At the judgment seat of Christ we see the very essence of grace. The judgment of sin was borne by this blessed One on the cross. He has given us to trust in Himself. He has made us His, and now He has set us in this world for Himself. When this scene is over, He brings us before His judgment seat, and He goes over what we have done in this world; He goes over what His own Holy Spirit has done through us in this world. Then He counts it to us, and in the greatness of His grace, He says, “I will reward you for it’” — for what His own Spirit has done through us. Was there ever grace like that?
