Rom. Though we will not be judged in the sense of punished for sin at the Bema since the Lord has born that for us, we must never take sin lightly because there are many consequences. A common misconception which arises from this English translation is that God will mete out a just retribution for sins in the believers life, and some measure of retributive punishment for sins will result.7. Some of the Christians at Corinth were being externally religious. Ezek. But man is separated from God by the problem of Sin. 32:3-5). 2:5). In other words, when we fail to honestly judge sin in our lives it spills over in one area after another. So the order of events will be (a) the rapture which includes our glorification or resurrection bodies, (b) exaltation into the heavens with the Lord, (c) examination before the Bema, and (d) compensation or rewards. This is clear from both the context of 5:4-8 and by the fact he changed the words he used for sleep. 5:11), and of works of the Law (Rom. (14) It is a time of unprecedented evangelism (Rev.

The judge is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:22-23, 27). Do you not know that we will judge angels? Specifically, this is the dead of the second resurrection, the resurrection of the unjust, the resurrection unto the second death mentioned in Revelation 20:5-6, 12-14, and John 5:29b. It is great because all the unbelievers of all time, from Cain to the final revolt at the end of the Millennium, will be here assembled to face the bar of Gods holy justice. It is from Goda time of divine wrath. The only exception is the person of Jesus Christ who, through the virgin birth, escaped the sin problem that is normally passed down from generation to generation. 2:12). 14:10-12; 1 Cor.

This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. But when men reject the knowledge of God and His plan of salvation, they in essence determine to stand on their own merit, or in their own righteousness. The Books: The identity of the books is not specifically revealed and we can only speculate from a comparison of other passages of Scripture and from the nature of these verses.
