The judges chair Christ

The judges chair Christ The idea of a public consultation before the bar of our Lord verdict should be incentive enough to awaken the slumbering saint of God. " But few, if any, there is always a second thought. Paul said: "So each of us an overall view of himself to God" (Romans 14:12). Perhaps if the doctrine of the evaluation and reward, rather than the pulpits of our attention to a life of holiness and obedience. Remember. How are you on that day? Will you trust in him or her face before him the red and spoiled for life and the abandonment of waste? It 'something we, as all Christians have to do. Are you willing to appear before the court? And if you say yes, you can talk without the necessary consideration of the task that stands before you. Yes, the court is a solemn occasion for many, that largely day.Many are of the opinion that there is a general resurrection and the ruling, but the Holy Scripture speaks of no fewer than seven decisions that arise from the cross of Christ 's beginning of the eteal state. These include: (1) the verdict of the Christ on the cross (John 12:31), (2) of the believers (1 Cor. 11:31-32), (3) works of the faithful (2 Cor. 5: 10 ), (4) of the nations "(Mt 25:31-46), (5) Israel (Ezek. 20:33-44), (6) of fallen angels (1 Cor. 6:3; 2 Pets. 2: 4; Jew 6) and (7) not to save the great white throne (Revelation 20:11-15). Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:10: "Because all we need first to chair the jury of Christ that anyone can put things in his body after he has done, whether good or bad. "The basis of this ruling, the faithful works. As for the sins of believers, reinforcing says: "Even if his sins were judged on the cross and can not be brought to the court of the place of Christ, works or services can be judged." Therefore, we see that the lives of believers, there is a threefold case: (1), as a sinner, his verdict passed on the cross (Romans 8:1), (2) as a child, the believer must judge himself and confess his sins, or else expect punishment (1 Cor. 11:31-32, Heb. 12:7), and (3) as a servant, a future awaits the verdict of the judges on the chair faithful Christ (2 Cor. 5 : 10, 1 Cor. 3:9-15; Rome. 14:10). According to Thayer, the verdict or Bema seat, which assembled on site, a platform, the forum: Use the official seat of a judge, MT. xxvii. 19, John XIX. 13, Acts xvii. 12, 16 ... "The Bema was also referring to a platform or in greek games to award the participants to win. For many it is a day of reward and honor, but is that the participants also suffer a loss (2 John 8). John says: "And now, my dear children, in love with him that, when you can have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming" (1 John 2:28). When that decision in the future, instead of the believers? Paul told the faithful of Corinth: "Therefore, do not judge before the time until the Lord comes, who reveal the mysteries of darkness and will manifest recommend the heart, and then every man has the praise of God" (1 Cor. 4:5; CF. 1 John 2:28, 2 Tim. 4:8, Rev. 22:12). Therefore, the ruling seat of Christ takes place in the enthusiasm of the church, when "the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17), before retuing to the heavenlies. "Paul exhorts believers to Phillipians" work their salvation with fear and trembling. For God, who worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure "(Phil 2:12-13). We are working on "what God" in "(NIV), because we are" in Christ Jesus, has done good works "(Ephesians 2:10). R. Paul Van Gorder comments: "God has a project, a field of service for every believer. The "good works" that the Christian is in order, are those who are "so good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" "Our" works "under the control of him, whose eyes like a flame of fire "(Revelation 1:14, 2:18). The Divine Judge that our work is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ. John 5:22 says: "For no one directed the father, but all committed to the verdict son." The sentence instead of Christ will come a time when the true character of our works will be manifested. Vine says: "For example, in the Scriptures literally, is more than appearance. A person may be a false pretext, or without notice of what he really is, to show that is shown in true nature ...." The study of the works brought to light, if it is good or "bad" (kakos), which means "useless." The true character of service (1 Cor. 3:13), as well as our motives (1 Cor. 4:5) is revealed.What the results of this test? Believers or receive a prize (1 Cor. 3:8 a) loses or reward (1 Cor. 3:15). The faithful have the right foundation, and others, on this basis, which is Christ (1 Cor. 3,10-11). The believer must also be on that foundation with the materials. Two types of developers and two types of materials used. The spiritual believer will be gold, silver and precious stones, the world will be a believer with wood, hay, and stubble (1 Cor. 3:12-15). The gold, silver and precious stones are a product of creation, while the wood, hay and stubble are the result of natural growth. The first are the results of the Spirit of God, life of the faithful, while the latter are the works of the old caal nature. No one builds with gold, silver, precious stones or wood, hay and stubble. In this life, the results seem massive and imposing, but the ruling here, are shown what they are: wood, hay and stubble. "The day shall declare that" (1 Cor. 3:13). J. Veon McGee Notes: As you know, a small piece of gold is not as visible as a stack of hay. Maybe God is the only one who knows that there is gold. Now a ba is a different issue - I have traveled in flat agricultural land, and it seemed to me, I could see the ba, the twenty kilometers away. There are a lot of people building the ba, and everyone hears what they do. The Haystack will be tested at some point, so it is not a ba left, because the test is by fire. The same also works in wood or stubble.All works through self-awareness, self-presumption, and some other words that begin with the prefix itself (and there are many), the courts are in a chair only to find the wood or stubble. The manufacturer of the world to find his works destroyed by fire, but he himself saved, yet so as through fire "(1 Cor. 3:15), the Alford explains," - ie as a builder whose building consumed Fuga with personal security, but with the loss of his job. "The Holy Bible speaks of five crowns, which are granted to the faithful, whose lives are faithful to the Lord. These crowns are the winners of the crowns (Stephanos), not to be confused with the royal crown (tiara), who is Christ alone. These five crowns are: (1) The crown of life, or "Martyr's Crown" (Js. 1:12, Rev. 2:10). The believer must love the Lord more than his own life and faithfulness until death, when he refers to the crown of life. Jesus said: "For those who save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel, that will save it" (Mk 8:35). Norman H. Camp Notes "in the coming great tribulation will receive many of the crown of life, because they will be killed after the word of God and witness to them (Revelation 6:9-11)." (2) The crown of glory "or" , Pastor of the Crown "(1 Pet. 5:2-4). This is for the shepherd who feeds the flock, and not the master of the "heritage of God." It 'an example for others and not to the ministry for financial gain or profit. He was awarded the "Chief Shepherd" when it appears. (3) The crown of joy or "Soul Winner's Crown" (1 Thess. 2:19, 20; Phil. 4:1). This crown is for those who win souls for the Lord. The winners of souls must be the responsibility of every Christian. The Apostle James says: "He converteth sinner from the error of his way to save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins" (Jas. 5:20). (4) The crown of justice for those who are "his love" (2 Tim. 4:8). This is the crown for those looking for the "blessed hope", the retu of the Lord for her to Rapture. They live "soberly, righteously and godly in this world" (Titus 2:12). (5) The Crown unbribable or "Victor's Crown" (1 Cor. 9:25-27). This is the crown for those who practice self-control over their impulses and desires. Paul was close to his body in subjection, so that by any means, when I have preached to others, I would like to be a Castaway "(1 Cor. 9:27). Paul was not afraid that he might lose his salvation, but that could be (adokimos) "disqualified for the prize" (NIV). Here's the thought of Paul that rewards would be based on the ruling seat of the revelation of the Holy 4:10 Christ.In seen casting "their crowns before the throne." These are not believers are too proud, nor the permanent possession, but to love the Lord in adoration. Paul told the faithful of Corinth: "For you have a price, then God in your body and your spirit, which is of God" (1 Cor. 6:20). Casting crowns at the Savior's feet is an act of glorification of the eteal destiny of every believer in all eteity. D.M. Panton, in his study, the court of the seat of Christ, says that "for every soul saved the script as a race, an athlete wrestling, fighting against a warrior a farmer sowing, a mason, a fugitive flying, a storm and all besieger this strenuous intensity on a fundamental of revelation - 'that is God, and that he is a reward "(Heb. XI. 6)." Larry W. Cockerham is best known for his prophetic ministry of teaching based on the inspiration and authority of the Bible.
