Judgment of Believers
Acts 10:42, 43; Heb. 9:27
I. Past - as a sinner - at the cross
God judged all sins
Christ paid for all sins
Once sin was paid for in full, judgment concluded
No more judgment for sin
The cross was a finished word
John 5:24; Heb. 9:26; 10:12, 17; 1 John 1:9
No more judgment for sins
II. Present - as a son - in this life
God examines the life, lifestyle
Chastisement
Father punishes children for misbehaving
1 Cor. 6:19, 20; 9:27; Heb. 12:5-11
No more chastisement after this life
III. Future - as a servant - at the Judgment Seat of Christ
Not innocent or guilty
Not saved or lost
Acceptable or unacceptable works
All commissioned servants are in NT churches
Some servants will have works burned up
Some servants will hear "Well done"
1 Cor 3:11-15; 2 Cor 5:10

AMEN. All sins were paid for at the cross, and the only sin which could not be forgiven there is the sin of rejecting Christ (blaspheming the Holy Spirit and his conviction via the gospel to be saved.)
