The Judgment of Believers

Knowing that we’ll be rewarded in eternity, we have great motivation to live for Christ today.

2 Corinthians 5:1-10

The judgment seat of Christ probably isn’t our primary consideration as we go about the business of living week after week. However, we ought to give it some serious thought, because what Scripture reveals about this event should motivate us to lead a life that pleases God.

All of us who have placed trust in Jesus will one day stand before Him to be evaluated for who we are and what we have done. The Lord will reveal the heart’s hidden attitudes, disclose every motive, and assess all our works for their eternal value (1 Corinthians 4:5). 

God’s purpose in this judgment is to recompense us for what we have done, whether good or bad (bad, in this case, meaning “worthless”). The deeds that are good will receive a reward, but those that are worthless will not. Undoubtedly, we’ll regret lost opportunities to serve the Lord, but He will wipe our tears away with His great love and forgiveness. 

If we’re not careful, the busyness of our culture could steal our motivation to live for that which is of eternal importance.  But the certainty of our future judgment should affect the way we live now. So let’s adopt one overarching ambition in life: to be pleasing to the Lord.
