(01/10/2020) The Judgment For Rewards




Today, reply is on what may be called the “third judgment” where ones works are examined and assigned divine rewards. Christian believers are to understand that the final judgment to determine the sacred content that has appeared within each person who has lived on the earth has already begun; yet, the judgment to determine the rewards each person has earned by their own works (e.g., forgiveness, intercession, praise, sacrifice, teaching, thanksgiving) is yet to come. Sinners neither have to face Satan as their accuser nor Jesus Christ, for each person must answer the record of their own deeds that have been recorded in the books of life. It is written: Revelation 20: 12-14, King James Version (KJV): 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion & Spirituality who uses the ID “π•΅π–”π–˜π– π•¬π–‘π–‹π–—π–Šπ–‰” (Level 4 with 4,069 points) posted the following:



Salvation: "Not by works," yet, "all will be judged". Can you reconcile this contradiction, Christians?



THE GOLDEN ARROW: Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3: 1-7, KJV)



THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Only Divine Resurrection Saves (12/24/2019); The Purpose Of Worship (10//10/2019); That Not Of Yourselves (08/13/2019); To Be Jesus Sheep (06/10/2019); Salvation Through Jesus Christ (03/25/2019); Divine Preparations for Advent (03/17/2019); Forgiveness, Grace and Merit (06/22/2017)



π•΅π–”π–˜π– π•¬π–‘π–‹π–—π–Šπ–‰, mature Christian believers will acknowledge salvation as an operation or work of divinity only; a first and second death; a first and second resurrection; and three judgments. The judgment by divinity where the just are examined for salvation is separate from the judgment of the wicked (the White throne judgment); and there will be a separate judgment wherein the rewards for service and good works are distributed. The judgment by divine fullness (we also say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit) to identify the just and the righteous is a present and ongoing sacred work that will be completed when the Lord appears and as the first resurrection occurs. As vessels containing fresh endowments of spirit substance imparted from divinity, Christian believers are to exist on the earth as sons and daughters of GOD, joint-heirs with Jesus, and the new creation. Believers are to display the image of GOD, and are to resemble, reflect, and reveal the character and likeness of Jesus Christ. Those on the earth who become “born again” also must “grow-up again” and become mature/ripe for harvest at the appearing of the Savior (the Advent; the Rapture; the Second Coming). The righteous are to meet the Lord in the air, and will be taken to heaven where they will serve divinity through such works as completing the Holy City (New Jerusalem); allotting the portions for those of the first resurrection; and setting up the thrones for the courts of the second judgment where the wicked are to appear alive. The wicked will be judged following the second resurrection. While salvation is a work and gift from GOD, focus of the third judgment will be the bestowal of rewards earned by each person through their own service and works. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a selection from the music ministry and prophecies of William Murphy:

(1.) Ephesians 2: 8-10, King James Version (KJV): 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

(2.) Hebrews 11: 6, KJV: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

(3.) 1st Corinthians 3: 11-15, KJV: 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every mans work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every mans work of what sort it is. 14 If any mans work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any mans work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:  but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

(4.) Revelation 21: 7-8, KJV: 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (5.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0RFhY3ftac.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
