Judgment Seat of Christ and Accountability
🌟 The judgment seat of Christ is a post-rapture event where Christians will be judged, but it is not a judgment for their sins.
💒 We will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give account of ourselves to God.
📏 1 Corinthians chapter 3 reveals how God will measure our service for Him and the consequences of our actions.
🔥 The judgment seat of Christ will reveal the true motives behind every person’s work for the Lord.
🌟 The fire of judgment will test and expose the worthiness of each individual’s actions and contributions, separating the valuable from the perishable.
🔥 The things done for the Lord with the right motive will come out of the fire as gold and silver, while the things done for oneself will produce smoke and be considered as stubble.
💎 Our works for ourselves in this world will eventually burn up, but what we do for Jesus will last and be rewarded in heaven.
Motives and Rewards
💔 God is not only concerned with our actions, but also with the condition of our hearts – whether they are tender or hardened.
😇 It seems that God rewards actions done with a good heart, rather than just going through the motions.
💰 “Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” – Jesus emphasizes the importance of focusing on spiritual wealth rather than material possessions.
