12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 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. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. Paul is using the analogy of creating a building.ĩ For we are God’s fellow workers you are God’s field, you are God’s building. If I can just get my foot over the threshold of Heaven, I’ll be happy….” Don’t think the way you have served won’t make any difference. Many Christians think, “ Well, I’m saved. One day, the way we have served the Lord during our life on earth will be brought into review. The judgment as servants is called “The Judgment Seat of Christ.” This is the judgment received by a son or daughter. If you openly, willingly, deliberately disobey Him, if you choose to live in sin, God will “carry you to the woodshed,” not because He doesn’t love you, but because He does love you. “ The Lord corrects the people He loves and disciplines those He calls His own.” The Contemporary English Version translates it:
“ For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes.” “Whom the Lord loves, He _ and scourges every _ whom He receives.” You can never, ever, again be a lost soul. This is not judgment to see whether you’re saved or lost. Every good parent must discipline a child who disobeys. He must discipline you, if you are His child. But let’s say you choose willfully, deliberately, to sin.

If you have accepted what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross (paying in full for your sins), you are a son/daughter of God. If you’re saved, that judgment is behind you. “There is therefore now _ _ to _who are in _ _.”Īre you one of “those”? No judgment for you. The “Great Exchange” is one of the most important truths about our salvation for believers to grasp. As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus surrendered His robe of sinlessness and became sin on our behalf, so that now we can be clothed not in our own righteousness, but we take on His righteousness. He swapped out His righteousness for our sin. įor centuries theologians have dubbed this “The Great Exchange.” Jesus provided a way out for you and me. It requires the ultimate cleanser, the ultimate gift-eternal life through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ.Ģ1 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin that we might be made the _ of God in Him. Afterward, death “ passed upon all men.” This consequence is beyond our comprehension in its results and the weight of it effects.įor a result so deadly, so earth-altering, sprinkling a little pixie dust over man’s condition or saying a few “I’m sorry’s would not satisfy this grievous breach of God’s holiness and character.įor the wages of _ is _ but the _ of God is eternal life through _ _ our _. Before that moment, there was no death on planet Earth.
“ Sin entered”-two words that indicate a moment in time when something happened. As a result of “ sin entering into the world,” what entered with it? According to the above two verses, throughout the human race, over thousands of years, a select, saintly few have been able to escape without sinning, correct?ī. Wherefore, as by _ _ sin entered into the world, and _ by sin and so death passed upon _ men, for that _ have sinned:Ī. Some have even called Romans “The Constitution of the Christian Faith.” While every word God has spoken is important, among the sixty-six books in His Word, Romans is without question one of the most important.įor _ have _ and come short of the glory of God. Side note: Paul’s letter to the believers in Rome is considered to be as important to the Christian faith as the Constitution is to American government. When Jesus suffered, bled, and died on the cross, He took your judgment for you.Īs we study what the Bible has to say about this, fill in some key words. When did that judgment happen? When Christ died in your place. But if you’re saved, for you that judgment is already passed. Those who stand before the Great White Throne (Revelation 20) at the end are judged and cast into the lake of fire. No sin and no person who sins will slip by, unjudged. Next, God judges the saved as sons and daughters.Īll sin will either be pardoned in Christ or punished in hell. In this study we want to examine the three judgments all of us must face.įirst, God will be judging both the saved and the sinners.
Every person, saved or unsaved, is going to face judgment by God one day.
