The Judgement Seat of Christ
The Judgement Seat of Christ
As Believers we are not Judged with the world
Our Sin was nailed to the cross
on the body of our Lord Jesus Christ
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Bur our works as a Child of God are to be Judged
after the resurrection While the world is going through the tribulation
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.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Our good works works
What we are doing now to advance the Church of Jesus
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 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.
Our building materials are going to be tested by fire
we will receive rewards according to how much of our building remains
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
our wedding garments are going to reflect our good deeds
Don’t know how, but the linen of some are not going to look like others

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
do we do what we do for our glory or Gods
Stewardship Is a manager of someone else’s property
If All we have belongs to God...
our Gifts, talents, money, possessions, education, physical abilities, experience, education,
He has given it to us to advance His Kingdom
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Turn to Matthew 25:14-15

V 18 did not use
V 19-23 Jesus came back to settle accounts

V 24 - 28
did not do well and it was taken away from him
Our get-up-and-go
Our get-up-and-go
Go to Luke 19 12- 26
V 17 Good slave
V 19 NO good slave
V 22 wicked slave
V 24 take it away
all were give the same their, efforts is what made them prosperous
Our Evaluation
Our Evaluation
Will Jesus find us Faithful?
will He find us with great effort?
if so we will be given greater responsibility in the Kingdom
if we are not Faithful we will suffer great loss
are we going to walk away with shame or praise from our King?
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
