As the Bible says, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.” We can understand being rewarded by Christ for the good things which we have done for Him, but what does the Bible mean when it says we will also receive what is due us for the bad? Could it be that the unfaithful Christian will not receive the same reward as the faithful Christian? Will there be tears at the Judgment Seat of Christ because of the way we have lived? Will there be a loss of rewards, honors and privileges that will determine our status in Heaven for all eternity?

Everything we have done for Christ will be evaluated and rewarded. We could never earn salvation by our good works.īut the Judgment Seat of Christ has to do with how we have lived for Christ after He saved us. Salvation is entirely the free gift of God and received the moment a person believes in Christ.

God Will Wipe Away All Tears IntroductionĬhristians are told in Scripture, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” But what is the purpose of this judgment? Didn’t Jesus pay the full penalty for our sins and God remembers them no more? If so, why will Christians still be judged by Christ? This judgment has nothing to do with salvation. When Jesus evaluates your life, will you be sorry about what he tells you? Does that mean there will be tears?
