The Daily Word of Righteousness
Revealed at the Judgment Seat, #3
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. (Revelation 2:26,27)
Is it your understanding that Christ will clothe an immature, halfhearted "believer" with an all-powerful body, assigning him to a post of rulership over the nations of the earth, on the basis of his statement of faith in the Person of Christ?
If he is halfhearted, not seeking the Lord with all his might, does he really believe?
Will the careless Christian be saved at all?
Only God knows the outcome of each individual.
The teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ are stern, and we must take heed to them because they do apply to us.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 25:28-30).
Notice that in the Day of the Lord, Christ does not raise the question of one's belief. The issue is, rather, what the believer has done with the things of the Kingdom of God that have been given to him.
Those who believe and teach that our inheritance in the Kingdom of God depends on our profession of belief rather than on our behavior will stand one day before the Lord with their followers. They then will give an accounting of their manner of life in the world, before the eyes of the Judge of all the earth.
Having read in the Gospel accounts the teachings of Christ, how will they answer?
What will each saint receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ?
He will receive the things done in his body, whether good or bad.
This is a remarkable passage—remarkable in its clarity and its meaning.
Here is the righteousness and justice of almighty God.
Every individual shall reap what he has sown.
Is God not merciful?
Yes, He is indeed. His mercy is shown to us in the world by calling us to His Son, washing away our sins, and filling us with His Holy Spirit. God shows unbounded mercy to every person on the earth. Christ on Calvary is God's mercy for all to behold.
The Judgment Seat of Christ is a demonstration of spiritual laws of cause and effect, of reaping and sowing. We shall reap what we have sown. Spiritual laws are as powerful as the laws that govern the physical universe.
It would not be the mercy of God for a careless, double-minded "believer" to be showered with spiritual blessing in the Day of Christ. It would be a transgression of fundamental spiritual law, a setting aside of the Word of God.
To be continued.
