Bible Note: Dear overseer: We must remember that there is a Judgment seat for those who belong to Christ which Paul refers to as the "Bema" which is the reward seat for those who have run the race. 2 Cor. 5:10 If you refer to 1 Cor. 3:12-14 refers to this judgment. When our works and motives after we are saved are judged by God. "The fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is" In Verse 15 "If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire" The judgment seat of Christ is not for judging sin because sin was judged when he bore its awful load on the cross. There is also the Great White throne judgment when the dead small and great will stand before God Rev.20. This judgement is the end for all who have died outside of Christ and who have rejected him. The two judgments which I have mentioned show that God is impartial and righteous in his Judgement. We make a choice by faith to accept the judgment as borne by Christ or we can reject Christ and suffer for our own sins. John 3:36 the NAS translation replaces "he that believeth not the Son" KJV to "he who does not obey the Son" What obedience is this talking about. This is not the Christian life which is in view, but the attitude of a lost sinner who does not obey the gospel. John in 1 John 5:12 we read "He that hath the son hath life, he that hath not the son of God hath not life" God bless Robert |
