There are only 3 references to the Judgment Seat of Christ, and they are all in Paul’s epistles. Only 3 references to Judgment Seat of Christ. I suspect Paul is talking about good service and bad service for the Lord, which we’ll get into.įascinating to me that in all the references to reward in Paul’s epistles, he speaks the most about rewards with the Corinthians, the most carnal bunch, and he uses rewards to motivate them to good service for Christ, which reinforces what Fred always says, that we’re not in a works-based acceptance system but a rewards-based total victory program by His grace. 5:10, “ 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.” So what are the bad things done in our bodies that’ll be judged? It’s not sin because sin was already dealt with at the cross. 3:8, “ Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.”Īnd, of course, Paul tells us in 2 Cor. 5:18), which is why “ your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. Paul also spoke of a reward we’ll be receiving at the Judgment Seat of Christ, because “ The labourer is worthy of his reward” (1 Tim. 3:24, “ Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance.” The inheritance we receive at the Rapture is also called a reward. 9:17, “ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward.” Paul had a reward waiting for him if he fulfilled his calling to be God’s apostle to the Gentiles. 2:18, “ Let no man beguile you of your reward.” Everything we’ve already received by His grace is His reward for our faith. Have you ever studied the word reward in Paul’s epistles?įirst, all the blessings of grace that were showered on us when we got saved is one great big reward.
