The Judgement Seat Of Christ Series

The Judgement Seat of Christ is a pivotal event in the life of every believer, where our actions, words, and deeds will be evaluated by our Lord Jesus Christ. This sermon explores the biblical significance of this event, its purpose, and what we can expect.

Purpose of the Judgement Seat

The Judgement Seat of Christ is not to determine salvation, but to assess our faithfulness, obedience, and fruitfulness as believers (2 Corinthians 5:10). It's an opportunity for God to reward our dedication and service to Him.

Accountability Before God

Romans 14:10-12 reminds us that we will all stand before God's judgement seat, giving an account of our lives. This emphasizes personal accountability for our actions, words, and motivations.

The Judgement Process

Revelation 20:11-15 describes the judgement process, where:

1. Books are opened, revealing our deeds and motivations (v. 12)

2. Each person is judged, according to their works (v. 13)

3. Rewards are given, for faithfulness and obedience (v. 12)

What to Expect

1. A thorough examination, of our lives, including thoughts, words, and actions (Matthew 12:36-37)

2. Rewards for faithfulness, including crowns and eternal inheritance (1 Corinthians 9:25, Revelation 22:12)

3. Loss of rewards, for unfaithfulness and disobedience (1 Corinthians 3:15, 2 John 1:8)

Preparation for the Judgement Seat

1. Live a life of obedience, surrendering to God's will (Romans 12:1-2)

2. Cultivate a heart of faithfulness, seeking to please God (Hebrews 11:6)

3. Endure trials and temptations, persevering in our faith (James 1:12, Revelation 2:10)

The Judgement Seat of Christ is an inevitable event for every believer. As we consider our accountability before God, let us:

- Live with intentionality, seeking to please God

- Cultivate a heart of faithfulness and obedience

- Endure trials and temptations, persevering in our faith

May our lives be a testament to God's grace and glory, as we eagerly await the Judgement Seat of Christ.
