Lutzer the judgment seat of christ2/19/2023 ![]() ![]() There is no condemnation for those who have believed in Christ. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea ( Micah 7:19).ĭestiny Of Christian Has Been Settled With the death of Christ on the cross, the destiny of the Christian has been once-and-for-all settled. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us ( Psalm 103:10-12). He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. The sins of believers will not be an issue at the judgment seat of Christ - they have already been forgiven. This is not a judgment to determine who will enter heaven. Judgment always comes after resurrection. Therefore encourage one another with these words ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).Īfter this event, those believers will go to the judgment seat of Christ. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air and so we will be with the Lord forever. For the Lord Himself, with a shout, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. For this we declare to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have died. But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. He will change their bodies from corruptible to incorruptible. Knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are slaves or free ( Ephesians 6:8).Īt some time in the future, the Lord will come back for those who have believed upon Him. They will have a separate time of judgment and reward. It does not include the Old Testament believers. ![]() These are people who have trusted Christ as Savior from the Day of Pentecost, until the coming of Christ for His church. What will happen at this judgment seat? Who will be judged? The Scriptures have the following to say.Ĭhurch Only The participants in the judgment seat of Christ are members of the New Testament church. Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God ( Romans 14:10). For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what we have done whether good or bad ( 2 Corinthians 5:10).Īll believers will stand before God and be individually judged. It is known as the judgment seat of Christ, or the judgment seat of God. The Bible speaks of a special judgment that God will hold for believers only. The Bible says unbelievers will be judged in the first sense - condemnation, while believers will be judged in the other sense - rewards.
