THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
-Romans 14:10 states, … But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you set at nought your brother?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ … As well, 1st Peter 4:17 states, … For the
time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God … The word "judgment" means a separating. This judgment must
begin AT THE HOUSE OF GOD. So where is the house of God? Is it in the sweet by-and-by? Is it a mansion in the sky? NO! YOU
ARE THE HOUSE OF GOD ( 1st Peter 2:5 )!
-As a believer, judgment has already begun in our lives, for we are the house of God. In essence, WE ARE AT THE JUDGMENT
SEAT OF CHRIST NOW! In addition to seeing this, we must also come to realize that JUDGMENT IS NOT A BAD THING, BUT A GOOD
THING. IT IS A VERY GOOD THING! Isaiah 26:9 states, … WHEN GOD’S JUDGMENTS ARE IN THE EARTH, THE INHABITANTS OF
THE WORLD WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS …
-Our life, our ways, our thoughts, and our deeds are being judged and separated by God NOW! We are being separated FROM
SELF, AND UNTO OUR FATHER. We are being transformed into the image of God. God is bringing us through His judgments. For what
purpose?
-1st Corinthians 6:2 states, … Do you not know that the SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD … THE WORLD
SHALL BE JUDGED BY YOU … We are being judged now that we might judge the world in the ages to come. We must allow God
to correct us now that we might be instruments of His correction to the remainder of the creation. God’s dealings with
us at His judgment seat are to qualify us to be judges now and in the ages to come.
-WE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD!-
( Read Obadiah 1:21 )
