The real issue is whether ones name is in the Book of Life, not ones deeds. 1-2; 1 Cor. 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. 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. 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? 6:18-19; Tit. 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. As to the immediate consequences, some were weak (feeble, a loss of energy), some were sick (probably chronic disease), and some were asleep (physical death, sin unto death) (11:30). This would mean that the finest of Christians could be sorrowful throughout eternity. This is evident from 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and Revelation 4:2 and 19:8. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. (1) In Luke 14:12-14, reward is associated with the resurrection and the rapture is when the church is resurrected. 15:23); (2) the resurrection of the church age saints at the rapture (1 Thess. (3) The resurrection (rapture) and Bema of the church concludes this parenthesis, the church age, but Old Testament saints (the righteous dead) are not resurrected and rewarded until after the seventieth week when God concludes His program with Israel as far as the seventy weeks of Daniel are concerned. Yet Ryries Notes Say Otherwise. 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any mans work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. (10) It is a time of extreme anti-Semitism (Rev. This is the good news of the Bible, the message of the gospel. Do Those Who Commit Suicide Go To Hell? So the order of events will be (a) the rapture which includes our glorification or resurrection bodies, (b) exaltation into the heavens with the Lord, (c) examination before the Bema, and (d) compensation or rewards. At the other end of the spectrum another group, which holds to the same eschatological chronology, views this event as an awards ceremony. Of course we should serve the Lord out of love and for Gods glory, and understanding the nature of rewards will help us do that. 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. Our rewards seem to primarily be a matter of responsibility and maybe opportunities, but they will not be like badges or medals we wear as in the military. (4) The Great Day, the one of their wrath (Rev. Isaiah 38:17 Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; It is Thou who hast kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back. 1 Cor. Romans 6:4-11 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5:8). The Principle. The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and This was the victors crown, the wreath given to the victorious athlete before the judge at the Bema. 2:19; Phil. 4:5f; 2 Cor. 1:12; Rev. 2:12-13), but the decision to serve, and the diligence employed in doing so, are our responsibility and our contribution and God sees this as rewardable. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. The word throne is used more than 30 times in Revelation, but this throne, the great white one, is to be distinguished from all others as the most significant one of all. 5:11), and of works of the Law (Rom. Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day, And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind., Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.. 3:9-10, 23). The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments that people will face after death. 12:9; Rom. 1:9; 2:9, 10). 7:1-9). Eph. The victor of a given event, who had participated according to the rules, was led by the judge to the platform called the Bema. This is his term of endearment for his readers as born again people. This indication is also clear that it does occur in the new heavens and earth which are not created until after this event (cf. While the following is not exhaustive, it demonstrates that sin in the life of a believer is not a small issue. If the believer remains unrepentant, this can lead to the sin unto death as with Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5), and some of the believers at Corinth who were failing to confess their sin and get right with the Lord (1 Cor. What becomes the issue for us today? gimp add alpha channel to selection. Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the. Rather, the Judgment Seat of Christ is for the body of Christ, the church. 1:4; 4:25). 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. 2:10f; Rev. Evidently, immediately after Satans fall, God sentenced Satan and his angels condemning them to the Lake of Fire (Matt. Further, the words awake or asleep of verse 10 refer to a spiritual or moral condition, not whether one is alive or dead when Christ returns as in 4:13-14. 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. 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. Sin can be defined as anything that opposes Gods will and law. To engage in sin is to disobey or abuse His laws. 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. 11:30). In the King James versionthe word - judgment - appears 294 timesthe word - Paul shows us in Romans that all categories of peoplethe good, the bad, and the uglyare really in the same boat and on their way to eternal separation from God. 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. This is why earlier the Apostle called them fleshly (the Greek sarkikos, adapted to, controlled by the flesh) (3:3). In the face of the awesome holiness of God, they are sinners and cannot stand in the presence of God on their own merit. No amount of good living will get us to heaven or give us eternal life. 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. In view of his use of crown (stephanos, the victors wreath) in other places, and the fact believers will cast their crowns before the Lord (Rev. (b) It is also a special crown given for faithfulness in running the race and exercising self-control in order to serve the Lord and finish the race. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (1) Daniel, who wrote concerning the termination of Gods program for Israel in chapter 9, places the resurrection of the righteous in Israel as occurring after a time of distress such as never occurred Clearly this is the Tribulation, Daniels Seventieth Week, or the time of Jacobs Distress mentioned by Jeremiah (Jer. Nor are pleasure and enjoyment illegitimate experiences. The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. 3:23), and that the penalty of sin is eternal death, separation from God (Gen. 2:17; Rom. Why? In other words, they are destroyed, dissolved (2 Pet. God wants Christians to understand the truth of the judgments to both comfort and motivate them to godly living. And no place was found for them, i.e., for heaven and earth. 25:1-30). There the laurel wreath was placed on his head as a symbol of victory (cf. 12:12-17; 13:7). (2) Daniels Seventieth Week (Daniel 9:24-27). 6:8; 2 Tim. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 4:4-6, 22). Joy will indeed be the predominant emotion of life with the Lord; but I suspect that, when our works are made manifest at the tribunal, some grief will be mixed with the joy, and we shall know shame as we suffer loss. 10 Lewis Sperry Chafer, Systematic Theology, Vol. How many times was Jesus mentioned in the Bible? 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. 12:4-11; John 15:1-7). Therefore, as the Scripture says, And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Carnal believers are occupied and controlled by their own self-centered desires (Gal. Ezek. In other words, it was a reward seat and portrayed a time of rewards or loss of rewards following examination. The judgment of God is also described in the Bible as a process, not strictly the rendering of a verdict or passing of a sentence. For example, Peter tells us that "the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God" ( 1 Peter 4:17 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (1) Loss of Fellowship With the Lord. These passages: (2) God does not judge us for our sin in the sense of making us pay the penalty for that sin. The emotional condition of the redeemed is that of complete and unending happiness. They remind us of our responsibility to abide in the vine. 4:10, 11). 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. (11) It is a time of unprecedented apostasy and blasphemy against God (Rev. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. 17). The basis of Satans judgment and final disposal is the finished work of Christ on the cross first anticipated in the protevangelium of Gen. 3:15. Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. WebThe Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in the Holy Bible at least four explicit and possibly two implicit times: Daniel 8:1527. (1) Christs judgment for sin, dying in the place of the sinner, bearing his sin and judgment on the cross as the sinners substitute. 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. 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. Key Scriptures: Heb. They could enjoy themselves freely provided they abstained from eating from the one forbidden tree. 12:5f and 1 Cor. Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord;For He is coming to judge the earth. Revelation 20:5 and 11-15 show this takes place after the conclusion of the millennium following the doom of Satan and the destruction of heaven and earth, but before the eternal state of the new heavens and earth of Revelation 21:1. The following is a short presentation of the good news of how God has provided that men might know Him and experience eternal life. Scripture teaches that Christs death was all-sufficient, completely satisfying Gods wrath toward sin in the believer. also 1 John 5:16-17). Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; Romans 5:12-15 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned 13 for until the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. All the graduates are there and excited about graduating, yet at the time of rewards, some sorrow might be experienced, but it is quickly overcome by the joy of the event. 7:6). Reasons for this will be set forth and developed as we study the nature, purpose, and basis for the Bema. Please note that the clause he shall suffer loss would be better rendered it (the reward) shall be forfeited.. 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. 'the fear of God' is This was the royal crown, the crown of a king. They were showing favoritism and hurting other believers rather than showing love and concern as it should be among believers in Christ. 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. 4:16); (3) the resurrection of tribulation period saints (Rev. The Point: Jesus who is God is our examiner and rewarder. 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. (2) A Bat Boy at the World Series. 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. 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. (2) The disqualification mentioned in 1 Corinthians 9:27 means disqualified from rewards, not loss of salvation. So we read in Hebrews: Hebrews 12:4-11 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by Him; 6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He scourges every son whom He receives. 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 18 Samuel Hoyt, The Judgment Seat of Christ in Theological Perspective, Part 2, Bibliotheca Sacra, electronic media. (1) Unconfessed sin relates to fellowship in this life, not ones relationship or standing with God. The Judgment Seat of Christ is not related to salvation but to the bestowal of rewards, and every Christian is assured that he will receive some reward (1 Cor. (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. 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. 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. In actuality, the New Testament reveals six distinct judgments which will impact current and Crowns are given as rewards for faithfulness to appropriate Gods grace and Christs victory in the Christian life. 2:26). 1 Cor. 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. 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. But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 1:10; Rev. 28:11-19; Rev. So, the book of works will contain a record of all the unbelievers deeds, good and bad, to demonstrate the truth of Romans 3:23, for all have sinned and fall (continually miss the mark) short of the glory (perfect holiness) of God. All fall short of Gods perfect righteousness and have therefore no basis upon which to stand accepted (justified) before a holy and just God. We may have confidence. Confidence is parrhesia and means courage, boldness to speak. Point: Though none of us are perfect or ever will be, still, faithfulness to abide and obey the Lord will give confidence of rewards. Since the Savior has died for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2), the ultimate issue is the sin of unbelief or rejection of Christ. (7) Loss of Physical Health and Vitality. (14) It is a time of unprecedented evangelism (Rev. Though, in this passage the Apostle does not say he would receive a crown, this is suggested, if not here certainly in other passages. If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? But this sorrow must be somewhat relative because even for the finest of Christians there will be some things worthy of unceasing remorse in the light of Gods unapproachable holiness. Indeed, He works in us both to will and to do as we volitionally appropriate His grace (Phil. 8:1, 13-17), they are subject to judgment at the Judgment seat of Christ in relation to their works. 5:16f). For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son. Now, the word "judge" in its various forms (judgeth, judging, judgment, judges, 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 James M. Stifler, The Epistle To The Romans, Moody Press, Chicago, 1960, p. 31. 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.. 65:17). 1:13; Isa. In all of these passages, Paul was picturing the believer as a competitor in a spiritual contest. The clear emphasis of Scripture is that the events of Revelation 6-19 constitute a time of Gods special judgment poured out upon the earth. John 3:16-18: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? (2) Diadem. How many times is the word judgment mentioned in the Bible? We are not to judge others in the sense of condemning them or passing judgment on the opinions of others on doubtful matters as discussed in Romans 14. How much more matters of this life? 3:10-15 with 9:24-27). When they enjoyed each other and the fruit trees and blessings of the garden, they acted in their self-interest but they did so in dependence on and in obedience to the Lord. It contrasts our crowns with the temporal and temporary treasure of this life. 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. 2 Tim. This will be answered as we consider the basis on which rewards are given or lost. What we know about rewards is given in terms that are more general than specific. It will become unprecedented in its affliction as suggested by the description, the Great Tribulation (Matt. If you have not, may I encourage you to read Appendix A, investigate the claims of Christ, and receive Him as your Savior by faith. Q. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;Lovingkindness and truth go before You. Sin requires a penalty, the penalty of death as Gods holy judgment on sin. the word - judge - appears 191 times. 6-19; Zech. Before the Last Supper, Judas is said to have gone to the chief priests and agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 silver coins, and to have attempted to return the money afterwards, filled with We turn to our personal bag of tricks by which we seek to handle life (Gal. 19:17-19; and Dan. This vision of the Great White Throne describes the last and final judgment of history. God banished the first couple from the Garden of Eden for violating His clear command not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 9:20-21; 2 Thess. Generally speaking, the principle is stated in Matthew 7:1-5. (Rom 14:10 & 2 Cor 5:10) 2) White Throne Judgment = non-believers only. 4:8). 4:10; Rom. Emotion proceeds from the realization of facts in personal experience. 2 One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1:6; Rev. 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. These are: (1) The Promise of Crowns. Again, there is only one judgment day, but Revelation 20:11-15 tells us the judgment process has two stages. 39:28). Why did Christ have to die for us? All who have scoffed at God, denied His being, rebelled at His rule, or rejected His sovereigntyand in the process, also rejected His Son, the Lord Jesus Christmust at this time stand before this throne to be condemned to eternal judgment. Our rewards may be likened to our spiritual gifts. 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. 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. 5:9-10; 1 John 2:28; Rev. 30:7). He did not whip the losers.8 We might add, neither did he sentence them to hard labor. 1 Cor. (4) Loss of Opportunities. The dead, great and small emphasizes that no one is exempt. Stresses their eternal value and security. 1:18-21; 2:12). 2:5). Rather, it is a place where rewards will be given or lost depending on how one has used his or her life for the Lord. It is called white because it will be the supreme and undimmed display of the perfect righteousness and justice of God to all mankind. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly. Before God, we all stand naked, helpless, and hopeless in ourselves. This may indicate something of our authority. 0. 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. The Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in Her blessedness is extolled by Elizabeth (Lk 1:45). Such would be inconsistent with the finished work of Christ on the Cross because He totally paid the penalty for our sins. 4:10-11). Some crucial questions are: Why are we brought before the Bema? We may rule over galaxies, celestial bodies, the heavens, and definitely over angels, and the world (cf. 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. 15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. At this resurrection the soul and body are reunited and the person is brought before the throne. After our glorification, there will be no sinful nature to produce envy, or jealousy, or resentment, or feelings of dissatisfaction. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. 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. (5) In Scripture, the church is viewed as the heavenly kingdom and a universal priesthood. Although this burning lake is only mentioned in the last book of the Bible, it is a significant place that Christians need to know about since it reminds us of the consequences of sinfulness, Jesus sacrifice to save us from everlasting punishment, and the need to tell the gospel. In the universal anti-Semitism of the Great Tribulation one who befriends Jews will by this evidence manifest his salvation.6. To execute on them the judgment written;This is an honor for all His godly ones.Praise the Lord! Appears refers to the rapture which leads quickly into the Bema. This is no more a punishment than when a student turns in a worthless assignment and receives an F or a D. His poor work results in a just grade or recompense. John 3:18 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. Adam and Eve died spiritually and began to die physically. 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. This in no way suggests a permanent condition.

Will any punishment be meted out? They maintain the seriousness of the examination and yet emphasize the commendation aspect of the judgment seat. 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. 12:6, 8). While bema is used in the Gospels and in Acts of the raised platform where a Roman magistrate or ruler sat to make decisions and pass sentence (Matt. 1:24f, moral degeneration and the gradual breakdown in the moral fiber of men when they turn away from God. For those ideas Paul would have most likely used kalos, good, and kakos, evil. For good works, those valuable like good fruit, we will receive back rewards, but for bad works, those rotten and worthless, we will receive no rewards or the loss of rewards. The message of scripture was that Jesus Christ was both God and man. 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. 4:13-18). Zane Hodges has some good thoughts on this concept: Scripture does not teach us to be uninterested in our own happiness or well-being. If so, how do we reconcile this with passages like Revelation 7:17, God shall wipe away every tear from their eye, and Revelation 21:4, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away, or with Isaiah 65:17, For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind? The rebels of unbelief must be removed so that only believing Israel will enter into the kingdom (cf. 6-19). God gives us salvation. Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. This is the basis of rewards or the cause of their loss, the abiding, Christ-dependent life. 2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 8:13; 1 Cor.
