly Father is the ministry of loving discipline. The crowns of royalty which stand for Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lord who alone has the right to rule and judge the world. 3 And why do you look at the speck that is in your brothers eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 24:21. 12:7). All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. 32:3-5). WebIn actuality, the New Testament reveals six distinct judgments which will impact current and future inhabitants of earth. 32:3-4). 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of mens hearts; and then each mans praise will come to him from God. 6-19). It was there Christ paid the penalty for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2). And no place was found for them, i.e., for heaven and earth. It is not punitive. But, to stress that Christ is King of Kings, this word is also used of the many diadems the Lord will wear at His return (Rev. Jn. We should not think of discipline as punishment. The details of this will be developed in a summarized fashion in the material that follows. 25:21; Lk. The Book of Life contains the names of believers, those justified by faith and who have a righteousness from God imputed to their account. As the victorious Grecian athlete appeared before the Bema to receive his perishable award, so the Christian will appear before Christs Bema to receive his imperishable award. 0. 15 If any mans work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. 7:1-9). But this will only be momentary or short-lived at best in view of passages like Revelation 7:17; 21:4 and Isaiah 65:17. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. 5:2). One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. The phrase Son of Man occurs 195 times in the Old and New Testaments. 2:8), but a reward for enduring trials and overcoming temptation. But man is separated from God by the problem of Sin. 7 Trumpet Judgments Unnamed Books of Judgment. This is the good news of the Bible, the message of the gospel. Ezek. (1) All the passages dealing with the Bema or rewards are addressed to believers or pertain to believers of the church (Rom. 17:22; 14:30). But Scripture shows that even this is a manifestation of Gods wrathful judgment that He will cause to rain on the earth. In Scripture, the Day of the Lord is often associated with this time of great judgment which God will pour out on earth against Israel and the nations, but it is also associated with the time of millennial blessings which follow when the Lord will rule on earth. WebAs it will be shown below, though it is tremendously serious with eternal ramifications, 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. 7:18, 22, 27. 2:12-13). (1) To evaluate the quality of every believers work whether it is good or bad, i.e., acceptable and thus worthy of rewards, or unacceptable, to be rejected and unworthy of rewards. (1) A Thanksgiving Dinner. 8:18-25). 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. This was the royal crown, the crown of a king. 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). 2 One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. Eph. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. This event will occur immediately following the rapture or resurrection of the church after it is caught up to be with the Lord in the air as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. All believers will live in the millennium and in eternity with the Lord. The judgment seat of Christ might be compared to a commencement ceremony. 2:15). 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. The idea is not good in the sense of righteousness versus bad in the sense of evil or sinfulness. 1:13; Isa. The text reads: Acts 24:15-16 having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a re 2:7), of evil deeds (Col. 1:21; 2 John 11), of dead works (Heb. 2:2 the ruler of the kingdom of the air, NIV [air is the Greek, aer, the atmospheric heavens]). (7) Loss of Physical Health and Vitality. Do not judge so that you will not be judged. Scripture teaches that Christs death was all-sufficient, completely satisfying Gods wrath toward sin in the believer. But this happens as a judgment from God against mans arrogant independence. John 12:48 is very pertinent here: He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. Because Christ has born our judgment by being made a curse in our place: Romans 5:1 Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. They are resurrected, gathered before the throne and actually behold the dissolution of heaven and earth as a foreboding preparation for their judgment. Correct me, O Lord, but with justice;Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. The judge at the Bema bestowed rewards to the victors. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly. 1 Cor. This in no way suggests a permanent condition. All fall short of the glory of Godthe immoral, moral, and religious (Rom. 9 Lewis Sperry Chafer, Major Bible Themes: 52 Vital Doctrines of the Scripture Simplified and Explained, rev. Carnal believers have no vision other than their own personal agendas and selfish goals (cf. Hoyt has a good summary of what this passage is talking about and involves: The Bible suggests that there will be shame at the judgment seat of Christ to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the measure of unfaithfulness of each individual believer. 5:8). Those judged are the dead, great and small, those who had no part in the first resurrection (Rev. 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. Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. (2) Death, a reference to all those who were buried in graves in the ground, cremated, or destroyed in any other way on earth. Such would be inconsistent with the finished work of Christ on the cross because He totally paid the penalty for our sins. See answer (1) Best Answer. Then all opposing powers against the Lord will be dealt with in judgment (Rev. 4:8; Rev. (5) The hour of testing which shall try the whole earth (Rev. 14:7, 10; 19:2). Biblical Verses related to The Day Of Judgement. Just as He judged the Jews still alive at the end of the Tribulation when Christ personally returns to earth, so He will also judge those Gentiles who remain (Matt. How do we know who falls into the category of swine, those incapable of appreciating the truth, if we do not make certain judgments? This is the second death, the lake of fire. 6:23; Eph. Some people are troubled by the doctrine of rewards because this seems to suggest merit instead of grace, and because, it is pointed out, we should only serve the Lord out of love and for Gods glory. 2:12-14 [note the emphasis on good works]). Such would be inconsistent with the finished work of Christ on the Cross because He totally paid the penalty for our sins. But these were not the only consequences of failing to judge sin in their lives. It will occur somewhere in the heavenlies in the presence of the Lord. (4) It is a day of destruction and global catastrophes (Joel 1:15; 2:3; 1 Thess. 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. They were assembling themselves with other believers and partaking of the Lords supper, but they were out of fellowship with the Lord and were controlled by the sinful nature, the flesh, rather than by the Holy Spirit. 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. Of course all sickness, weakness, or suffering is not a product of sin, but it can be and often is (1 Cor. While the following is not exhaustive, it demonstrates that sin in the life of a believer is not a small issue. Why? 26:19).5. Compare also Ephesians 4:17-19: This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. Because of this, He cannot have fellowship with anyone who does not have perfect righteousness (Hab. (Emphasis mine.). This is a serious matter with consequences both for time and eternity since the failure to do so leads not only to the loss of rewards, but the judgment of Gods discipline of His believing children as a loving Father and as the Vine Dresser who must prune the vine for production (Heb. The principle here is that Jesus Christ died for their sins no matter how evil that He might forgive them and give them a righteousness from God that they may have a perfect standing before God. 24:17). The Tribulation judgments (Matt. Then in anticipation of His death on the cross, the Lord spoke of Satans judgment and doom in John 12:31; 16:11, and Luke 10:18-19. It is an awesome and solemn scene and one which should cause everyone to stop and think about the eternal implications of this future event. So, it is only fitting that He also judge the old earth and heavens that has been the arena of Satans activity and mans sin and rebellion. This crown is a reward given for faithfulness to use our gifts and opportunities in the service of the Lord and for loving His appearing. (3) The Promise of Accolades or Commendations. 1:18-21; 2:12). Matthew 24-25 set the chronology and thus the time. According to Romans 1:18-32, when men turn away from the knowledge of God revealed so vividly in creation, God, as an expression of His holy wrath, turns men over to their own devices and foolish imaginations. As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord God. Unfortunately, this condition had continued because some of these believers had failed to examine their hearts and judge their sin by honest confession followed by a commitment to deal with it in the power of the Spirit (11:28, 31). Therefore it should be each believers impelling desire to be well-pleasing to the Lord in all things. Q. Why? (3) The recompense (NASB) or the receive back (KJV) of 2 Corinthians 5:10 refers to the dispensing of rewards or their loss. Jesus Christ, the sinless and perfect Son of God, the only one who could qualify as our substitute, died to satisfy the demands of Gods absolute holiness. The only exception is the person of Jesus Christ who, through the virgin birth, escaped the sin problem that is normally passed down from generation to generation. This would mean that the finest of Christians could be sorrowful throughout eternity. 59:2). A few verses after Phil 1:6, Paul mentions the day of Jesus Christ again. Some Bible teachers view the judgment seat as a place of intense sorrow, a place of terror, and a place where Christ display all the believers sins (or at least those unconfessed) before the entire resurrected and raptured church. 1:9; 2:9, 10). But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 24:4-26). Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. All sinful deeds, thoughts, and motives, as well as all good deeds done in the energy of the flesh will be consumed like wood, hay, and stubble before a fire because they are unworthy of reward. There the laurel wreath was placed on his head as a symbol of victory (cf. But Jesus said to him, No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.. Some today refuse to distinguish between the general tribulations of this age that the church will endure, and the unique, universal, and unprecedented Tribulation that will come. Daniel 9:24-27 shows us that the Tribulation, Daniels Seventieth week, is seven years. He said to the judges, Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and, the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 3:9). (c) There are two views: (1) The believer who fails to abide is made to feel shame by the Lord, i.e., the Lord puts him to shame. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. 9:1f; 13:2-3, 11f; Dan. To overdo the sorrow aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to make heaven hell. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. How can a person possess or have the Son of God? The subject receives the action, that is, he is made to feel shame. and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. It is discipline designed to train and bring believers back to a walk with God. God can therefore find no cause for accusing the Christian judicially any more than He can find cause for accusing Jesus Christ. The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Terms used of this period. This judgment proves them sinners and in need of the righteousness which God freely gives through faith in Jesus Christ. (1) The Crown of Thorns (Matt. Though believers are under no condemnation in respect to their sins, having been justified by faith (John 3:18; 5:24; Rom. This is further verified by the time periods of Revelation which divide the tribulation into two periods of three and one-half years (Rev. Some of the Christians at Corinth were being externally religious. Biblically, the word tribulation comes from the Greek word thlipsis which means affliction, distress. In the Bible it is used (1) in general of any kind of testing or affliction or distress which people experience throughout life, and especially of the church and her problems in this world (John 16:33; Rom. John 12:31 with Rev. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 5:4). 5:1; 8:1; 1 Cor. Compare the following passages: 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. After which God selected him to lead his people out of slavery. The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. The judgment of the antediluvian world (Genesis 7:1724). All their hopes and dreams had been placed in an earth and system that was passing away (1 John 2:17), and now they see it dissolve before their very eyes. Colossians 2:10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; These verses state the complete results or conclusion: Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more. The refusal to accept the truth destroys the power to discriminate between truth and error.1. Therefore, at the judgment seat of Christ forensic punishment will not be meted out for the believers sins.15. Emphasis is placed on the fact that each Christian must give an account of his life before the omniscient and holy Christ. 15:23); (2) the resurrection of the church age saints at the rapture (1 Thess. 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. 1 Cor. It came about the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning until the evening. John 1:12: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, {even} to those who believe in His name. Why did Christ have to die for us? 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. In other words, it was a reward seat and portrayed a time of rewards or loss of rewards following examination. Her reward is described as fine linen, the righteous acts of the saintsundoubtedly the result of rewards. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 6:1; 9:14), of unfruitful deeds (Eph. 12:2; Isa. The point, then, is this: Because of the perfect and finished nature of Christs death (note the words who died for us of verse 10), whether we are spiritually alert or not, we will live together with Him through the rapture to face the examination of the Bema. 12:11). The result is the one world system of the Beast as described in Revelation. After our glorification, there will be no sinful nature to produce envy, or jealousy, or resentment, or feelings of dissatisfaction. (1) Stephanos. 9:27). (6) It is a day of extreme deception and delusion (2 Thess. In other words, God has removed Satan and his demons, the False Prophet and the Beast, and is about to judge the rest of the unbelieving dead. This day of judgment, also known as the Final Judgment, is when Jesus, the Son of God, will judge the living and the dead before destroying the old heaven and earth, which are corrupted of sin.
