The Judgment Seat Of Christ.

–

You may be wondering, “What does this scripture have to do with the Judgment seat of Christ?” The answer is, “EVERYTHING.”  If you are at all familiar with the passage Jesus read from in Isaiah 61, you already know that He didn’t read the entire passage.  What did He omit and why?  That’s what we are studying!  We are going to clearly see that Jesus is showing us God really isn’t into judgment; He is all about Grace….for now. 

Before we get into the subject, we will need to deal with some of the issues that have caused a lot of quite a bit of confusion.  Then we will be able to understand things in their proper context.  You see, if you take a text out of context, you are left with a “CON.” 🤨 As the saying goes, “Context is KING.”

Jesus closed the scroll and did not read this part because, in His first coming, He came as The LAMB of God.  He did not come to judge the world but to save us from sin; to proclaim the ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.  He came to save, not to judge.

God is not judging the sins of the world…..well, not yet, anyway. That final “day” is still future to us.  Our job, as His representatives, is not to go around judging other people.  We are given the task of “RECONCILING” the world to God, not condemning it.  To date, it has been 2,000 years of “The acceptable year of the LORD!”  But the countdown to judgment is nearing its end.

The vengeance of our God—the righteous, holy vengeance against all lawlessness, iniquity, sin and ungodliness—was unleashed upon Jesus at the cross.  That day, God righteously and judiciously punished His own beloved Son for EVERY sin from the beginning to the end of time FOR ALL HUMANITY because He SO LOVED the whole world.  Every type, every story, every picture from one end of the Bible to the other tells the incomprehensible story of Jesus’ selfless sacrifice on our behalf. We are still in that age of grace which, as I said, is coming to an end.

The only sin about which He can do nothing is attached to your free will. If you refuse the offer of His free gift of salvation, He cannot make you. But…..that refusal comes with a hefty price tag, discussed further on.

Salvation is neither universal nor automatic.  It is a gift, which implies offering on the giver’s part…..no strings attached…..and acceptance–or rejection–on the part of the recipient.

Secrets In The Hebrew Language.

When it comes to judgment, the Bible calls it “A DAY;” but says it’s the ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.“  That’s because God is into Love and compassion, not judgment…..and a year is longer than a day.  He wants to bless people, not curse them.

God Looks At Your Lamb.

The old system of sacrifices was a shadow representation of the covenant under which we live today.  Our deal is FAR BETTER!  Just like the priest in the Old Testament, under our New Covenant, God isn’t looking at you to evaluate you either.  HE’S LOOKING AT YOUR LAMB, JESUS.  If He is acceptable…..and of course, He is…..then SO ARE YOU. 🙌🏻 

–

We only need to ask God to forgive our sins ONE TIME.  As far as sin is concerned, between us and God, IT’S A DONE DEAL.  The war is over.  Now we ask Him to help is in the areas where we fail while thanking Him for paying for that sin at the cross 2,000 years ago.

Simon, the Pharisee, had that misunderstanding of forgiveness, too, but Jesus set him straight. You may refer to the article below to read all about it: https://emmausroadministries.international/2021/10/22/no-one-is-forgiven-little/

The Right Sacrifice.

At the end of the last sentence Jesus read in the passage from Isaiah 61, there was a comma, past which He did not read.  You see, there is a debt for sin that must be paid.  Everyone:  EVERYONE, when they leave this life, MUST have a right sacrifice to offer God.  But you and I are blemished. We don’t qualify to be our own sacrifice.  There is only One Who qualifies:  JESUS.  We must present Him to God when we leave this life.

Those who don’t recognize and accept Him as their substitute, as their Savior, The One Who exhausted all God’s divine retribution and holy vengeance against ALL SIN and lawlessness for them, they will have to face “the day of the vengeance of God” for their sins ON THEIR OWN. 😭 God has no choice but to reject them since they rejected the only possible payment:  Jesus.  The sentence is eternal darkness where the fire 🔥 is never quenched, the worm 🐛  never dies, and their torment never ends. 😭 😭 😭

Our Radzon.

Jesus is still proclaiming that ACCEPTABLE YEAR, the year of “RADZON.”  The “DOOR” is still wide open.  The word for “acceptable” in Greek is “dektos.”   Thayer defines it this way: “Dektos denotes the most blessed time when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.” How AWESOME is that?!  God is delaying His return because He is willing that no one should perish in hell, but be saved to spend eternity in heaven with Him! ♥️

So fear not Church; There is NO JUDGMENT in your future…..Ever.  NONE!  Just as it is for our Lord Jesus, it is for you: ALL behind you.  YOUR PAID-IN-FULL receipt, JESUS, says so!  ♥️ In fact, in the previous chapter, Isaiah 60, God says of The church:  “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, 2 And deep darkness the people; BUT THE LORD WILL ARISE OVER YOU, And His glory will be seen upon YOU. The Gentiles shall come to your light, 3 And kings to the brightness of your rising.”

Lights In The Darkness.

It is getting very, very dark out there in the world today. But you and I can FEAR NOT: THE LORD WILL ARISE OVER US and make US shine so brightly in the darkness that kings will come to the brightness of our rising!  We will have such favor and blessings of God on us like never before, favors being things we don’t deserve, Church!  So, say “AMEN!”

More Secrets In The Hebrew Language.

1 Corinthians 1:20 says “For all the promises of God in Him {in Christ} are Yes, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us {you and me}.”  In other words, say “YES!” and “AMEN!” to all His promises FOR your life.  

If you don’t say, “Amen” TO His promises, there’ll be no fulfillment IN your life. When you say “yes and Amen,” YOU get the benefits and God gets the GLORY!

“AMEN” is a very interesting Hebrew word and the most well-known in every language. It is derived from root word for “Believe-aman (אמנ),” first spoken by Abram when he “Aman: believed” in the LORD and it was credited to him as righteousness.

–

“Faith” in Hebrew is “imunah (אמנה),” from the root word “amen.”  So when you say “amen,” you are saying “I believe that message;” in other words “so be it unto me.”

“Amen, amen; So be it unto you,” all who are reading this article.  May you catch ALL the blessings that God has for you!  May you not worried that you will face judgment either now or in the future of any kind.
