Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Everybody will appear to God for judgment—either at the Judgment Seat of Christ or the White Throne Judgment
Social distinction will provide no escape from the Judgment – Isaiah 3:1-3, 24:2
And as it is appointed unto
man once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once
offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall
He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
— Hebrews 9:27-28
For as it is written, as I
live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue
shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of
himself to God.
– Romans 14:11-12
For we shall all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
– 2 Corinthians 5:10
And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book
was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to
their works. – Revelation 20:12-13

JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
The Judgment Seat of Christ happens after the rapture and is only for the believers. The believer will be judged out of the Lambs book of life. God will use fire (representing Gods purifying judgment) to test your works. Things done in the flesh will be burned up like wood, hay, and stubble. Things done for Christ will be like gold, silver, and precious stones that cannot be burned. During this time the believer cannot have his salvation taken away. Hebrews 10:17 tells us he will not remember our sins. This, most likely, will not be a fearful time for the believer. – 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 What believers will be accountable for... |
WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT
The White Throne Judgment is for all unbelievers. This judgment will take place after the millennium and all Christians will be present to watch. Christ will judge all who have not placed their trust in Him as their personal Savoir here. At this time it is too late for that person to accept Christ, but everybody will confess to Christ. Everybody here will face the second death (being cast into the lake of fire) because their name wasn’t written in the Lambs Book of Life. After this there will be no sin or death, the saved will dwell with Christ in heaven forever. If you are saved you will not have to stand before the great White Throne. Everybody will stand at one of these two judgments. — Revelation 20:11-15 |
God will reward us for the work we did on
earth by giving us crowns in heaven.
There are five different crowns described in the Bible:
The Incorruptible Crown. This crown is for
those who do not indulge the
body and make it the most important thing in life. – 1
Corinthians 9:25
The Crown of Rejoicing. This crown is
given to those who truly find their joy in the
Lord and by their lives win many souls to Christ. – 1
Thessalonians 2:19
The Crown of Righteousness. This crown
will be given to faithful and loyal Christians
who are looking ahead to a special event (the rapture). –
2 Timothy 4:8
The Crown of Life. This crown is given to
those who show their love to the Lord
by enduring trials. – James 1:12
The Crown of Glory. This crown is given to
pastors who are good examples and care for the people in their churches
and care for them properly. – 1 Peter 5:4; Isaiah
28:5
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. – Revelation 3:11
