Summary

The Bible tells us that there are three occasions of judgment from God. Which one you will face depends on who you are and what you have done (or not done), but the Bible says “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The three Judgments to come are (1) The Judgment of the Sheep and Goats (also called The Judgment of the Nations), (2) The Great White Throne Judgment, and (3) The Judgment Seat of Christ. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary breaks down the differences between these three judgments and helps us to be prepared for the one we will each have to face.

0:00.0	For this morning, we're going to be reading out of 2nd Corinthians chapter 5. I'm going to read verses 9, 10, and 11.
0:06.4	And if you have a paper Bible, circle the first word. If you have an electronic Bible, highlight it, because it's an important word.
0:12.8	Here in 2 Corinthians 5, verse 9, therefore, therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well-pleasing to him, to the Lord.
0:25.5	For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
0:31.8	done in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
0:37.0	Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are well known to God,
0:42.8	and I also trust, are well known in your consciences.
0:47.0	Well, one of the things that they teach in Bible school that's important when you're reading through a text
0:53.0	is whenever you see the word
0:54.4	therefore, that's why I asked you to circle it in verse 9, you have to always ask, what is it
1:00.1	therefore? Because it connects two related thoughts. So when we start here in verse 9, we have to
1:08.1	understand what is it connecting with the previous verses. And in verses
1:12.3	1 through 8 of chapter 5, Paul was writing about what happens when the Christian dies and goes
1:19.4	to be with the Lord. And we talked about this last time because this is a very comforting verse in
1:24.7	verse 8, if you just glance back up to verse 8, where he kind of summarizes, when a believer in Jesus dies, verse 8, we are confident, yes,
1:33.5	well pleased rather, to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
1:38.9	And so he says that when a believer dies, he or she will vacate the body and the spirit goes to be immediately with the
1:47.7	Lord. So to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Therefore, verse nine, therefore,
1:56.0	we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to him, to the Lord. In other words,
2:03.1	we make it our goal to please the Lord, whether we are present with him, or whether we are
2:09.1	absent from him still living on earth in this body, whether with the Lord in the heaven
2:14.6	or absent from him still living out our lives on earth, our goal is
