Doctrine of the Mysteries #26
The results and reward of the Judgement Seat of Christ
In the previous article we learned about the Judgement Seat
of Christ and what we will be judged for. In this article, I’d like to draw
attention to what the results of this judgement is and its subsequent reward.
Let us understand again that this judgement, for members of
the Body of Christ, is not for sins or damnation, since our sins have already been
judged at the cross of Christ, and through imputation of Christ’s righteousness,
we stand justified and completely atoned before God, Rom 5.
Thus, the judgement we will face is to determine the degree of
responsibility and commission we will be given, based on our knowledge and
understanding of our Father’s will and purpose in the ages to come. The
accompanying reward is a measure of the glory and authority of Christ that one
will hold in the ranks and positions of the hierarchy of heaven.
To relate to this more easily, let’s apply an analogy concerning
a father [re: God], who is a carpenter, and his son [re: you], who is being
groomed to inherit the father’s carpentry business [re: heavenly reward].
