1 | Am I judged by my deeds? | Rev 20:13 | Angel In Training | 159179 | ||
"...and each person was judged according to what he had done." Revelation 20:13 (NIV) I was just going over Revelation and found this portion of scripture. I know that I am saved by the grace of God and that the blood Jesus shed was enough: So why are "my works" being judged? The only way I can figure this out is that if I am truly committed to Jesus then my "works" will automatically be a reflection of my committment. Therefore, my works are not the things being judged, my committment to Jesus is. But then where's grace? Angel in Training |

Judgment Seat and Great White Throne The Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment are not one and the same event. They are two separate judgments that have to do with two separate groups of people and take place at two separate times. At the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ. This judgment does not determine salvation. On the other hand, the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT 'is an examination of all those whose names are not in the Lamb’s book of life.' The Judgment Seat of Christ 'What is the Judgment Seat of Christ?' 'A believer's deeds are judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-12). This judgment does not determine salvation, but rather is when believers must give an account of their lives to Christ. We should not look at the Judgment Seat of Christ as God judging our sins, but rather as God rewarding us for our lives. 'At the Judgment Seat of Christ, believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27; 2 Timothy 2:5)...' (www.gotquestions.org/judgment-seat-Christ.html) Great White Throne Judgment 'Revelation 20 speaks of a future judgment called the Great White Throne Judgment. This is an examination of all those whose names are not in the Lamb’s book of life, which is a record of all those who have put their faith in Christ (this means they stand justified and in the righteousness of Christ). Thus, the Great White Throne Judgment will be a time of examination where everyone who has rejected Christ (or the hope of Christ, as would be the case in Old Testament times), will be given their day in court where they are examined and the true condition of their hearts are brought plainly into view. Books are opened which contain a record of every person’s works (and this includes their motives). This will prove without a doubt that they are unrighteous and fall short of God’s glory and deserve eternal separation from God.' (www.bible.org) Angel in Training: I appreciate you and the heart you have for the things of God. You ask good questions -- questions that a great many people are wondering about. Grace and peace, Kalos |
