The Judgment Seat of Christ 2 Corinthians 5:10 The sobering fact that we will give an accounting of our life to the Lord and stand before Him in judgment is a huge catalyst for us to live our life with one eye on eternity. Paul addresses our appointment with the Lord in this verse. The Christian faces several types of judgements in his life. We are to judge our own selves frequently.1 Corinthians 11:31;2 Corinthians 13:5 We are chastened by the Lord. We are taken to God's woodshed when we are disobedient or wayward. Hebrews 12:6. 3. Our works will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ for the purpose of rewards, not salvation. The judgment seat of Christ will reveal our lives of service for Christ exactly as they have been. Not only the amount of our service, but also its quality, and even the very motives that prompted it will be brought into review. It is an appointment we must keep. There is no getting out of this judgment or delaying it. We will be face to face with Christ. There will be no concealment or hiding; no pretending or excuses; no spin or attorneys. The look in His eyes will say it all. Our goal is that our service for Christ is acceptable to Him. Every one of us has the opportunity for the "Well Done" of Jesus Christ. Christ will examine our motive of service and our faithfulness. That which is done with the wrong motives such as glorifying self instead of Christ, unfaithfulness, neglect of duty or opportunities, will be considered unacceptable, worthless,and labor. Many will feel shame because they wasted their lives on themselves. There will be tears at this judgement, but the Lord will wipe them away.May we all live our lives with eyes on eternity.
