He said in verse 9, “Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent to be pleasing to God.” Why? “For we must all appear before the bema, the judgment seat of Christ. For he would give an account for everything he had done, or not done while on earth.Īnd that’s why in 2 Corinthians when Paul later wrote back to these Corinthians he used that image of the judgment seat. What is it that gave Paul the courage to stay firm in his faith? Well, it was because as Paul looked at Gallio on that judgment seat it brought to mind another judgment seat that Paul would stand before one day the judgment seat of Christ. He never gave an inch he never coward in fear. But instead of backing down and apologizing for his ministry, Paul never flinched. And it was an amazing thing to stand there where the Apostle Paul probably stood as he looked into the eyes of Gallio who had the power of life and death over Paul. Gallio, and the prisoners would be brought before him. And it’s a place where the proconsul would sit. It’s just really a raised platform isn’t it, David? We’ve all been there before. If you go to Corinth you can see that bema that judgment seat. And they hauled Paul, Acts 18:12 says, “They brought him before the judgment seat.” The bema, the judgment seat. And so they concocted some charge against the Apostle Paul, and they brought him before the Roman Procurator Gallio who was the governor, the ruler over Corinth. Great ministry there many Jews and Gentiles were won to faith.īut, not everybody was excited about Paul’s ministry there, especially the Jews.

What does it really matter what happens to me at that judgment?įirst of all tonight let’s talk about the reality of the judgment seat of Christ. How are we going to be judged?Īnd then finally we are going to look at the consequences of the judgment seat of Christ. Then secondly, we are going to look at the basis of the judgment seat of Christ. I’d like to talk first of all about the reality of the judgment seat of Christ. And tonight in our few minutes together I’d like to do three things. Heaven will not be the same for every believer because of an event we’re going to talk about tonight in Bible prophecy.Īnd tonight what I want to spend a few moments, if my voice holds out talking about is the judgment seat of Christ that every believer is going to face. And everybody gets the same little house, and we’re all the same in Heaven. And I answer questions like: Will we know one another in Heaven? Do people in Heaven know what is happening on earth? What are we going to do in Heaven besides floating on a cloud and plucking a harp? I mean what do we do for all eternity? But the question I’m asked most often and one that people are most surprised about by the answer is this one: Is Heaven going to be the same for everyone?Īnd you know so many Christians are under the idea that Heaven is going to be kind of a sanctified socialism where everybody gets the same little plot of land. And in that book I answer ten of the most frequently asked questions about Heaven. This year I have a new book out called, A Place Called Heaven. And I know you’re blessed by this ministry.
