THE JUDGMENT SEAT

 "FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST; THAT EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY…"

 II COR. 5:10

 THE FACTS

We will stand… Paul was a Christian so the word "We" means the Christians. The Christians will give an account for their:

A. TALENTS--For Self or for Savior

B. TREASURES--Why we gave--Where we gave---

and what we gave.

C. TIME Whether we used or abused our time.

 THE FIRE I COR. 3

The eyes of Jesus will pierce into each Christian and then they will see their works remain or burn. The fire will test our works as to our:

A. MOTIVE--Why did we work? Was jt for Glory of

Self? This day will reveal who is truly a success for God.

B. METHODS--Many today are using Gimics and Games to build a work. On this day we will see what Burns and what remains.

C. MATERIALS--Wood, hay, stubble is those things that are large and bulky and cheap…Gold, Silver and precious stones (Sorts of work), these are small but very valuable. We are to work for QUALITY not QUANTITY.

THE FAILURE

Many will be empty-handed on this day. What have you done since your Salvation. We need to under- stand. In the past we were a Sinner that become a Saint…now we are SONS…Then we will be SERVANTS.
