"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened."

(Revelation 21:11-12)

When the lost stand before God on Judgment Day, their earthly pride and arrogance will melt away!

When they see that they loved evil and hated good, they will clasp their heads in their hands and cry,

"MY GOD!!!...

What was I thinking?"

But it will be TOO LATE!

When the believer stands before Jesus on the Bema Seat, we read:

Romans 14:10-12 says,

“For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God . . . Then each of us will give an account of himself to God” (ESV).

2 Corinthians 5:10 tells us, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

The judgment seat of Christ, therefore, involves believers giving an account of their lives to Christ.

The judgment seat of Christ does not determine salvation; that was determined by Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf (1 John 2:2) and our faith in Him (John 3:16).

All of our sins are forgiven, and we will never be condemned for them (Romans 8:1).

The believer on that day will lift up holy hands in praise and worship to Jesus, and shout DE JOY!

Finally realizing that it was indeed...

EVERYTHING IS WORTH IT!!!
