More Description

Every believer in Jesus Christ will one day stand before Him to have their life and works evaluated at the judgment seat of Christ. This unique moment will not determine our eternal destiny, as that is already secure through faith in Christ, but it will determine our status, responsibilities and rewards in the future Kingdom of God.In this insightful book, author Paul Benware examines the biblical teaching about the judgment seat of Christ, addressing questions such as: Who will appear before Jesus? What are the criteria He will use to evaluate believers? How should we prepare now for our future appearance before Christ?Benware explains that all church age believers will appear individually before Jesus to give an account and be recompensed according to their faithfulness and service. Jesus will evaluate our lives based on how closely we lived according to God's Word, our motives, and how productively we used our God-given gifts and opportunities. Our sins are not the focus, as they have already been forgiven in Christ.The judgment seat should motivate us to build our lives with eternal materials of gold, silver and precious stones, as opposed to the temporary, destructible materials valued by the world. With great clarity and biblical insight, this book will inform and inspire you to live today in light of your future appointment before the judgment seat of Christ. Now is the time to prepare for that momentous event which will determine your experience in the coming Kingdom.
