Will Christians Be Judged?




Have you ever asked this sobering question?

The answer will undoubtedly determine the way we conduct our lives here on earth.


Most christians are taught that we are only judged to decide our heavenly rewards, and not condemned. The verse quoted is :

"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"

But that is not all.

The second part of the verse reads

"who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

In other words, you will not be condemned as long as you fulfill these conditions :-

1) do not walk according to the flesh
2) but walk in the Spirit

As the followers of Satan will have '666' as the mark of the beast on their foreheads, so Christians on the last day will be marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeting our inheritance in Christ. (Eph 1:13-14)

That is why it is pivotal for us to heed the parable of the ten virgins to keep the lamp well oiled, so that we will not be cast away in the last days. Did not the apostle Peter exhort us

"For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?" - 1 Pet 4:17

The word judgment is 'krima' in Greek, and is the same word used in Revelation where it is said that God will judge the woman seated on the beast.

There will be coming a time when God will come to separate the sheep Christians and the goat Christians.

Where will you stand?

"But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment." - 1 Cor 11:13
