![]() “Each of us shall give account of himself to God, each one receives done in the body according to what he's done, good or bad”. Jesus will evaluate our lives on what we've done. Each believer will be rewarded, or they will experience a loss, and this depends on how they lived their life as a believer. The Judgement Seat of Christ is a place of rewards. The issue is: giving account of my stewardship, as a believer, after I got saved or putting it another way: what have I done, to follow Christ and advance His kingdom, in the years that have gone by since I first made a decision to receive Christ. Every believer will stand before the Judgement seat of Christ, and the issue there is not sin. It's an appointment where I stand before Christ, at the Judgement Seat, so we do want to understand that. It's an appointment I have no way of avoiding. You have ahead of you, an appointment I have ahead of me, an appointment. It's an appointment every believer will keep. Every believer must stand before the Judgement seat of Christ - there's no exceptions. Notice it says: “we shall all stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ and in 2 Corinthians 5: “we must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ”. There are some other scriptures in the New Testament that talk about the Judgement Seat, referring to the same thing (the same word is used), but these are the two scriptures that refer to the Judgement Seat of Christ. Those are the two key scriptures that refer to the Judgement Seat of Christ. Each of us shall give account of himself to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 – “For we must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad”. Romans 14:10-12 – “We shall all stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ. So firstly, every believer, every Christian, every follower of Christ, has an appointment at The Judgement Seat of Christ. The Judgement Seat of Christ is different to that, and this is the focus of today's study. It talks about firstly The Judgement Seat of Christ and secondly, at the end of the Book of Revelation, it talks about the Great White Throne Judgement (or the Final Judgement), where believers and unbelievers are judged, and eternal destinies are worked out. The Bible talks about two places of judgement. What is it that God is looking for, when God is looking to reward us? Because it's so important, I want to spread this over a couple of teaching sessions. It's very important for us to understand how our lives are going to be evaluated. ![]() Welcome to our study in the Eternal Rewards, and we're looking at Study #8: The Judgement Seat of Christ.
