There are four major successive scenes of judgment to play out!
The Word of GOD describes judgment to come forth in four distinct events.
The first will be before the judgment seat of Christ. We are not to judge each other’s actions or mindsets for we cannot judge the hearts of men. We are to seek unity where possible.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:
1 Offer an open hand of fellowship to welcome every true believer, even though their faith may be weak and immature. And refuse to engage in debates with them concerning nothing more than opinions.
Everyone has an opinion but there is only one standard of Truth and that comes by way of The Holy Spirit.
2 For example, one believer has no problem with eating all kinds of food, but another with weaker faith will eat only vegetables.
3 The one who eats freely shouldn’t judge and look down on the one who eats only vegetables. And the vegetarian must not judge and look down on the one who eats everything. Remember, God has welcomed him and taken him as His partner.
4 Who do you think you are to sit in judgment of someone else’s household servant? His own master is the one to evaluate whether he succeeds or fails. And God’s servants will succeed, for God’s power supports them and enables them to stand.
5 In the same way, one person regards a certain day as more Sacred than another, and another person regards them all alike. There is nothing wrong with having different personal convictions about such matters.
6 For the person who observes one day as especially Sacred does it to honor the Lord. And the same is true regarding what a person eats. The one who eats everything eats to honor the Lord, because he gives thanks to God, and the one who has a special diet does it to honor the Lord, and he also gives thanks to God.
7 No one lives to himself and no one dies to himself.
8 While we live, we must live for our Master, and in death we must bring honor to him. So dead or alive we belong to our Master.
As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we will not seek to judge others who are at varying degrees of Holiness and revelation in their walks.
9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment Seat (bēma) of Christ.
There will be no exceptions, all means all.
11 For it is written: “As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.”
All believers will come before the judgment Seat (bēma) of Christ and give account of their fruitfulness. They will be rewarded based on their resulting fruit.
The more mature we become in being led by The Holy Spirit, the less interested in accumulating possessions that will decay over time. Instead, we will seek to find ways to serve THE LORD with what we have been given according to our individual talents. We will be judged based only on our ability to server and not be compared to those who have greater talents or capabilities to serve. Don’t compare yourself to others.
