THE COMING JUDGMENT

The fact that Jesus is our Savior is a wonderful, comforting truth that we, as believers in Him, are thankful to experience! Sometimes we tend to forget, however, that the same wonderful Person that is our Savior will also be our Judge as we must all give Him an accounting for how we have lived our Christian lives. This of course is very different from the Great White Throne Judgment of all unsaved people that the apostle John teaches about in the Book of the Revelation. So, this time of accounting has nothing to do with where we will spend eternity, but it has much to do with how we will spend it!

Only saved people and all saved people will appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ to see what rewards that we will receive. Paul gives rather extended teaching regarding this sobering future time for us in certain of his Epistles in the New Testament. Since this is true and all believers will face this coming judgment and the Bible has extensive teaching about this judgment, shouldn’t we as believers take every opportunity to learn about it?

The BBN Bible Institute offers Course number 52300, The Bema Seat (Judgment Seat of Christ) taught by Dr. Charles Wagner. Those of you who have taken any of Dr. Wagner’s courses offered through BBN’s Bible Institute know the thoroughness of his teaching as well as the warmth of his delivery. There could hardly be a more pressing need now than to prepare ourselves to face our Lord at His Judgment Seat  while there is still time to do so. To know about this awesome time awaiting every believer without doing anything about it only increases our responsibility toward our Lord.
