In the Roman world, the bēma referred to an official seat of a judge. The word means a raised place that you mount by steps. But this is unfortunate, for the Bible clearly teaches that believers can receive rewards when they appear before Christ. While more reasons can be added (see Hixson & Fontecchio 2013:223-224), the point is clear: this Biblical doctrine is frequently neglected and sometimes even shunned. Or it is sometimes thought that this doctrine of rewards leads to selfish motivations. Others mistakenly believe that the doctrine of eternal rewards contradicts salvation by grace alone. Despite this, why is there so little teaching about this important doctrine? Amillennial and postmillennial churches neglect this doctrine, because they see only one general judgement at the end. We do not want to be ashamed before Him when He comes.The doctrine of the judgement seat (in Greek: the bēma-seat) of Christ straddles not only soteriology (the teaching about salvation), but also ecclesiology (the doctrine of the Church) and eschatology (end times teaching). And we must witness to the unbelievers, so that they might receive (take) the Saviour, and have eternal life, before Jesus comes back again.

Jesus's love should stir (warm) our hearts to full and faithful service. Should also awaken the unbelievers to flee the judgements of God.Ģ. These words should make Christians fear to displease their Lord, and walk righteously before God and man. Then they will be cast into the lake of fire. Yes, after Jesus rules for 1,000 years on the earth, the wicked will be raised and judged at the Great White Throne (platform) for their sins. Is the judgement seat of Christ different from the judgement of the Great White Throne (or the Great White Platform Judgement)?Ģ. Time Jesus will be King on the earth for 1,000 years. Yes, the judgement of nations will be when Christ comes back to the earth with His people from heaven. Will the judgement seat (platform) of Christ be at a different time than the judgement of nations?Ģ. Ephesians 5:27 Revelation 19:7 I Corinthians 13:12 I Thessalonians 4:17.ġ.
And we shall live forever with our Master (Lord). After this, we who belong to Jesus shall be present at the marriage of the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus. Then we shall see (understand) ourselves as the Lord Jesus has seen (understood) us. We, one by one, must answer the Lord Jesus for the works we have done in our bodies, whether they were good or bad. Yes, every Christian must stand before Jesus at the place where He sits down as Judge. Will every believer stand before the judgement seat (platform) of Christ?Ģ.
But works like (resembling) wood, hay and stubble (timber, grass and rubbish) will be burnt up with no reward. They will be like gold, silver and precious The works we have done for Him because we love Him will receive eternal reward. He will judge us according to the way we have lived for Him, and the way we have served Him. Why will Jesus have this judgement for His people?Ģ. They will have changed bodies like Jesus Christ had after He arose from the dead. How will believers appear (stand) before Christ?Ģ. God's Book says, "Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Hebrews 10:14,17.ġ. Will Jesus judge His people for their sins?Ģ. After the Lord Jesus comes again to take His people above to be with Himself. God's word says only those who belong to Jesus Christ will be there. Who will appear before the judgement seat (platform) of Christ?Ģ.
Tell me, I want to understand more about the Bible.
