Sandy Higgins expounds the topic of the judgment seat of Christ. When will it take place? Where? Why? How? Readings: Rom 14:10-12, 1 Cor 3:10-15, 4:1-5, 2 Cor 5:10, Heb 13:17, Rev 22:12-13. (Recorded in Barrington Gospel Hall, NJ, USA) The post The Judgment Seat of Christ | Sandy Higgins first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.

One of the clearest appointments mentioned in scripture is the day of reckoning which all Christians have with King Jesus. Individually, one by one, every child of God will stand before the gracious, merciful, and kind King who will then evaluate the eternal worth of the lives which we live don earth. Jesus promises reward for all who lived for Him! Interestingly, while salvation is equal and free, rewards are not. Salvation is freely given through faith in Christ, but rewards are all earned by the Christian. How we are living for Christ during this present life actually merits or forfeits eternal reward. This is incredible motivation for all Jesus-followers to live proactively for eternal things with pure, spiritual motivations. This message places before us that moment when we stand before the One who loves us most, and we then find out how much our lives mattered for His glory.

We welcome John Brooks today as he looks at various scriptures in discussing the judgment seat of Christ or Bema seat and future judgement for Christians and their rewards.

In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through Matthew 7:7 to 29 and explains how Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a sobering reality. There are only two paths, two gates, two trees, two fruits, two teachers, two prophets, two voices, and two foundations. Every person must choose. Jesus contrasts true discipleship with counterfeit spirituality and warns that outward religion without inward obedience will collapse when judgment comes. This passage not only warns unbelievers about salvation, it also calls believers to choose obedience, discernment, and a life built on God's standard rather than the world's. Jesus invites His followers to enter the narrow gate, walk the difficult road of discipleship, reject false teaching, and build their lives on the solid rock of His Word. Pastor Brandon also shows how these contrasts fit into the broader Kingdom program. The narrow way leads to life and future reward, while the broad way leads to loss, destruction, and a wasted life at the Judgment Seat of Messiah. Learn to ask, seek, and knock. Enter the narrow gate. Examine the fruit. Listen to the true Shepherd. Build your life on the rock and avoid the collapse of a life built on sand. Watch now and let the words of Jesus guide your choices in these last days.

Read Online“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.”  Luke 21:28This passage above concludes a series of teachings by Jesus on the suffering and persecution that will come in this world. But His teachings conclude with this line above, which offers great hope in anticipation of Jesus' return in glory. This passage speaks of the prophetic vision of Daniel (Daniel 7:13–14) that terrified Daniel when he saw it. He witnessed the great persecution to come, as well as the destruction of all evil that will accompany the return of the Son of Man.When you think about both the final coming of Christ as well as your own future death, what comes to mind? If you were informed by an angel that tomorrow would be that day, the day that the Son of Man would return in all His splendor and glory to bring about an end to this world and to issue forth His judgment upon it, how would you react? Would you be terrified? Overjoyed? Hopeful? Confused? Perhaps a little of each of these reactions would be present. Of this time, Jesus said that “nations would be in dismay” and that “People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming into the world.” So what is your reaction to this promised day of our Lord?Those who “die of fright” are clearly those who will experience this day completely unprepared. Meeting the Son of Man, the Son of God, the Savior of the World and the Eternal Judge when you are completely unprepared should be frightful. Imagine, for example, that you were hosting a large dinner party and you got your days mixed up. The day arrived and you weren't expecting anyone until the following week, but the guests started to arrive in great numbers. Imagine your anxiety and embarrassment. Such an experience would be nothing compared to being unprepared for the judgment of Christ when we stand before Him at the time of our death and then at the Final Judgment at the end of the world.The good news is that on that day, for those who are truly prepared through a life of faith and selfless service of God's will, they are told to “stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.” If you do all you can to prepare for that day, then it will be a day in which you anticipate with the utmost hope and excitement. You will indeed be able to stand erect, turn your eyes to the coming Judge of All, and receive the eternal reward that He so deeply desires to bestow. But this will be your experience only if you are truly ready for that day through a life lived in complete imitation of Christ.Reflect, today, upon that final day. Imagine every person ever created standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Every sin and every virtue will be made manifest on that day. The minds and hearts of all will be seen in the light as they are revealed to all by God. And those who have lived lives of fidelity will rejoice as they see God's justice and His mercy unite as His judgments are issued forth. If this day is one that frightens you, consider the reasons why. If you do not look forward to this definitive moment in time, then perhaps you need to ponder more deeply those things you need to do so as to be fully prepared. Prepare yourself today. Do not wait. Our Lord could return at any time. Do not be caught off guard. My eternal Judge, You promise to return to earth at a definitive moment in time to bring about the fullness of justice. May I always be prepared for that day through a life lived in union with You and Your holy will. I pray for that day to come quickly, dear Lord, and that all Your children will be ready to meet You when You come. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: © José Luiz Bernardes RibeiroSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In this sermon, Pastor Snook turns our attention to one of the most significant yet often misunderstood concepts in biblical theology: The Promise of Rewards in Heaven. Our bible text is the foundational passage of II Corinthians 5:10, which states, 'For we must 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.' We are taught about the  'Judgment Seat of Christ,' known in the Greek as the Bema, and its purpose not as a verdict on salvation—which is settled through faith in Christ—but as an evaluation of the believer's service, faithfulness, and obedience. Join us as we explore the motivations for such service and detail the Five Crowns promised to those who faithfully labor for the Lord.We explore the reasons that should compel us to serve: the personal motivation to please Jesus 4and the practical duty to persuade the lost5. Finally, we detail the Five Crowns—for victory over the flesh, soul-winning, enduring temptation, and more—that faithful servants will receive6666666666666666666666666.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question relating to good works and 1 Corinthians 3:15. At the Judgment Seat of Christ, will all believers have at least some good works? Will some have zero good works? What gets consumed by the fire and what lasts?

“The judgment seat of Christ” can fill Christians with a great amount of trepidation and fear. The thought of standing before Him to give an account of one's life quickly brings to mind all of the failures along the way. However, is this how Christ wants His people to think? This sermon will explore the Apostle Paul's message to the Corinthians on how we can not only remove fear from this judgment scene, but also eagerly anticipate its arrival.  A sermon given by Greg Chandler on November 9, 2025.

In our last episode we discovered that every believer's life will be examined at the Judgment Seat of Christ. We saw that all we have said and done that is wood, hay, and straw will go up in smoke, while all we have said and done that is gold, silver, or precious stones all be imperishable and will be rewarded.Today's episode is a search of the three major Scriptural passages on the judgment seat of Christ in order to discover the quality that makes a work imperishable. We will discover three significant components of an imperishable work. Join me for this very practical investigation.

Life is short, but what we build can last forever.

Kipling “Doğu Doğu'dur, Batı da Batı'dır; asla birleşmez yolları/Ta ki yer ve gök Tanrı'nın yüce hüküm kürsüsünde hazır bekleyene dek (Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet/Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat)” demişti. Bunu derken aslında Batı açısından Doğu'nun, asla bir araya gelemeyeceği bir “öteki” olduğunu vurguluyordu.

Thomas Carlyle once wrote, “He who has no vision of eternity has no hold on time.” He is exactly right! We have discovered that every believer must appear at the judgment seat of Christ. Now you ask, “Why is God going to judge believers at the bema?”  A study of the Bible reveals two basic reasons for the judgment seat of Christ. First, there is the present motivation of the believer. Second, there is the future manifestation of the believer. Join me as we examine these life-impacting truths!

In this message, Pastor Brandon breaks down Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 6:1–18 — exposing the difference between doing the right thing for the wrong reason and living for the audience of One.   Jesus warned that even good spiritual disciplines — giving, praying, and fasting — can be corrupted by pride when our goal is to be seen by men. The question isn't just what we do for God… it's why we do it.   When you give in secret, pray sincerely, and fast privately, Jesus promises that “your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” It's not about religious performance — it's about pure motives, private devotion, and eternal reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10).   Discover how to: ✅ Guard your heart from hypocrisy ✅ Develop a private devotional life that pleases God ✅ Trade human applause for heavenly reward  

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Eight. Every believer will one day stand before the blazing brilliance of Jesus at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Continuation of Zechariah study (chapter 2). Connection to previous teaching on the Feast of Tabernacles—God's appointed times foreshadow His redemptive plan. Emphasis: Jesus is the only perfect role model; all others fall short. Key Vision: The Measuring Line Zechariah sees a man measuring Jerusalem. Message: Jerusalem will expand beyond walls, inhabited with abundance. God Himself promises to be a wall of fire around Jerusalem and glory within it. Points forward to the New Jerusalem (Revelation) where God is the light and dwelling place. Prophetic Themes God's Set Times & Plan The feasts are God's appointments, not just Israel's. Fulfilled in Jesus' first coming; final fulfillment awaits His return. God's plan is global: from a lamb for one (Isaac) → family (Passover) → nation (Levitical priesthood) → whole world (Christ). Judgment on Nations Nations opposing Israel touch “the apple of God's eye” and will face judgment. Zechariah links closely with Revelation and Daniel: warnings of Babylon (world system) and call to “come out” from it. America and modern nations risk falling into Babylon's errors of pride, wealth, and forgetfulness of God. Messiah's Coming & Millennial Kingdom Jesus will dwell among His people; many nations will join the Lord. Three main judgments: Judgment Seat of Christ – believers' works judged, not salvation. Sheep & Goats Judgment – survivors of tribulation separated (Matthew 25). Great White Throne – final judgment of unbelievers. Natural people will survive into the Millennium; children born then must choose Christ. Some will still rebel, even with direct access to Jesus. Millennial Realities Long life restored; judgment executed swiftly by Christ ruling with a rod of iron. Feast of Tabernacles continues during the Millennium—nations refusing to honor it will suffer drought. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years, then released briefly to deceive again, before final destruction. Warnings & Applications Human rebellion: Even in perfect conditions with Christ present, some will still reject Him—showing the depth of human pride and sin. True justice: God's judgment is righteous, unlike human corruption; He sees hearts and thoughts. Modern relevance: America, like Israel, risks judgment by forgetting God, trusting in wealth, and opposing His purposes. Encouragements Believers' sins are covered and forgotten in Christ—salvation brings complete forgiveness. History and prophecy confirm God's sovereignty: His Word and His promises always come to pass. Psalm 2 reminds us: though nations rage, God laughs at their plans. Christ will reign as King of Kings. Closing Prophecy read from 2020: America missed her day of visitation; the world is descending toward its appointment with the Creator. Urgent call: Prepare for God's appointments, trust Christ fully, and remain faithful. Ended with the Lord's Prayer.

Judgement Day—it's one of the most misunderstood topics in the Bible. But what if it's not about fear at all?

Learn how to: Prepare for eternity with confidence Move from being a convert to a disciple Live a life of Kingdom impact This episode will encourage you to shift your focus from fear of the future to hope in Christ.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Here in chapter 3 of the book of Romans, Paul shows us a detailed look at the doctrine of justification by faith as opposed to the Law of Moses. What is justification? It renders the believer ‘just as if' they had never sinned, otherwise known as The Great Exchange. You give Jesus your sin, and in exchange for that, He gives you His righteousness rendering you sinless from God's perspective. But remember! There is a judgment coming called the Judgment Seat of Christ, and you will be graded there on your works after salvation. This is Part #3 in a series.

Don't Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers' judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ's displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We're Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ's Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won't change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ's behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it's a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it's across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn't matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don't, who will?

• Examples of “saved” meaning glorified • How can I be careful about reading the Bible, so I don't confuse myself or misunderstand God's Word? • What about works? • The judgment seat of Christ: Review • The judgment seat of Christ: Rewards • Jesus: The generous judge • Consequences of failure The Bible emphasizes the necessity of our studying and applying the Word of God, but when we try to read it, sometimes we find it's not easy to understand. Listen to this lesson to learn a number of ways to read the Bible in meaningful ways. Hear vital questions to ask of the the passages we are reading. Attend church and hear messages from a pastor-teacher to help us to see how Scripture builds on Scripture. Learn about the Judgment Seat of Christ where each believer will be evaluated and be challenged to see your life as training for your roles and responsibilities in the Kingdom of God.

In this time of worship and reflection, we were reminded that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances. We considered how our perspective on prophecy and eternal judgment impacts the way we live right now. We reflected on the assurance of our identity in Christ, even when we feel unworthy, and we found encouragement to draw near to God in the face of rejection and pain. Through it all, we were led to fix our eyes on God's love, seek intimacy with Him, and live from a place of surrender and confidence in His view of us.

There will be no shame—No fear—only rewards. This is the moment where your eternal purpose in the thousand-year reign with Christ on Earth will be revealed.

Q: I'm studying Revelation chapter 20 with BSF right now. I've never understood something about the final judgement. How do we reconcile verses such as Matthew 16:27 referencing the rewards individual believers will receive during the final judgment with teachings found in Galatians about freedom from the law (behavior and sins condemnation) and concepts such as every good and perfect gift comes from the father of lights. I think I've heard in church, about rewards and extra jewels in your crown, but I'm not certain where that is in the Bible. It is a little confusing to consider freedom through Christ and also a reward system that doesn't equally reward if we can't add or take away anything from the work of Christ on the cross. Summary In this episode , Dr. E and Hanna tackle a nuanced question about Revelation 20 and the concept of eternal rewards. Drawing from multiple New Testament passages, Dr. E outlines seven distinct judgments found in Scripture, explaining the Judgment Seat of Christ as a moment for believers' works—not their salvation—to be evaluated. He unpacks how rewards in heaven are not based on merit, but are gracious gifts from God, rooted in faithfulness and obedience. The conversation explores the meaning of crowns, such as the crown of righteousness and the unfading crown of glory, and how believers will ultimately cast these rewards before Christ's throne. They also reflect on the earthly mindset that struggles with the idea of disparity in heaven and offer reassurance that envy and pride will be absent in eternity. This episode encourages believers to live faithfully now, knowing that our lives carry eternal significance beyond what we can see. Takeaways Eternal rewards are not about merit but about faithfulness and obedience to God. Scripture describes multiple types of judgment, including the judgment seat for believers. Crowns of righteousness and glory are symbols of God's gracious recognition. Rewards will be cast at Christ's feet—there's no room for pride or envy in eternity. Modern culture often downplays eternal life, but Jesus emphasized it repeatedly. Living with an eternal perspective reshapes how we view our work, suffering, and purpose.

The Roar & The Rescue | Jeremy Johnson | Fearless Church In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson brings a bold word about standing in truth, love, and conviction during turbulent times. “The Roar & The Rescue” is a prophetic call to the church to rise up like Jesus—both Lion and Lamb—carrying justice and mercy into a broken world. From the chaos in our culture to the battles in our own hearts, this message unpacks how the Word of God is our true foundation. Pastor Jeremy reminds us that storms reveal where we've built on sand, but also give us a chance to rebuild on the rock.

What will these judgments look like, and who will be judged?  Ron has answers today as he wraps up his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father's House and My Eternal Home.”
