6:2-3; 4:8). It is the word used of the crowns promised to believers for faithfulness in the Christian life. 1:15, 18; Rev. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. Because this is a completely different matter. What follows below is a fuller explanation of both terms. This may indicate something of our authority. 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. 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. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. This means that rather than operating by faith in Gods provision, we end up operating in the energy of the flesh. The use of the term judgment seat in most translations, ignorance of the historical and cultural background concerning the Bema, and foggy theology regarding the finished work of Christ have all contributed to several common misconceptions which, in one way or another, see God as giving out just retribution to believers for sin, or at least for our unconfessed sin. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.. Wiki User. Though ones primary focus might be on the future judgments, this study will also cover the judgments of the past and the present because they are related and form a part of the total picture revealed in Scripture. The goal, however, is always to bring us back to Him (Heb. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. Still others today see only the very tail end of the events of Revelation to be the outpouring of the judgment of God and assert that the rest of the events constitute only the wrath or wickedness of man. So it is necessary for believers to judge their own sins in the light of Scripture.2. Eph. And now little children. John is writing to believers. Speaks of Christs work on the cross and stands for His victory over sin, Satan, and death. Rather, the Judgment Seat of Christ is for the body of Christ, the church. 1:18-21; 2:12). Evidently, immediately after Satans fall, God sentenced Satan and his angels condemning them to the Lake of Fire (Matt. So Christians need to examine their hearts and actions for sin according to the Scripture and then judge the sin they find as sin and confess it to the Lord. Chafer and Walvoord have an excellent word on this view: With reference to sin, Scripture teaches that the child of God under grace shall not come into judgment (John 3:18; 5:24; 6:37; Rom. Although there is undeniably some measure of remorse or regret, this is not the overriding emotion to be experienced throughout the eternal state. 13:8-9). The result of this judgment will be that each Christian will be grateful for the reward which he receives, and he will have little or no shame. 6:1; 9:14), of unfruitful deeds (Eph. This is further verified by the time periods of Revelation which divide the tribulation into two periods of three and one-half years (Rev. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor? (1) Christs judgment for sin, dying in the place of the sinner, bearing his sin and judgment on the cross as the sinners substitute. The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. The Scripture teaches that before Messiah can begin to reign, there must be a judgment to determine who will enter into Messiahs kingdom since they are not all Israel (spiritually regenerated believers who put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Messiah) who are Israel (physical descendants only) (Rom. II, Abridged Edition, John F. Walvoord, Editor, Donald K. Campbell, Roy B. Zuck, Consulting Editors, Victor Books, Wheaton, 1988, p. 501. 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? 4:10), Paul may also have in mind a personal crown or reward that he will receive because of their presence at the return of the Lord. In Revelation 4:2 John beheld a throne set in heaven from which the Tribulation judgments proceeded. An interesting and important passage to this study is Acts 24:15-16 because in this passage Paul implicitly made reference to two judgments which are closely related. 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Discipline from God is the gracious work of a Father to train and develop His children. From this passage in Hebrews and others like 1 Corinthians 11:27-32, God disciplines His children for the following reasons: (1) To bring a wayward child who refuses to judge himself back into fellowship (1 Cor. As they refused to follow the light, they were brought to folly in their thoughtsbecame vain in their [corrupt] reasonings, and their foolish [senseless] heart was darkened. The intellectual revolt against what they knew to be right was attended by a darkening of the whole understanding. They emphasize the importance and necessity of faithful living today but reject any thought of forensic punishment at the Bema. 20:5-6). But Scripture shows that even this is a manifestation of Gods wrathful judgment that He will cause to rain on the earth. At the Judgment Seat of Christ believers works will be evaluated to demonstrate whether they are good or bad, and rewards will be conferred (2 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. A Christian believes in a God they have never seen through faith. 16 In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men. When Adam and Eve chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they acted in self-centered independence which was idolatry and sin. A number of things occur at this time. As a result, Bible students have spoken of a time called the Tribulation as that specific future time of trouble as a judgment from God that will come upon the entire world. Of course all sickness, weakness, or suffering is not a product of sin, but it can be and often is (1 Cor. 25:21; Lk. The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? Sin requires a penalty, the penalty of death as Gods holy judgment on sin. The Tribulation judgments (Matt. In all of these passages, Paul was picturing the believer as a competitor in a spiritual contest. Similarly, Paul tells rich people that God gives us richly all things to enjoy. (1 Tim. 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). 19:12). 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. There were also divisions and factions and the focus on personalities rather than the Savior. While salvation is a gift, there are rewards given for faithfulness in the Christian life and loss of rewards for unfaithfulness. 13:12; Eph. But Jesus said to him, No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.. 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. 5:19-21, 26). This seems to be used as a symbol of victory, authority, and responsibility. It is significant that among the final words of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, we find these words of the Lord: Rev. 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. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. 1:18-21), a revelation man has ignored. John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Then all opposing powers against the Lord will be dealt with in judgment (Rev. Regarding the coming of the Spirit and His ministry in the world after the resurrection and ascension to Gods right hand, Christ made the following promise: John 16:8-11 And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. (1) A Thanksgiving Dinner. (5) In Scripture, the church is viewed as the heavenly kingdom and a universal priesthood. It contrasts our crowns with the temporal and temporary treasure of this life. Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the. Why? 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. 1:12; Rev. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 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. 14:12-14; Ezek. Eph. It is a gift through faith, but He rewards us for good works. (1) Stephanos. 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. 8:18-25). Correct me, O Lord, but with justice;Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. The idea is not good in the sense of righteousness versus bad in the sense of evil or sinfulness. Related Topics: Dispensational / Covenantal Theology, Eschatology (Things to Come), J. Hampton Keathley III, Th.M. (6) It is a day of extreme deception and delusion (2 Thess. This is the heritage of the servants of the, And their vindication is from Me, declares the. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. 1:9-16; Gal. 3:6-15). Dan. There is the glorification of living believers in glorified bodies, the resurrection of those believers who have died in the Lord also in glorified bodies, and the translation of both to meet the Lord in the air. Large portions of the populations of the earth will be wiped out suddenly, both human and animal. See Rev. But for now, lest we draw some wrong conclusions, we need to be ever mindful that Gods Word clearly teaches there are specific and very serious consequences, both temporal and eternal, for sin or disobedience. Explain the nature of Gods judgment of believers in this life. 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. The visible return of Jesus Christ (Matt. Why did Christ have to die for us? It is so important to note the emphasis here. Though salvation is by grace and through faith, the saved who come out of the Great Tribulation will be identified by their works in befriending their Jewish brothers. 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. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things. It is used of the seven diadems of the Beast in Revelation 12:3 and 13:1. 20:10). Daniel 9:24-27 shows us that the Tribulation, Daniels Seventieth week, is seven years. 'the fear of God' is If you would like to receive and trust Christ as your personal Savior, you may want to express your faith in Christ by the following prayer: Dear God, I know Im a sinner and that nothing I do can gain heaven or eternal life. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 9:1f; 13:2-3, 11f; Dan. 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. (5) It yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Heb. (2) Daniels Seventieth Week (Daniel 9:24-27). Therefore, at the judgment seat of Christ forensic punishment will not be meted out for the believers sins.15. But those who are not killed by these judgments will be gathered, judged, and the rebels removed with only believers going into the millennial kingdom. As a result, a number of things occurred: (1) they were making a mockery of the significance and meaning of the Lords supper (11:27); (2) they were experiencing personal discipline by the Lord which existed in three conditions, evidently progressively so (11:30, 32); and though not mentioned here, (3) they were producing wood, hay, and stubblethey were losing rewards (1 Cor. In all of these passages, Paul was picturing the believer as a competitor in a spiritual contest. In the King James version. 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. While the following is not exhaustive, it demonstrates that sin in the life of a believer is not a small issue. 24:17). 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. 15:17; Jn. In other words, it was a reward seat and portrayed a time of rewards or loss of rewards following examination. The basis of the judgment is what is found in the two sets of booksthe books which are opened, and the other book, the Book of Life (Rev. 6:18-19; Tit. (2) All believers, regardless of their spiritual state, will be raptured and will stand before the Bema to give an account of their lives and will either receive rewards or lose rewards. 4:5b). Matthew 24-25 set the chronology and thus the time. For instance, Matthew 7 which tells us not to judge, is immediately followed with the command, Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces (Matt. garmin vivoactive 3 vs forerunner 45 5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. 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. 15 If any mans work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. 27:29; Mk. Heaven and earth are seen fleeing from the face of Him who sits on this throne (20:11). 5:11), and of works of the Law (Rom. Why is possession of Gods Son necessary to have eternal life? This would mean that the finest of Christians could be sorrowful throughout eternity. Everything about this time will be unprecedented (Zeph. 28:13). We should not think of discipline as punishment. And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. (1) The sea, a reference to all those who died at sea and were not buried in the earth. I can do nothing on My own initiative. 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. Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. (See Appendix A for an explanation of how to become a Christian.). 18 Samuel Hoyt, The Judgment Seat of Christ in Theological Perspective, Part 2, Bibliotheca Sacra, electronic media. Abide in Him. Abide is a synonym for fellowship which is the subject of the book (1:3-7). Undoubtedly then, one book is the book of works which contains a record of every persons deeds as a witness of the true nature of their spiritual condition. (4) Loss of Opportunities. But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? 6; 9:15, 18; 11:13). For instance, many do not understand that instead of one final judgment, the Bible teaches that there are a series of five to seven future judgments (depending on how they are categorized) that differ in respect to time, purpose, subjects, and circumstances. If you prayed this prayer and truly trusted in the person of Jesus Christ and His death for your sin, then you have been born anew into the family of God. (4) It is designed to produce obedience and to protect them against untimely physical death (Heb. Paul teaches us that the varied forms of the awful sinfulness of man have their beginnings in the rejection of the revelation of God in creation. 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. 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. 6-19; Zech. God has resolved that problem through the person of Jesus Christ. In order to be accepted by God, we must be as good as God is. The judgment seat of Christ might be compared to a commencement ceremony. 2:7), of evil deeds (Col. 1:21; 2 John 11), of dead works (Heb. One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. This is the basis of rewards or the cause of their loss, the abiding, Christ-dependent life. Because of His love, grace and mercy He has not left us without hope and a solution. (10) It is a time of extreme anti-Semitism (Rev. Revelation 20:14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. As the Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, Jesus said, I have come that they (all mankind) may have life, and have it abundantly, a life with meaning and purpose. 25:1-30). To his own master he stands or falls; and stand he will, for the Lord is able to make him stand. And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. And not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming (presence). Please note several things here. The instinct to preserve our lives is the same. Romans 5:19 For as through the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. Two things: (a) This describes all the crowns. 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. 32:3-4). They remind us of our responsibility to abide in the vine. 22:3; 21:4; Isa. They were showing favoritism and hurting other believers rather than showing love and concern as it should be among believers in Christ. When we fail to deal with our sinful ways through honest confession, we grieve the Spirits person and quench His power in our lives. 4:10, 11). 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. 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. 2 One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. Furthermore, we are called upon to make judgments in the sense of evaluations when it comes to selecting elders and deacons, or in dealing with those who have fallen into sin (1 Tim. What becomes the issue for us today? This means that, through coidentification with Christ in His death on the cross, the believers sin nature was also judged, crucified, with Christ in His death so that its power has been broken or neutralized. Such would be inconsistent with the finished work of Christ on the Cross because He totally paid the penalty for our sins. The awesome fact is that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. 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. 2:7; 2:11, 17, 26. 7:9; Matt. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 20:12b, 13b, 15a). 12:1-3 with Rev. Will any punishment be meted out? The expression the judgment seat of Christ in the English Bible has tended to cause some to draw the wrong conclusion about the nature and purpose of this evaluation. but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 3:9). You are now one of Gods children by faith in the Savior. This is further confirmed by the message of the book of Romans where the Apostle shows Israels problem to be one of seeking to establish her own righteousness by keeping the Law rather than accept Gods righteousness by faith in Christ (Rom. The resurrection of the just mentioned in verse 15 will be followed by the Judgment Seat of Christ or the Bema, the place and time when believers will be examined for rewards or their loss (see discussion below). 20:1-3, 7-10; 2 Pet. 2:26). Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea. How Many Times Is The Virgin Mary Mentioned In The Bible?
