But Jesus said to him, No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.. How then do we receive Gods Son that we may have the eternal life God has promised us? Romans 3:24-26 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. These and only these are accepted by God and will spend eternity with Him (cf. 5:15; Heb. (2) It is part of the training process by which Gods children are brought into the experience of Gods holiness (Heb. 12; Matthew 24:9, 13f). Such a concept (punishment for sin) erroneously disparages the all-sufficiency of Christs death on the cross.13 Christ paid the penalty for the believers pre- and post-conversion sins. Generally speaking, the principle is stated in Matthew 7:1-5. This is caused by (1) the removal of the church and (2) increase in demonic activity. Abide in Him. Abide is a synonym for fellowship which is the subject of the book (1:3-7). This may indicate something of our authority. The negative effects involve the following: (1) The loss suffered in 1 Corinthians 3:15 refers to the loss of rewards, not salvation as the verse goes on to make clear. Ungodliness is always the source of unrighteousness; ungodliness (turning away from God) leads to idolatry (man worshipping the products of his own mind and hands), and idolatry leads to unchained sensuality. Though some of them were not living as they should, looking ahead and seeing them in glory brought joy and would bring great rejoicing.

It is a family matter. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. The question of sin in regard to Gods justice has been forever satisfied in the mind of God by the all-sufficient sacrifice of His Son. 9:20-21; 2 Thess. Rather, the Judgment Seat of Christ is for the body of Christ, the church. As a result, Bible students have spoken of a time called the Tribulation as that specific future time of trouble as a judgment from God that will come upon the entire world. They are resurrected, gathered before the throne and actually behold the dissolution of heaven and earth as a foreboding preparation for their judgment. He said to the judges, Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and, the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. It is so important to note the emphasis here. Rewards become one of the great motives of the Christians life or should. Because of His love, grace and mercy He has not left us without hope and a solution. 7:18, 22, 27. This is no more a punishment than when a student turns in a worthless assignment and receives an F or a D. His poor work results in a just grade or recompense.

This crown is a reward given for witnessing, follow-up, and ministry to others. Some believe in a partial rapture theory which says that only those in fellowship with the Lord will be raptured as a form of punishment for their sin. This is further verified by the time periods of Revelation which divide the tribulation into two periods of three and one-half years (Rev. Furthermore, we are called upon to make judgments in the sense of evaluations when it comes to selecting elders and deacons, or in dealing with those who have fallen into sin (1 Tim. Though ones primary focus might be on the future judgments, this study will also cover the judgments of the past and the present because they are related and form a part of the total picture revealed in Scripture. But Scripture shows that even this is a manifestation of Gods wrathful judgment that He will cause to rain on the earth. The context suggests that Paul has in mind the return of Christ for the churchthe rapture (1 Thess. 8:18-25). (5) The Promise of Special Responsibilities and Authority of the Lords Possessions (cf. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

The Bible describes one judgment that takes place at the return of Jesus and two judgments If God were to punish the believer judicially for his sins for which Christ has already rendered payment, He would be requiring two payments for sin and would therefore be unjust. 19:17-19; 22:29-30; Rev. And why does God judge believers for unconfessed sin as with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and some of the believers in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 11:28f? Ezek. 8:13; 1 Cor.

He did not whip the losers.8 We might add, neither did he sentence them to hard labor.

We are not to judge others in the sense of condemning them or passing judgment on the opinions of others on doubtful matters as discussed in Romans 14. But what did Paul mean by this? The awesome fact is that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment. The judgment of God is also described in the Bible as a process, not strictly the rendering of a verdict or passing of a sentence. For example, Peter tells us that "the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God" ( 1 Peter 4:17 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? An interesting and important passage to this study is Acts 24:15-16because in this passage Paul implicitly made reference to two judgments which are closely related. It is an awesome and solemn scene and one which should cause everyone to stop and think about the eternal implications of this future event. Since the church is gone, caught up to be with the Lord (1 Thess. So, much as we see in Romans 1:18f, God turns the world over to the consequences of its choices. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. While, for Gods own purposes, Satan has been allowed to continue his nefarious schemes, Scripture speaks of three sure events regarding the activity of Satan and his demonic forces: his binding during the millennium, his short release, and his final incarceration in the Lake of Fire. 7:9; Matt.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil. 2:12-14 [note the emphasis on good works]). 3:13-15: each mans work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each mans work.

Those who hold this view believe that the Christian will stand glorified before Christ without his old sin nature. John 3:16-18: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. Added to this are the declarations of the following verses of Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
