Bible Question: will there be a final judgement at the end of time |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jocaffee, You ask, "will there be a final judgement at the end of time"? Yes. All believers will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-11). This judgment has nothing to do with whether or not the Christian will remain saved. Those who have placed their faith in Christ are saved, and nothing can threaten that (Ephesians 4:30). This judgment has to do with the reception or loss of rewards (Psalm 62:12; Matt. 12:35-37, 16:27; Ephesians 6:7-8). At this judgment, believers will be more thankful for entering into the Kingdom of Heaven than being remorseful for what they did on earth. The crown of life is given to those who persevere under trial or suffer to the point of death (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10). The crown of glory is given to those who faithfully and sacrificially minister God's Word to the flock (1 Peter 5:4). The crown incorruptible is given to those who win the race of temperance and self-control (1 Cor. 9:25), and the crown of righteousness is given to those who long for the second coming of Christ (2 Tim. 4:8). Believers are redeemed in order to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 6:20) and we cast our crowns before the throne in worship and adoration! (Rev. 4:10) The Great White Throne judgment is the judgment that unbelievers must face (Revelation 20:11-15). Believers will not participate in this judgment, and Christ will judge on the basis of works (Rev. 20:12-13). Those who get to this judgment are already unsaved. Blessings to you, Makarios |
