The Judgment Seat of Christ
2 Corinthians 5:10
1. An inevitable judgment
Hebrews 4:13-“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
2. An individual judgment
2 Timothy 4:8-“the righteous Judge.”
Acts 10:42-“was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.”
John 5:22-“For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son.”
3. An all-inclusive judgment
Matthew 12:36-“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.”
James 3:2-5-“For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.”
Psalm 141:3-“Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.”
1 Corinthians 3:13-“Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.”
