Any young man who loves baseball would probably be thrilled to be a bat boy in the World Series, but he would not be jealous or resentful because he was not one of the stars of the game. 20:35b-38). Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. Compare also Romans 16:20; Ephesians 1:20-21; Colossians 2:14-15; Hebrews 2:14-17. 32:3-5). Mary is a virgin in the accounts of Matthew (1:16; 18-25) and Luke (1:26-38). Jesus Christ, the sinless and perfect Son of God, the only one who could qualify as our substitute, died to satisfy the demands of Gods absolute holiness. Study now. In the first stage, we are all judged from the books according to our works. 1:18-21), a revelation man has ignored. Unconfessed sin stands as a barrier to fellowship with the Lord and His control over ones life. Will the Lord reject forever?And will He never be favorable again? 24:4-26). Therefore, as the Scripture says, And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27). 7 Trumpet Judgments Unnamed Books of Judgment. Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 1 Cor. Yet Ryries Notes Say Otherwise. Commenting on this Samuel Hoyt writes: Within the church today there exists considerable confusion and debate regarding the exact nature of the examination at the judgment seat of Christ. There used to be a sign in the registrars office at Dallas Seminary which read, Salvation is by grace Graduation is by works.. Within the church, there exists a good deal of confusion and disagreement concerning the exact nature of the Bema. All believers will live in the millennium and in eternity with the Lord. (7) It is a time of death (Rev. The goal, however, is always to bring us back to Him (Heb. But this happens as a judgment from God against mans arrogant independence. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 4:10; Rom. The rebels of unbelief must be removed so that only believing Israel will enter into the kingdom (cf. A very interesting, enlightening, and important passage to this subject is 1 Corinthians 11:27-32 for in this passage we have a reference to both the self-judgment of the believer and the discipline judgment of God on believers. Eph. 3:9-14; 9:24-27). The Lord Jesus is the victor, and our victory is really His victory which is appropriated by faith. There is the glorification of living believers in glorified bodies, the resurrection of those believers who have died in the Lord also in glorified bodies, and the translation of both to meet the Lord in the air. This word was taken from Isthmian games where the contestants would compete for the prize under the careful scrutiny of judges who would make sure that every rule of the contest was obeyed (cf. 30:7). The verb used is komizo and means to carry off safe, to carry off as booty. In the middle voice as here, it meant to bear for oneself,16 or to receive back what is ones own.17 Compare Matthew 25:27 and Ephesians 6:8. 24:9, 21, 29; Mark 13:19, 24; Rev. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. Because of this, He cannot have fellowship with anyone who does not have perfect righteousness (Hab. From this passage in Hebrews and others like 1 Corinthians 11:27-32, God disciplines His children for the following reasons: (1) To bring a wayward child who refuses to judge himself back into fellowship (1 Cor. 3:13-15: each mans work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each mans work. Though ones primary focus might be on the future judgments, this study will also cover the judgments of the past and the present because they are related and form a part of the total picture revealed in Scripture. This day of judgment, also known as the Final Judgment, is when Jesus, the Son of God, will judge the living and the dead before destroying the old heaven and earth, which are corrupted of sin. Sin can be defined as anything that opposes Gods will and law. To engage in sin is to disobey or abuse His laws. Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. (3) The Crown of Exultation or Rejoicing (1 Thess. Nobody bats 1000 no matter how good they may appear to men. 4:34f). 1 Cor. Will any punishment be meted out? 6:1; 9:14), of unfruitful deeds (Eph. 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye. The word judgments refers to the decrees or the decisions of God that make up His plan. Gods judgments lead to Gods will, which in turn achieves His purpose. God, knowing our sinful state and having the wisdom to design a plan to bring about our salvation, has made certain decrees, decisions, and judgments to institute His plan. At this resurrection the soul and body are reunited and the person is brought before the throne. Emotion proceeds from the realization of facts in personal experience. An interesting and important passage to this study is Acts 24:15-16because in this passage Paul implicitly made reference to two judgments which are closely related. Two things: (a) This describes all the crowns. Everything about this time will be unprecedented (Zeph. 20:12b, 13b, 15a). He wanted to walk blamelessly, to keep short accounts with God, and to stay in close communion with the Lord lest he should become disqualified for rewards at the Bema (cf. The negative effects involve the following: (1) The loss suffered in 1 Corinthians 3:15 refers to the loss of rewards, not salvation as the verse goes on to make clear. May the reality of this judgment cause us to carefully reflect on the serious consequences of this passage on a Christ-rejecting world. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; Romans 5:12-15 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned 13 for until the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. This judgment affected all of creation (Genesis 3:1718; Romans 8:2022). 11:30). Some crucial questions are: Why are we brought before the Bema? The judge at the Bema bestowed rewards to the victors. While the Bema is going on in heaven (with the church in the Lords presence) a series of terrible judgments will begin to unfold on the earth for a period of seven years to be culminated by the return and manifestation of Christ to earth as the Great White Horse Rider of Revelation 19. But (2) Scripture also uses it of a very special and future time of tribulation that is to come upon the whole earth (Matt. If so, how do we reconcile this with passages like Revelation 7:17, God shall wipe away every tear from their eye, and Revelation 21:4, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away, or with Isaiah 65:17, For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind? Carnality causes broken relationships and pain to those around usour families, friends, associates, and co-workers in the body of Christ (Gal. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. This is clear from the context and the analogy to the Greek athletic games. Though we will not be judged in the sense of punished for sin at the Bema since the Lord has born that for us, we must never take sin lightly because there are many consequences. 14:12-14; Ezek. 5:3; Rev. This judgment proves them sinners and in need of the righteousness which God freely gives through faith in Jesus Christ. God graciously supplies the means by which we may serve Him. They are described in terms of generalities. 21:4). The point, then, is this: Because of the perfect and finished nature of Christs death (note the words who died for us of verse 10), whether we are spiritually alert or not, we will live together with Him through the rapture to face the examination of the Bema. Romans 4:1-5: What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? (Rev 20:11-13) The people at the White Throne Judgment have rejected Christ's Sin Atonement & are judged according to the Law. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. However, at such an event the overwhelming emotion is joy, not remorse. 4:5; cf. But we shall rejoice also as we realize that the rewards given will be another example of the grace of our Lord; for at best we are unprofitable servants (E. Schuyler English, The Church At the Tribunal, in Prophetic Truth Unfolding Today, ed. It is called white because it will be the supreme and undimmed display of the perfect righteousness and justice of God to all mankind. After the fall of Adam and Eve, and as a judgment for mankinds disobedience regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:17), certain curses or judgments were placed upon Satan (the promise of his final doom), upon Adam and Eve, and upon the earth. 6:8; 2 Tim. (1) Christs judgment for sin, dying in the place of the sinner, bearing his sin and judgment on the cross as the sinners substitute. Wiki User. But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. Why did Christ have to die for us? 9-11). Here each unbelievers eternal destiny is declared and determined with ample proof and reason. Both body and soul are eternally separated from God in the eternal Lake of Fire, a very real, literal, and eternal place according the Scripture. For the Lord will execute judgment by fireAnd by His sword on all flesh,And those slain by the Lord will be many. 15:17; Jn. This crown is given for enduring testings (trials) and temptation. Carnal believers have no vision other than their own personal agendas and selfish goals (cf. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor? Rather, it is a place where rewards will be given or lost depending on how one has used his or her life for the Lord. They maintain the seriousness of the examination and yet emphasize the commendation aspect of the judgment seat. Since the Savior has died for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2), the ultimate issue is the sin of unbelief or rejection of Christ. The Tribulation will witness Satans wrath and the persecutions of his man, the Beast (Rev. 14:4), but Ezekiel 20:34-35 shows God brings Israel out from the nations where she has been scattered throughout the times of the Gentiles (gathers her to the last person, Ezek. 6:14f; 9:20; 11:10, 18). 4:13-18). 12:11). 2 Lewis Sperry Chafer Systematic Theology, Vol. It contrasts our crowns with the temporal and temporary treasure of this life. 2:5). 6-19). Since love is a preeminent virtue in Christianity, true selfishness often involves a pursuit of self-interest that violates the law of love.12. (4) That dispensing of rewards is in view is also evident from the Greek words in 2 Corinthians 5:10 translated good (agathosvaluable like good fruit) and bad (phaulosunacceptable like rotten or spoiled fruit). All the graduates are there and excited about graduating, yet at the time of rewards, some sorrow might be experienced, but it is quickly overcome by the joy of the event. 27:19; John 19:13), its use in the epistles by Paul, because of his many allusions to the Greek athletic contests, is more in keeping with its original use among the Greeks. The real issue is whether ones name is in the Book of Life, not ones deeds. Copy. (2) The disqualification mentioned in 1 Corinthians 9:27 means disqualified from rewards, not loss of salvation. Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. Some today refuse to distinguish between the general tribulations of this age that the church will endure, and the unique, universal, and unprecedented Tribulation that will come. 1:4). 19:28; 24:45-47; 25:21, 23; Lk. All who have died without faith in Jesus Christregardless of their status in human history, religiously, politically, economically, or morallymust stand before this throne of judgment. (3) Loss of Power and Production. Gods discipline is patterned after the principles of Proverbs 13:24 which read: He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently. Discipline is an evidence of love. The text reads: Acts 24:15-16 having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a re (2) The second book will be the book of works or deeds. (1) Loss of Fellowship With the Lord. Further, the words awake or asleep of verse 10 refer to a spiritual or moral condition, not whether one is alive or dead when Christ returns as in 4:13-14. But man is separated from God by the problem of Sin. 24). But this sorrow must be somewhat relative because even for the finest of Christians there will be some things worthy of unceasing remorse in the light of Gods unapproachable holiness. John 3:16-18: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. Knowing and having the hope of the resurrection and all that this means to the Christian, the Apostle spoke of his commitment to maintain a clear conscience, one cleared by confession and the forsaking of all known sin (1 John 1:9; Prov. 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. The judgment of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1424). What then is the solution? Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. These could refer to special blessing of rewards to those believers who overcomer special trials and tests rather than a general promise to all believers. (1) All the passages dealing with the Bema or rewards are addressed to believers or pertain to believers of the church (Rom. Is it only for rewards or their loss? Death refers to the body now resurrected while Hades refers to the soul, the immaterial part of man. It is not punitive. And now little children. John is writing to believers. 10 Lewis Sperry Chafer, Systematic Theology, Vol. Before God, we all stand naked, helpless, and hopeless in ourselves. 11:28f; cf. 5:10; cf. And not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming (presence). Please note several things here. 1-2; 1 Cor. (Emphasis mine.). As mentioned above, this is not only contrary to the finished work of Christ who once and for all paid the penalty for our sins, but it is contrary to the teaching of 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11. 8:18-25). Is it sin, good works, or just what? John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for Gods wrath remains on him. Reasons for this will be set forth and developed as we study the nature, purpose, and basis for the Bema. Zane Hodges has some good thoughts on this concept: Scripture does not teach us to be uninterested in our own happiness or well-being. The Archangel* Gabriel is mentioned in 12:4-11; John 15:1-7). Daily forgiveness of those who are within the family of God is distinguished from judicial and positional forgiveness which was applied forensically to all of a persons sins the moment he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.14 We need to distinguish between fellowship forgiveness and legal or forensic forgiveness that justifies us and gives us a standing before God through Christ. The Book of Life: This book contains the names of all believers, of all who have put their faith in Christ and Gods plan of salvation or righteousness through the substitutionary death of Christ. (9) It is a time of internationalism: religiously (Rev. garmin vivoactive 3 vs forerunner 45 12:12-17; 13:7). In view of his use of crown (stephanos, the victors wreath) in other places, and the fact believers will cast their crowns before the Lord (Rev. Such would be inconsistent with the finished work of Christ on the Cross because He totally paid the penalty for our sins. There were also divisions and factions and the focus on personalities rather than the Savior. When Jesus returns, there will be a judgment dividing sheep from the goats. (Matthew 25:31-46) At this judgment those who survived the Tribulation will be separated into two groups. 3:10; 6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:8 and Isa. Do not judge so that you will not be judged. Self-interest in Gods way is legitimate. 3:10). Revelation 7:14 shows us that salvation in the Tribulation (as in the church age) is through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. 2-3). The number forty symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation. So that points us to the purpose, the return of the Savior and what it will mean. All who have scoffed at God, denied His being, rebelled at His rule, or rejected His sovereigntyand in the process, also rejected His Son, the Lord Jesus Christmust at this time stand before this throne to be condemned to eternal judgment. Colossians 2:10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; These verses state the complete results or conclusion: Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more. Discipline from God is the gracious work of a Father to train and develop His children. Specifically, this is the dead of the second resurrection, the resurrection of the unjust, the resurrection unto the second death mentioned in Revelation 20:5-6, 12-14, and John 5:29b. Rom. When the Bible speaks of the last judgment, it is not similar to taking a final test to see whether we pass or fail. That type of judgment has already taken place. This last judgment is the public recognition of decisions long-since made. The last judgment is also known as the Great White Throne judgment. What are they and how are they described in Scripture? Revelation 20:14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is not the final judgment mentioned in Revelation 20:11-15 which is limited to only the unbelieving world. Deeds is the Greek word, ergon, which refers to anything that is done, a deed, action, or work. It is used of good deeds (Matt. (See Appendix A for an explanation of how to become a Christian.). They insist that the tribulation is not the judgment of God, but comes from man and Satan bringing persecution to all. 27:29; Mk. 9 Lewis Sperry Chafer, Major Bible Themes: 52 Vital Doctrines of the Scripture Simplified and Explained, rev. 1 Peter 3:18: For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. 25:41; Isa. 24:31; Ezek. (5) The Crown of Righteousness (2 Tim. (8) The Day of the Lord (Joel 1:15; 2:1; 1 Thess. 1:13a). Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the. A few verses after Phil 1:6, Paul mentions the day of Jesus Christ again. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly. 15:23); (2) the resurrection of the church age saints at the rapture (1 Thess. 1:4; 4:25). Carnal believers are occupied and controlled by their own self-centered desires (Gal. Hope will at last become reality for all those who are delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God (Rom. After our glorification, there will be no sinful nature to produce envy, or jealousy, or resentment, or feelings of dissatisfaction. 18); militarily (Joel 3:2, 9-14; Rev. 13:12; Eph. As a child of God, you are, however, a babe in Christ and you need to grow and be spiritually nourished and built up in the things of Christ. Related Topics: Dispensational / Covenantal Theology, Eschatology (Things to Come), J. Hampton Keathley III, Th.M. For instance, many do not understand that instead of one final judgment, the Bible teaches that there are a series of five to seven future judgments (depending on how they are categorized) that differ in respect to time, purpose, subjects, and circumstances. This is the second death, the lake of fire. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. These passages: (2) God does not judge us for our sin in the sense of making us pay the penalty for that sin. To overdo the sorrow aspect of the judgment seat of Christ is to make heaven hell. It is a gift through faith, but He rewards us for good works. New American Standard Bible Copyright 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. (b) It is also a special crown given for faithfulness in running the race and exercising self-control in order to serve the Lord and finish the race. 9:27). Biblical Verses related to The Day Of Judgement. 1 Cor. While, for Gods own purposes, Satan has been allowed to continue his nefarious schemes, Scripture speaks of three sure events regarding the activity of Satan and his demonic forces: his binding during the millennium, his short release, and his final incarceration in the Lake of Fire. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? gimp add alpha channel to selection. For instance, Matthew 7 which tells us not to judge, is immediately followed with the command, Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces (Matt. All that was done through the energy of the flesh will be regarded as worthless for reward, while all that was done in the power of the Holy Spirit will be graciously rewarded. Condemned along with the world in 1 Corinthians 11:32 most likely refers to the judgment of Rom. I can do nothing on My own initiative. The clear emphasis of Scripture is that the events of Revelation 6-19 constitute a time of Gods special judgment poured out upon the earth. (5) Loss of Desire and Motivation for Service.
