_*Understanding the Judgement Seat of Christ and the White Throne Judgement*_


As Christians, it is important to understand the difference between the Judgment Seat of Christ and the White Throne Judgment. The Judgment Seat of Christ is a judgment that Christians will face after death, where our works will be tested to see if they were done with sincerity and in accordance with the will of God.


The White Throne Judgment, on the other hand, is a judgment that none believers will face, where they will be judged based on whether or not their name is written in the book of life.


In 1 Corinthians 3:11-15, Paul explains that our works for the Lord will be tested by fire. If our works were done with good intentions and were in accordance with God's will, then we will receive a reward. However, if our works were done with selfish motives, such as wanting to be recognized by others, then those works will not be rewarded. We must examine our motives when we serve the Lord, to ensure that we are doing it for His glory, not for our own.


For example, some people may want to lead worship not because they truly love the Lord, but because they want to be seen on stage and be popular. Such works will not be rewarded at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Similarly, other things people do for the Lord with the wrong motives, such as giving to the poor to be seen by others or serving in church to gain power or status, will not be rewarded.


As for the White Throne Judgment, Revelation 20:11-15 describes that none believers will be judged based on their deeds, and if their names are not written in the book of life, they will be cast into the lake of fire. This judgment is not for Christians, but for those who have rejected God's offer of salvation.


To prevent being judged at the White Throne, we must believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. As John 3:16 says, *"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."* Let us turn away from sin and turn to Jesus, who offers us salvation and eternal life.


In conclusion, as Christians, let us strive to do everything with sincere and pure motives, to bring glory to God. And let us remember that our ultimate hope is in Christ, who offers us forgiveness, salvation, and the promise of eternal life.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
