“THE SEVEN JUDGMENTS IN
THE BIBLE”“THE SEVEN JUDGMENTS IN
THE BIBLE”
There are seven
judgments in
the Bible. The four main ones are as follows:
1. The judgment
of sin at Calvary
where man’s sins were put on Christ, and he was judged as a sinner
by God
the Father and punished in our place.
2. The daily
self-judgment and
confession of sins for the believer after he gets saved
3. The Judgment
Seat of Christ where
the Christian will be judged for rewards after he dies and goes to be
with the
Lord
4. The Great
White Throne
judgment of the dead. These died unsaved and went to hell. They
will then
be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire
There are another
three:
5. God will judge
the Jews during
the seven years of Tribulation seven year of Daniel’s 70th
week (Daniel
9:27)
6. When Christ comes
back in
Matthew 25 and judges the nations (Matthew 25:31-34)
7. Christians
shall judge angels
“Know ye not that we shall judge angels?” (1 Corinthians 6:3)
1. CALVARY
When Jesus died on
the cross for
us, God put our sins on him. Jesus became sin for us and God punished
Jesus for
being the sinner instead of me.
“For he (God the Father)
hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
When people complain “What’s God ever done
for
me?” … you can answer them with “For God so loved the world,
that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish,
but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
If people will not believe on the
Lord
Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and get saved, they will be cast into the
flames of
hell to burn and be tormented. This is called the first death.
The second
death is to be cast into the Lake of Fire at the Great White
Throne
Judgment.
Two thousand years ago, Christ paid for all
sins
for all time. Their ticket to heaven has been ‘Paid In Full’. How can
people
get saved?
“Dear God, I’m a sinner and I believe that
Christ’s blood paid the penalty for all my sins … past, present and
future.
Thank you Lord. Please save me. Amen”
2. CONFESSION
After you get saved,
there will be
a sin or sins that keep coming back again and again.
At those moments you
might say to
yourself “I keep sinning … am I really saved?”
If you are saved,
this is just your
flesh acting up.
Now the blood of Christ has given us
redemption
from sins (Colossian 1:14) and we have eternal security and can never
to be
lost.
When you get saved,
you feel like
there are two people inside of you. There’s the one that loves the Lord
and the
one that wants to sin. It’s like being a schizophrenic.
Your soul has been
spiritually cut
away (circumcised) from your flesh. Your soul has been saved but it
still lives
in a flesh body. The Bible says …
“In whom also ye are circumcised with the
circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of
the
flesh by the circumcision of Christ:” (Colossians 2:11)
God has taken his spiritual knife and cut
away
your flesh body of sins from your soul.
Now when we sin after we have been saved, God
will continue to wipe away our sins as we confess them … and even those
we are
not aware of. 2
“If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9).
It’s
called keeping short accounts with God.
On the other hand, if we
will
not judge ourselves, we can get weak and sickly and die as the
scripture says “For
this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).
For
if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” (1 Corinthians
11:30-31).
In plain language, you
just
can’t keep sinning and get away with it.
3. JUDGMENT SEAT OF
CHRIST
At the Judgment Seat
of Christ you
will be judged as a servant for rewards … for what you did for Jesus after
you
were saved … for things like witnessing, praying, reading your Bible,
handing
out tracts, preaching the gospel in prisons and such like.
“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.” (2
Corinthians
5:10)
This has nothing whatsoever
to do with the Great White Throne Judgment where unsaved people in hell
will be
judged to be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 19:20). No-one in
hell will
escape.
4. GREAT WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT
This is called the second
death (Revelation
20:14) where death, and all those in hell are cast into the Lake of
Fire, to
burn in brimstone forever and ever.
“And death and hell were cast into the lake
of
fire. This is the second death.” (Revelation 20:14)
“And the beast (the
antichrist) was taken, and with him the false prophet (the
Roman
Catholic Pope in Rome) that wrought miracles before him, with which
he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with
brimstone.” (Revelation 19:20)
People can not repent here and get
saved.
There are no second opportunities.
