Judgement Seat of Christ

The 4 Judgements of a Christian

Judgment for our sins

Colossians 2:13 AV

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

the Messiah on the cross paid the debt for all our sins

Communion Judgement

1 Corinthians 11:27–34 AV

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

ask the Holy Spirit to turn the spotlight on to us

show us our sin

self examination/ judgement

Purpose is restoration to others in the body and to Christ

Disciplinary Judgement

Chastening, correcting, disciplining

restoration to a right path

Hebrews 12:10 AV

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Complete Jewish Bible Chapter 32

By David. A maskil:

(1)  How blessed are those whose offense is forgiven,

those whose sin is covered!

2  How blessed those to whom ADONAI imputes no guilt,

in whose spirit is no deceit!

3  When I kept silent, my bones wasted away

because of my groaning all day long;

4  day and night your hand was heavy on me;

the sap in me dried up as in a summer drought. (Selah)

5  When I acknowledged my sin to you,

when I stopped concealing my guilt,

and said, “I will confess my offenses to ADONAI”;

then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)

6  This is what everyone faithful should pray

at a time when you can be found.

Then, when the floodwaters are raging,

they will not reach to him.

7  You are a hiding-place for me,

you will keep me from distress;

you will surround me

with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8  “I will instruct and teach you

in this way that you are to go;

I will give you counsel;

my eyes will be watching you.”

9  Don’t be like a horse or mule

that has no understanding,

that has to be curbed with bit and bridle,

or else it won’t come near you.

10  Many are the torments of the wicked,

but grace surrounds those who trust in ADONAI.

11  Be glad in ADONAI; rejoice, you righteous!

Shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

discipline and correction are not Judgement

Judgement is for condemnation, punishment

the prodigal son could have returned at any time and be restored

Judgement seat of Christ

are not all Christians going to stand before Messiah

2 Corinthians 5:9–10 AV

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 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.

Good or Bad sounds like behaving or misbehaving

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
