Judgement comes to all!!!



2 Corinthians 5:10 [Authorized King James Version]:  "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."

Man will stand in judgement of God either at the Great White Throne of Revelation 20:11-20 or at this "judgement seat of Christ" for reward.  True, we are saved from the eternal wrath of God through the death, burial and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ when we believe [1 Corinthians 15:1-4].  But then are to be ambassadors of this, the life giving, saving Christ Jesus [2 corinthians 5:20].  What is the purpose of the ambassador?  He or she is an exact representation of the one who sent, in this the LORD Jesus Christ.  Then as an ambassador we are to give voice to the act's and works of Him on our behalf.  What might those acts look like that we acknowledged, responded to and then believed; me personally.

I was shown [in scripture] that I was in trouble, that I was dead to God and on my way to hell.  True I didn't want to go to hell, but soon that changed in that I wanted then to be with Christ where ever or what ever that was or what it entailed.  

In my believing God, He put in me a new heart, allowing me now to know him.  Who He was, and who He wants me to be in Him.  I could only come to this end [Philippians 3:12-21] by not only reading but consuming His Word to me [scripture].  I have come a ways, but am only starting this walk in Him.  It is exciting all encompassing and revealing and the end I will never know, thats just the truth of it and how big God is to me.

God didn't take on flesh [Jesus of Nazareth] to be an acceptable sacrifice for my sin, the world's sin.  He took on flesh to be that sacrifice that is required [Hebrews 9:22] to afford me the same life He has.  Then in having that life in Him [Galatians 2:20-21] to be His representative on this earth to those who have not either heard or have not yet believed. 

I have been given a job to do and to complete before I can be removed from this body of death [Romans 7:24] and with Him [2 Corinthians 5:8].  Am waiting in hope of this passing to be now [Titus 2:13].

I don't think that if I do this or that I will get a reward in that day.  It doesn't cross my mind [but rarely].  I do what I do when I do it because I want to honor God for allowing me the opportunity [Galatians 6:10].  Then truthfully I don't even think that way anymore, it comes automatically because I am learning how to die to self [1 Corinthians 15:31].  

I could go on and on,  "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."  1 Corinthians 13:12.  It is really fun and I enjoy the LORD Jesus Christ, God living in me my hope of glory [Colossians 1:27].

So my advise is to "grow in grace" 2 Peter 3:18 and my prayer is:  "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." Ephesians 1:17-23.

Eternal or Everlasting life; which is it?

John 3:16 (KJV)   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .” Why everlasting life, why not eternal life?   is there a difference and if so what? Most resources I have available were of the opinion that they are the same.   I needed to dig deeper.   I soon found that all of man’s ideas on the subject were based on their opinion and very little scripture if any, then the easily discounted.   If I am to find the answer I seek, which is truth; I need to consult scripture.   Words in blue aren’t scripture. “Let a man so account of us ( Paul and his fellow workers ), as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.   1 Corinthians 4:1.   So I was right to search the scriptures concerning my question: to find this answer in His Word. When I started this word study the first thing I noticed was that the most sig...

Importance of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   “ And if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.” I am amazed at how ignorant most are of their salvation.   I will ask “Why, do you think you’ll go to heaven?” or   What happens when you die?”   ninety nine out of a hundred will answer with “Jesus died for my sins.”   True; “Jesus died for the sins of the world, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”   John1:29b.   That is most true but also is “and if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.”   Jesus had to die for the purpose of removing sin, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”   2 Corinthians 5:19.   But this reconciliation can only come when one believes the gospel as pres...

When did the "Church" begin for us today ? ? ?

1 Timothy 1:15-16  (King James Version 1611):  " This is  a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (first, beginning Strong's Concordance # 4413).  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him for life everlasting. The "Church" didn't start with Peter and his presentation of Acts 2:38.  The "Church" started when Paul was on the Damascus Road.  Then it took numerous years in the desert for Paul to come to the understanding of "Faith plus nothing" (Les Feldick).  We are saved by grace through faith, who's faith (Romans 1:17)? "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,  If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12) he ma...
