Through the Scriptures and the remnant of His people, He has taught man that he must have Gods righteousness, that God is of purer eyes than to approve evil or to accept or look upon wickedness (Hab. 25:1-30). 4:16); (3) the resurrection of tribulation period saints (Rev. 3:10; 6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:8 and Isa.

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. 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. 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. Her blessedness is extolled by Elizabeth (Lk 1:45). also 1 John 5:16-17). 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.

(14) It is a time of unprecedented evangelism (Rev. This always results in moral devolution and degeneration. 2:3f). The Bible declares, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God. In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and who must therefore judge sinful man (Rom. 3:1-5; 5:5-15; Jer. 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). Its the message of the gift of Gods own Son who became man (the God-man), lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sin, and was raised from the grave proving both the fact He is Gods Son and the value of His death for us as our substitute (Rom. 19:12). Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments The Christian has been in court, condemned, sentenced, and executed in his substitute, Jesus Christ. 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. 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. 6:17; I Thess. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

Bring to light is photizo, to bring to light, make visible. Disclose is phaneroo, to manifest, reveal. The issue should be extremely clear from these two verses: The Lord will evaluate the quality and nature of every persons work. If God were to punish the believer judicially for his sins for which Christ has already rendered payment, He would be requiring two payments for sin and would therefore be unjust. 12; Matthew 24:9, 13f). 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. 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. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. (1) All the passages dealing with the Bema or rewards are addressed to believers or pertain to believers of the church (Rom. 12:7). 12 Zane Hodges, Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society, Autumn, 1991, p. 7. 28:11-19; Rev. So, much as we see in Romans 1:18f, God turns the world over to the consequences of its choices. 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. 11:1f; 13:1f; 2 Thess. (2) The Promise of Heavenly Treasure (Matt. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. 19:12). Since the church is gone, caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thess. 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? 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. (5) It yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Heb. It is used of the seven diadems of the Beast in Revelation 12:3 and 13:1. (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. Nobody bats 1000 no matter how good they may appear to men. Nor are pleasure and enjoyment illegitimate experiences. Known sin in ones life causes a loss of intimate fellowship with the Lord with the consequent loss of His joy and peace (Ps. 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. (1) Unconfessed sin relates to fellowship in this life, not ones relationship or standing with God. (6) Broken Relationships and Disharmony. Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier concerning the judgment of Satan, God has manifested His power by defeating Satan and his hordes. 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. To underdo the sorrow aspect is to make faithfulness inconsequential.18. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

The judge at the Bema bestowed rewards to the victors. 14:10-12; 1 Cor. (4) It is designed to produce obedience and to protect them against untimely physical death (Heb. 12:9; Rom. 3:23), and that the penalty of sin is eternal death, separation from God (Gen. 2:17; Rom. While 1 John 5:11 and 12 are written to Christians to give them assurance of their salvation based on the testimony of Gods Word, this passage also highlights the key issue in Gods plan of salvation as it is centered in the person of Jesus Christ. Other Bible teachers espouse a mediating position. (7) It is a time of death (Rev. I believe we have two books here. Following are those six judgments: The judgment of the cross Jesus said in John 12:31-33, "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 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? In the King James versionthe word - judgment - appears 294 timesthe word - 5 Dwight Pentecost, Things to Come, Dunham Publishing Co., Findlay, OH, 1958, p. 411.

The Book of Life: This book contains the names of all believers, of all who have put their faith in Christ and Gods plan of salvation or righteousness through the substitutionary death of Christ. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 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. 27:19; John 19:13), its use in the epistles by Paul, because of his many allusions to the Greek athletic contests, is more in keeping with its original use among the Greeks. In 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20, the Apostle Paul drew courage and was motivated by the fact of rewards at the return of the Lord for the church which he mentions in every chapter in this epistle and becomes the primary subject of 2 Thessalonians. Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. The judgments of this time will grow in intensity and conclude with an awesome display of Gods wrath against a Christ-rejecting world. 6:23; Eph. 13; 17); economically (Rev. At the judgment of the Gentiles Christ will separate the sheep, representing the saved, from the goats, representing the lost (Matt. 20:11 with 21:1). The next prophetic event in Gods timetable will be the rapture or the catching up of the body of Christ, the church, as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. 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. This was the royal crown, the crown of a king. But (2) Scripture also uses it of a very special and future time of tribulation that is to come upon the whole earth (Matt. Before God, we all stand naked, helpless, and hopeless in ourselves. 8:24f). 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. Some will reign with Him, but, because of loss of rewards, evidently some will not. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

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. Note that these two things go together. 2:1-3:23). 26:19).5. It is great because it is the final judgment and puts an end to all judgment for all time. Remember that all of our crowns will be cast at the feet of Christ, for only He is worthy (Rev. 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. 25:1-30; Ezek. It is literally if He appears. The conditional clause does not question the reality of Christs coming, only the time of it and thereby points to its imminency. The believer will forfeit rewards which he could have received, but he will not be punished in the judicial sense of paying for his sins. 32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord in order that we may not be condemned along with the world. 4:10; Rom. 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 12:3-4).

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. 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. To overdo the sorrow aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to make heaven hell.
