So we know that judgment doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus judging us for sin – but that still doesn’t answer the question – what kind of judgment is it? The Judgment Seat of Christ God judging us for our sins would be like saying that Christ’s blood wasn’t sufficient for our complete salvation.
God cannot judge the believer for their sins because he already put the entirety of his wrath and righteous punishment for those sins on the person of Jesus Christ on the cross – “who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree,” (1Pe. Sin is already dealt with in our case, we are completely declared righteous in the sight of God for all of eternity by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ accessed by our faith in him, (Rom. But it isn’t a judgment in the sense of judging us according to our sins. This judgment is the one that is especially for believers. Remember, this is a different judgment from the final judgment where the believers and unbelievers are separated for eternity (Rev. 4:3-5 ESV So we get judged? How? For sin? Then each one will receive his commendation from God.” – 1Co. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.” – 1Co. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. Now if any builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw – each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” – 2Co. Paul talks about this in 1 Corinthians 3 and 4, and 2 Corinthians 5 – The reality is, however, that all believers – yes believers – will stand before the judgment seat of Christ when they die or if they are alive when Christ returns. And honestly, it isn’t taught much in modern day evangelical churches because as 21st century believers in Christ we don’t like the idea of judgement. There is a certain sense and hope that we won’t disappoint Jesus with our actions because, to a certain extent, we all know we have.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVETH, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.When believers who are genuinely concerned for their own growth in Christ, and honestly know their own actions to be imperfect and struggle with the flesh, look at the judgment seat of Christ, they often shy away from it. If you are a WHOSEVER, you have eternal life. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that BELIEVETH on me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
John 3:18 Believers can no longer be condemned to hell, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God.īelievers believe Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. James Kraft 74 year old retired pipeline worker First John 2:2.
