This paper discusses judgments for both the believer and un-believer. There are five separate judgments shown in scriptures. They are at different times, places and purposes. In each case Jesus is the judge. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: A great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, kindred, people, and tongues, stood before the throne of God.

Revelation 7:9 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"

PURPOSE: Jesus will judge each person on their use of their life, time, and gifts.

Galatians 6:8 "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

KEY VERSE: This scripture is one of the several judgments.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. {12} Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; {13} Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. {14} If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. {15} If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." Lose reward

WHY: Jesus will judge everything each person has done with their life.

Colossians 3:24 "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."

WAY: Jesus will be the judge, and He knows everything each person has done with their life.

Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is <the book> of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

I) EVERYONE GETS IMMEDIATE JUDGMENT UPON DEATH: Depends on if your name is in the book of life.

Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

Revelation 17:8 "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." Condemnation = judgment (same word as in Matt 10:15).

IV) JUDGMENT OF ALL WHO NEVER HEARD GOSPEL OR REJECTED JESUS WORK:

See my paper: "Is Free Will Biblical?" MANY SCRIPTURES ARE SHOWN FOR PREDESTINATED. OPPOSING FREEWILL VIEWS ARE DISCUSSED for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Some Saved and Some Lost - God's Sovereignty" GOD'S PLAN FOR BOTH PEOPLE THAT ARE LOST & SAVE IS SHOWN for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "God Plans for His Purpose. Who Harden Pharaoh's Heart?" GOD'S USE OF SINNERS TO ACHIEVE HIS PURPOSE IS SHOWN for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "God Will Receive All the Glory" DISCUSSED IS PREDESTINATION PLAN OF GOD FOR SALVATION, SANCTIFICATION, PERFECTION, AND GLORIFICATION. for more information on this subject.

John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. {19} And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."

John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Romans 2:5 "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"

Romans 2:14-16 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: {15} Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and <their> thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) {16} In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

V) JUDGMENT OF THE BELIEVER BY HIMSELF: To judge oneself is to deny the self life and to take up his cross and follow Jesus. This is from Jesus faith given to those who will follow Jesus to the end of their life.

Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." He then repents (change of direction) on sin.

Mark 8:34 "And when he had called the people <unto him> with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Acts 9:6 "And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord <said> unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."

1 Corinthians 11:31-32 "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. {32} But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." He then uses 1 John 1:9 to get forgiveness of his sin. If he does not correct himself, then God will by chasten him (Hebrews 12:5-13).

Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." The final result a life changed.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us <our> sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Forgiving and forgotten by God (Psalm 103:12, Isaiah 43:25, ).

VI) JUDGMENT OF BELIEVER'S WORKS: At the Judgment seat of Christ.

Their works are judged not their sins. Christ paid for the believer's sins on the cross. His name is in the book of life.

Romans 14:10-13 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. {11} For it is written, <As> I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. {12} So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. {13} Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in <his> brother's way."

2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things <done> in <his> body, according to that he hath done, whether <it be> good or bad." Reading the context shows this is for the believer only.

WHEN: At the rapture.

See my paper: "Multiple Raptures" THE BIBLE SHOWS HOW GOD HAS RAPTURE MANY PEOPLE FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END TIMES for more information on this subject.

Luke 14:14 "And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just"

WHERE: On the way up at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:50-53 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. {51} Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. {53} For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal <must> put on immortality." Judged then changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. {15} For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive <and> remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. {16} For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: {17} Then we which are alive <and> remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. {18} Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1000 years later is resurrection of un-believer who is dead (Revelation 20:4-5).

WHAT: How believers use their efforts, gifts, & time for Christ while alive.

See my paper: "Questions & Answers on Law, Faith & Liberty" THE PURPOSE OF LAW, FAITH BEFORE THE LAW, FAITH IS GOD'S PLAN & LIBERTY FROM THE LAW. for more information on this subject.

Romans 2:6 "Who will render to every man according to his deeds:"

Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go <and> sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come <and> follow me."

Galatians 6:8 "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

Colossians 3:24 "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."

A) GOOD WORKS: Those works God want us to do. His will for our life.

See my paper: "What Does God Really Want?" WHAT LAWS OF GOD ARE CHRISTIANS TO FOLLOW. SHOWN ARE STEPS TO RECEIVE GOD FORGIVENESS for more information on this subject.

Romans 13:10 "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love <is> the fulfilling of the law."

Romans 14:23 "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because <he eateth> not of faith: for whatsoever <is> not of faith is sin."

Galatians 5:22-25 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. {24} And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. {25} If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

B) OUR CROWNS AND REWARDS ARE TO GLORIFY JESUS:

Other crowns: 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 2 Timothy 4:8, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:4 and Revelation 2:10.

Revelation 3:11 "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."

Revelation 4:10 "The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,"

VII) JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS:

When Jesus returns with saints three groups of people will be judged. Some of these people will go into His millennium kingdom. Others will be judged to hell. Nations of people will be judged.

A) SORTING:

Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame <and> everlasting contempt." Everlasting: life = heaven & contempt = hell

B) SHEEP = SAVED:

C) GOATS = UN-SAVED:

See my paper: "Original Sin & Its Results" REPRESENTED IS MAN'S PASSING SIN FROM PARENT TO CHILD & GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION for more information on this subject.

Psalms 73:3, 17-18 "For I was envious at the foolish, <when> I saw the prosperity of the wicked. {17} Until I went into the sanctuary of God; <then> understood I their end. {18} Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction."

D) JEWS = BRETHREN:

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" JESUS JEWISHNESS, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, & JEWS IN GOD'S PLAN; JEWS & GENTILE SALVATION for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Christians Are Not Under Law, But Jews Can Culturally Keep God's Commandments" COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO JEWS NOT GENTILES; CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAW; BUT JEWISH BELIEVERS MAY CONTINUE KEEPING LAW NOT FOR SALVATION for more information on this subject.

Romans 11:25-28 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. {26} And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: {27} For this <is> my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. {28} As concerning the gospel, <they are> enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, <they are> beloved for the fathers' sakes."

WHEN:

Matthew 16:27 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."

2 Timothy 4:14 "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:"

VIII) JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED: Final judgment for un-believer only.

Their judgment was first not being in the book of life. Then they were judged from their works (Isaiah 64:6 filthy rags/useless).

IX) DEGREES OR LEVELS IN HEAVENS:

Mark 10:38-40 "But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? {39} And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: {40} But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared."

2 Corinthians 12:2-4 "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. {3} And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) {4} How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." Third heaven is paradise.
