3:1-13; Tit. 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. 19:8 with Dan. Nor are pleasure and enjoyment illegitimate experiences. This condition is the expression of Gods wrath (vs. 18) and twice we have the statement that this moral breakdown occurs because God gave them over (vss. This is none other than the Lord Jesus who is even now examining our lives and will bring to light the true nature of our walk and works when we stand before Him at the Bema (Rev. Why? This would be somewhat punitive and does not fit the concept of the Bema nor the promises of the Lord that we will not come into judgment. This always results in moral devolution and degeneration. 2:14-16), and the revelation of God-consciousness in creation so that they are without excuse (Rom. the word - judge - appears 191 times. Since the church is gone, caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thess. All fall short of the glory of Godthe immoral, moral, and religious (Rom. 2:10). It is a family matter. 12:1-2; Matt. 24:31-46). (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. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 5:1-14). Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. 19:17; 1 Cor. 12:5f and 1 Cor. 0.

Heaven and earth are seen fleeing from the face of Him who sits on this throne (20:11). It is great because all the unbelievers of all time, from Cain to the final revolt at the end of the Millennium, will be here assembled to face the bar of Gods holy justice. Romans 4:1-5: What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? Emotion proceeds from the realization of facts in personal experience. (5) 1 John 2:28. It is the purpose of this study to cover all the major judgments (past, present, and future) that we find in Scripture to help resolve this confusion. (11) It is a time of unprecedented apostasy and blasphemy against God (Rev. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 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. 2:26). 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. The message of scripture was that Jesus Christ was both God and man. 3 Samuel Hoyt, The Judgment Seat of Christ in Theological Perspective, Part 1, Bibliotheca Sacra, January-March, 1980, electronic media. 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? 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. 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). They maintain the seriousness of the examination and yet emphasize the commendation aspect of the judgment seat. Scripture teaches that for the believer Gods justice has already been fully and forever satisfied at the Cross in relation to the believers sins. (7) The Casting of Crowns (Rev. 20:11 with 21:1). 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. (4) It is a day of destruction and global catastrophes (Joel 1:15; 2:3; 1 Thess. garmin vivoactive 3 vs forerunner 45 2:15). (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. 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.. 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? 12:4-11; John 15:1-7). 6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. 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. 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. Nobody bats 1000 no matter how good they may appear to men. (Emphasis mine.). After which God selected him to lead his people out of slavery. Discipline from God is the gracious work of a Father to train and develop His children. All judgment has been placed into His hands as the perfect Son of man, Son of God, the one qualified to judge by virtue of his sinless humanity and defeat of Satan and sin through the cross (Rev. 12; Matthew 24:9, 13f). 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. WebThe Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in the Holy Bible at least four explicit and possibly two implicit times: Daniel 8:1527. 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. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. For a summary of three major views, let me quote Samuel L. Hoyt from Bibliotheca Sacra. 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 these passages we read such things as give account of himself, suffer loss, shrink away from Him in shame, and recompense for his deeds whether good or bad.. The Tribulation will witness Satans wrath and the persecutions of his man, the Beast (Rev. 6:20; 1 Pet. (2) The Incorruptible Crown (1 Cor. (a) The verb is what we call in Greek an aorist subjunctive, and with the basic meaning of this verb, the grammar points to a future act, but not a continuous state. 6-19). Before God, we all stand naked, helpless, and hopeless in ourselves. 2:5). Because of His love, grace and mercy He has not left us without hope and a solution. 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. 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. Matt. This will be answered as we consider the basis on which rewards are given or lost. It was there Christ paid the penalty for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2). Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (4) That dispensing of rewards is in view is also evident from the Greek words in 2 Corinthians 5:10 translated good (agathosvaluable like good fruit) and bad (phaulosunacceptable like rotten or spoiled fruit). WebThe number forty is mentioned 157 times in Scripture. 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. He did not whip the losers.8 We might add, neither did he sentence them to hard labor. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. Note that the text says and the books (plural) were opened, and another book (singular) was opened, which is the Book of Life. We have two sets, the books and the book which is mentioned again in verse 15a. (2) It is a time of Gods wrath or indignation and the vindication of Gods holinessZeph. The word judgments refers to the decrees or the decisions of God that make up His plan. Gods judgments lead to Gods will, which in turn achieves His purpose. God, knowing our sinful state and having the wisdom to design a plan to bring about our salvation, has made certain decrees, decisions, and judgments to institute His plan. The Point: Jesus who is God is our examiner and rewarder. 8:24f). In the face of the awesome holiness of God, they are sinners and cannot stand in the presence of God on their own merit. 17); politically (Rev. The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments The Bible teaches us that God loves all people and wants to bring them into a harmonious relationship with Himself. God graciously supplies the means by which we may serve Him. Hebrews 10:17-18 And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. 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. (4) It is designed to produce obedience and to protect them against untimely physical death (Heb. Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.. The one who understands the day of Jesus Christ as referring to the Great White Throne Judgment is on a collision course with despair and eternal destiny concerns. 11:2-3; 13:5; 12;6; Dan. Now these facts will become evident to each individual and proven without question. The victor of a given event, who had participated according to the rules, was led by the judge to the platform called the Bema. 2 Lewis Sperry Chafer Systematic Theology, Vol. The order is: At the end of the Tribulation, the Lord Jesus will return personally to earth (Zech. Carnal believers have no vision other than their own personal agendas and selfish goals (cf. 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. And why does God judge believers for unconfessed sin as with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and some of the believers in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 11:28f? 3:9). May the reality of this judgment cause us to carefully reflect on the serious consequences of this passage on a Christ-rejecting world. You are now one of Gods children by faith in the Savior. Q. 4:10; Rom. 1:13; Isa. 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). 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. It occurs 107 times in the Old Testament, but 93 times in the book of Ezekiel. Again, there is only one judgment day, but Revelation 20:11-15 tells us the judgment process has two stages. In actuality, the New Testament reveals six distinct judgments which will impact current and 3:14-15). 11:1f; 13:1f; 2 Thess. 14:10-11; 1 Cor. (b) The voice of the verb is passive. It means to remain in Him from the standpoint of drawing on His life as the source of ours and then to obey Him out of that relationship of dependence. 24:9, 21, 29; Mark 13:19, 24; Rev. 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. (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. Both body and soul are eternally separated from God in the eternal Lake of Fire, a very real, literal, and eternal place according the Scripture. One of the prominent doctrines of the New Testament is the Doctrine of Rewards and the Judgment Seat of Christ. Condemned along with the world in 1 Corinthians 11:32 most likely refers to the judgment of Rom. This is clear from the context and the analogy to the Greek athletic games. It is called white because it will be the supreme and undimmed display of the perfect righteousness and justice of God to all mankind. Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 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. The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. 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. They emphasize the importance and necessity of faithful living today but reject any thought of forensic punishment at the Bema. 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. 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. This results in the works of the flesh and their awful and fruitless consequences (Gal. 2010-11-16 12:05:45. This was the victors crown, the wreath given to the victorious athlete before the judge at the Bema. 2-3). Will the Lord reject forever?And will He never be favorable again? In one sense, the Thessalonians will be Pauls crown, and the effect at the Bema and throughout eternity will be rejoicing or exultation over their presence in heaven. How then do we receive Gods Son that we may have the eternal life God has promised us? 27:29; Mk. This means we must each come to God the same wayas a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness, repudiates any form of human works for salvation, and relies totally on Christ alone by faith alone for our salvation. 1:30; Eph. 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. Throughout the centuries as anticipated in the enmity mentioned in Genesis 3:15, there has been constant warfare between the holy angels who minister to Gods people and Satan and his unholy angels, the demonic spirits. Generally speaking, the principle is stated in Matthew 7:1-5. To overdo the sorrow aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to make heaven hell. 1:18; Revelation 6:16-17; 11:18; 14:7, 10, 19; 15:4, 7; 16:1, 7, 19; 19:1-2. 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. 2:10f; Rev. In the King James version. 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. 2:19-20; 1 Tim. At a Thanksgiving dinner, each person eats a different amount, but each is satisfied. 17 Fritz Rienecker, Linguistic Key to the Greek New Testament, Cleon L. Rogers, Jr., editor, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1980, p. 468. When God put Adam and Eve in the garden, He furnished them with every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food (Gen. 2:9). This is clear from both the context of 5:4-8 and by the fact he changed the words he used for sleep. These are: (1) The Promise of Crowns. The Christian has been in court, condemned, sentenced, and executed in his substitute, Jesus Christ. 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. 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. 12:10). But when men reject the knowledge of God and His plan of salvation, they in essence determine to stand on their own merit, or in their own righteousness. (2) Death, a reference to all those who were buried in graves in the ground, cremated, or destroyed in any other way on earth. 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? 5:9-10; 1 John 2:28; Rev. But we shall rejoice also as we realize that the rewards given will be another example of the grace of our Lord; for at best we are unprofitable servants (E. Schuyler English, The Church At the Tribunal, in Prophetic Truth Unfolding Today, ed. 2:5). (3) Loss of Power and Production. Other Bible teachers espouse a mediating position. 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. This is the basis of rewards or the cause of their loss, the abiding, Christ-dependent life. The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. This is the heritage of the servants of the, And their vindication is from Me, declares the. The judgment of the antediluvian world (Genesis 7:1724). Though anticipated as certain and viewed as accomplished, this sentence against Satan and his evil host will not be carried out until after the millennial reign of Christ (cf. (1) Though the Tribulation begins as a time of peace, it soon becomes a time of unprecedented troubleJoel 2:2; Matt. (1) All the passages dealing with the Bema or rewards are addressed to believers or pertain to believers of the church (Rom. 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. 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. The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments that people will face after death. If It Is During The Millennium How Will There Not Be Pain And Tears When The Devil Is Released To Deceive The Nations? 14 If any mans work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. In other words, it is a reward seat and portrays a time of rewards or loss of rewards following examination, but it is not a time of punishment where believers are judged for their sins. For example, Moses lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert. 12 Zane Hodges, Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society, Autumn, 1991, p. 7. This time he calls it simply, the day of Christ. 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. Then all opposing powers against the Lord will be dealt with in judgment (Rev. This passage teaches: (a) that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son, Jesus Christ, and (b) that the way to possess eternal life is to possess Gods Son. 7:9; Matt. 5:19-21, 26). Teach me good discernment and knowledge,For I believe in Your commandments. 6:9; 7:14f). 20:35b-38). The judgments of this time will grow in intensity and conclude with an awesome display of Gods wrath against a Christ-rejecting world. (2) The second book will be the book of works or deeds. The very desire to escape eternal damnation is a legitimate and urgent self-interest. 12; 14). As 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. At this resurrection the soul and body are reunited and the person is brought before the throne. The real issue is whether ones name is in the Book of Life, not ones deeds. 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). 15:24-26). 26:10; Mark 14:6; Rom. Emphasis is placed on the fact that each Christian must give an account of his life before the omniscient and holy Christ. 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. 5:11), and of works of the Law (Rom. The Book of Life contains the names of believers, those justified by faith and who have a righteousness from God imputed to their account. It is a doctrine often ignored or, when taught, it is misrepresented because of the term judgment that is used in translating the Greek text. 3:23), and that the penalty of sin is eternal death, separation from God (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 13:12; Eph. Charles Lee Feingberg [Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming H. Revell Co., 1968], p. 29). Thank you for giving me eternal life through faith in your Son. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org. This is caused by the realization of what his own failure and sin has cost him in terms of the loss of rewards and loss of glory to the Lord. What are they and how are they described in Scripture? I can do nothing on My own initiative. This judgment affected all of creation (Genesis 3:1718; Romans 8:2022). Her reward is described as fine linen, the righteous acts of the saintsundoubtedly the result of rewards. Of course all sickness, weakness, or suffering is not a product of sin, but it can be and often is (1 Cor. 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. 25:31-46). 5:2). There the laurel wreath was placed on his head as a symbol of victory (cf. 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. Whoever sheds mans blood,By man his blood shall be shed,For in the image of GodHe made man. The emotional condition of the redeemed is that of complete and unending happiness. 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? 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. Her single-mindedness is seen in the events which relate her to her son Jesus on almost every occasion in which she is mentioned in the New Because Christ alone is worthy and because we can only be fruitful when we abide in Him allowing His life to fills ours, we will all cast our crowns before Him in recognition that all we have done is by His grace. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. 6:17, italics added). How many times is the son of man mentioned in the Bible? The believer is seen by the Father as clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Daily forgiveness of those who are within the family of God is distinguished from judicial and positional forgiveness which was applied forensically to all of a persons sins the moment he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.14 We need to distinguish between fellowship forgiveness and legal or forensic forgiveness that justifies us and gives us a standing before God through Christ.
