WHERE WILL YOU BE AFTER
THE JUDGEMENT?
ROMANS 14:12 SAYS:
So then every one of us shall give account
Of himself to God!
1st Corinth 3:12-15 says:
now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble;
Every man’s work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because it shall be
revealed by fire; and the fire shall try
every man’s work of what sort it is.
If any man’s work abide which he hath
built thereupon, he shall receive a reward
if any man’s work shall be burned, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by fire.
2nd Corinth 5:10 & 11 says:
for we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body
according to that he hath done, whether
it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord
We persuade men; but are made manifest
Unto God; and I trust also are made
Manifest in your consciences.
Revelation 3:11 says:
Behold I come quickly:
Hold that fast which thou hast;
That no man take thy crown!
The judgment seat of Christ is for believers
And you absolutely can’t confuse this for
The great white throne judgment
Which is for sinners
The believers sins were taken care of at the
Cross at Calvary!
1st Timothy 5:24 says:
some men’s sins are open!
Beforehand, going before to judgment
And some men they follow after.
At the judgment seat though
We will give account for the way we spent
our Christian life!!
And We will receive our reward;
That the Lord feels that we are worthy of!!
Romans 14:10 says:
But why dost thou judge thy Brother?
Or why dost thou set at nought
Thy brother?
For we shall all stand before the judgment
Seat of Christ!!!
This judgment has nothing to do with salvation
Cause we will have already made it to heaven
With the lord at this time.
God has already separated us
From the unbelievers at the time
Of this judgment!!!
The judgment Seat of Christ is
A judgment of our good or bad works!!!
Immediately after the rapture of the Church
Every believer will stand before Christ
And we will be judged by Him
This ain’t gonna be a judgment
That’s gonna happen to all of us at once!
But it’s gonna be an individual judgment.
Because the bible says
Each one may receive what is due him!
Maybe you’ll get a big bunch of rewards
Because you’ve been a great worker for
The Lord and you’ve led lots of souls to Him
Or
Maybe you’ll just barely make it through
Those pearly gates by the skin of your teeth
As the old saying goes!
Jesus describes our working for Him as
Anything that we do.
If Jesus is saying giving a cup of water is
A work then basically everything we do
Can be a work for Him
So then He’ll judge the quality of our work
Whether its good or evil
And believe me there’s gonna be some good
And there’s gonna be some evil!!! AMEN
Matthew 10:42 says:
And whosoever shall give to drink unto
One of these little ones a cup of cold water
Only in the name of a disciple, verily
I say unto you
He shall in no wise lose his reward!!!
We have to have a plan and stick with that plan
I want to go to heaven and take everybody
With me that I can!!!!
Pretty simple huh???
The greatest stumbling block in everyone’s way
Is the minding of other peoples business
And the Bible is full of people who tried
To shun their personal responsibility to God!
Like Adam to Eve and Eve to the serpent
And Aaron in Exodus chapter 32
And Pilate in the trial of Jesus
We’re not responsible for the actions of
Other people;
But were responsible for our own actions!
Peter said
Let none of you suffer as a busy body
In another mans matters!
And Paul said: so then everyone of us
Everything we have, everything we are
We Owe to God who gave it to us!!!
Therefore our responsibility is to God
And we will be called on to account
For how we used the things that God gave us!
Everything we have, God just lets us use it
God owns everything and everybody
Our own life must be re-paid!!!
Our job is to lift up the name of Jesus
And we better lift His name
Higher than any other name!!!!
Matthew 6:2 says
Therefore when thou doest thine alms
Do not sound a trumpet before thee
As the hypocrites do in the synagogues
And in the streets
That they may have glory of men
