  4. Examples of God’s JudgmentIsrael (2 Kings 17; 22:15-17; 23:26-27)Babylon (Daniel 4-5)Jews who rejected Christ (Matthew 21:43-44) Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-10)Herod (Acts 12:21-23)Elymas (Acts 13:8-11)Corinthian Christians (1 Corinthians 11:29-32)

  5. Fear God Because He Is (not only your Heavenly Father but) Your Impartial Judge

  6. Judgment for Christians(2 Corinthians 5:10) Six Features of the Judgment of Christians Before Christ

  7. Certain and Comprehensive “A Christian may serve, but he must be judged. It is not optional, but obligatory…Both the spiritual and the carnal, both the mature and immature, and both the clergy and the laity will be there. It is a judgment of the entire body of Christ.” - Robert Gromacki

  8. Exposing and Examining phanerothanai = to be made manifestto be made clear / to be revealed • “To be made manifest means not just to appear, but to be laid bare, stripped of every outward façade of respectability, and openly revealed in the full and true reality of one’s character” – Philip Hughes

  9. Bema = raised seat / platformoration / legal judgmentPilate – Matt. 27:19Herod – Acts 12:21Gallio – Acts 18:16Festus – Acts 25:6Caesar – Acts 25:10

  10. “These verses contain an implicit forewarning: we must all appear before the judgment seat of God. It is this divine judgment seat, not Pilate’s, not Gallio’s, not the court of public opinion, that ultimately counts…We will be held accountable for our individual actions and commitments. The chances that anyone might fool the God who knows even our subconscious thoughts are nil.” David Garland

  11. 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

  12. Individual and Recompensive Komizo = “to receive back”

  13. ConclusionFear God, live a reverent lifeBecause He is our heavenly FatherBecause He is our impartial judge1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
