JUDGMENT OF THE CHURCH.

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.."  2 Corinthians 5:10

THE DAIS (The Judgment Seat of Christ)

The dais or raised platform from which games were 'judged' and awards given, must not be confused with a judicial bench. The quality of our acts may determine the award which we are entitled, but the question of condemnation is entirely foreign to such a tribunal.

For "there is therefore, now, no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1

We believers will not be judged as sinner will be judged for we are already declared innocent since we are in Messiah, or the Christ, God's chosen vessel.  This judgment concerns reward, rank, and position in Eternity according to our behavior once saved.

"Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? (Even the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.") No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:33-39.

Behold the quality of love the Father bestows on us, in His glorious salvation, the spiritual gifts we can receive, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, who helps and teaches us God's will, guiding us naturally and spiritually, then, because we obey His will and wishes, He bestows extra awards over and above all He has done for us.
