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΅πππ

(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΅πππ
π¬πππππ”,
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 man’s
work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because
it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s
work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s
work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s 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.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
