What is the effect upon Paul of the thought of the judgment seat? He says, "We persuade men." He does not think of himself at all. He is full of confidence, and pleased to think of being present with the Lord (v. 8). He has no time to think of self, but he persuades others.
How shall we appear at the judgment seat of Christ? Why, we shall be there in bodies of glory, like the Judge Himself.
The One before whom we are manifested is the One who has put away all our sin. He is our righteousness. How can we be afraid to come before Him?
He will show us how we have performed our duties. Duties flow from the place He gave us. Being a child of God, I must behave like a child of God. What did God do to me when I was an enemy? Did He not forgive me? Then, I ought to go and forgive my enemies. At the judgment seat I shall see just what I did and why I did it.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2 Cor. 5:1010For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
