The Judgment Seat Of Christ A Biblical And Theological Study

The New Testament has much to say about the day when Christ will evaluate His Bride, the Church, when all true believers in Christ will see Him just after the resurrection of dead believers and the rapture of living believers. According to the Bible, this event could even occur today! Are you ready for it? For many centuries Christians have been confused about the timing, participants, seriousness, purpose, and final outcome of this great divine evaluation of the Church. Is it the next revealed event on God's calendar? Will all Christians be involved or only leaders? Is this event distinct from God's judgment of unbelievers? Is this a judgment to determine a person's eternal salvation or eternal reward? Will this event be essentially positive or will it involve punishment for disobedience? What effects will this judgment have afterwards in Christ's kingdom? THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST was originally written as Dr. Samuel L. Hoyt's doctoral dissertation and has now been revised and updated to answer these relevant questions from Scripture with careful, balanced, and thorough exegesis. THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST addresses a vital subject of eternal significance for every Christian.

The Judgement Seat of Christ Rediscover the amazing TRUTHS that surround the Judgement Seat of Christ – one of the great forgotten treasures of Scripture. It is a theme central to the doctrine of the New Testament authors and especially to Jesus Christ Himself. Yet it is often missing in modern preaching and teaching. RECEIVE a life-changing eternal perspective! Once awakened to this theme, it will be hard to read even one page of the New Testament without seeing it plainly, or feeling it’s influence. THIS is REAL. It matters how you live. It matters what you do during your life. THIS is what you NEED to KNOW before you GO into ETERNITY!

The subject of “Judgment” is a large one in the word of God and encompasses such, as the judgment of the cross, the judgment on the believer in chastening, the self judgment of the believer, the judgment of the believer’s works, at the judgment seat of Christ, with the exception of the last mentioned judgment, which has already been considered. These judgments are not related with the eschatological program of God. It is necessary to consider four judgments that have eschatological implications: the judgment on the nation Israel, the judgment of the nations, the judgment of the fallen angels and the judgment of the Great White Throne. This study will give explanatory reasons for these judgments.

Face to Face with ChristNo hiding. No opportunity to put a better spin on what you did. No attorney to represent you. The look in His eyes says it all.Like it or not, standing before Christ is precisely where you and I shall some day be, 'for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ' (2 Corinthians 5:10). And while we will not lose our entrance to heaven if we are believers, what we do in our earthly life will determine our standing in the eternal kingdom. There are eternal consequences to what we do. Jesus will not wink at our disobedience. He does not play favorites. We will be rewarded according to our faithfulness. There is no exception, no special deferment. When God calls our name we will be there. We cannot hide, for God will find us; we cannot scheme to make ourselves look good, for God shall see us. We cannot excuse ourselves, for God knows us. In Your Eternal Reward, pastor Erwin Lutzer teaches readers not only the effects of the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne, but shares what Jesus will be looking for and how we can use the resources of this life to store up treasures in heaven. This life is training for the next. We are to be learning the rules of the kingdom and running the race to win the prize Christ has promised to His faithful servants. When He calls your name, will you hear Him say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant'?

Are you spurned on by the thought of the reward that awaits you in heaven - or do you regard this as carnal and superficial? R.T. Kendall looks at various aspects of the subject of 'judgement' as it is described in the Bible. He interprets the relevant texts with sound exegesis that does not toe any particular 'party line'. He gives a clear picture of the purposes and effects of the judgement. He also explores the effect of not living with right attitudes towards other believers or zeal for Christian work. All of the subjects discussed will have an effect on our reward. Without softening the process of God's judgement Kendall shows that there will be many unexpected additions and omissions from God's book of life.

Joe Hanley has been lecturing and writing for over 50 years on Bible subjects. Over the years, he came to recognize a void in the study of the judgment as related to the Revelation. He also noticed many writers both inside and outside of his fellowship complicating the Revelation to the extent it appeared completely subjective. With an eye to this shortcoming, The Judgment Seat of Christ has been written comparing Bible phrases with Bible phrases and Bible descriptions to Revelation symbols. The Revelation the Lord gave to John is the current newspaper of his day. John says, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3: Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." May God bless all who look upon its pages with open minds and with a love of the truth.
