Post #79: Israel's Restoration Prophesied | KJV Right Division (Week 3)

Post 79 · The Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10)

"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 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV)
Who? Grace-Age believers — the judgment seat (bema) of Christ is not for unbelievers and is not about salvation; it is for rewards given to believers.
Dispensation: Grace Age → future (after Rapture) — the Bema judgment is distinct from the Great White Throne (Rev 20:11-15), which is for unbelievers.
Key: Bema = the Roman athletic award platform; the judgment seat of Christ is a rewards evaluation, not a salvation court. Believers are judged for SERVICE, not for SIN.

The judgment seat (βῆμα, bema) of Christ is a critical distinction in dispensational theology. It is not the Great White Throne of Revelation 20 — that is for unbelievers, judged for sins. The bema is for believers, evaluated for service. At the bema, a believer's works are tested 'as by fire' (1 Cor 3:12-15): gold, silver, precious stones survive; wood, hay, stubble burn. The believer who suffers loss 'shall be saved; yet so as by fire' (v.15) — salvation is never at stake, only rewards. The Crown of Life, the Crown of Righteousness, the Crown of Glory — these are the bema's awards. This doctrine motivates faithful service not out of fear of losing salvation but out of love for the Lord and desire to hear 'Well done, good and faithful servant' (Matt 25:21).

Application: Read 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 — the bema judgment illustrated. Ask yourself: what am I building with my life — gold (eternal, Spirit-empowered work) or wood (self-effort, people-pleasing, earthly accolades)? Paul's standard: (1) Was it done in the Spirit? (2) Was it done for God's glory? (3) Was it done in love (1 Cor 13)? Examine one area of your current service by these three standards.

Prayer: Lord, we want to stand before Your bema with something that lasts. Teach us to build with gold — Spirit-empowered, love-motivated, glory-directed service. May we hear 'Well done' and present to You a life that was worthy of the grace You gave. Amen.

예언과 비유의 목적

예언과 비유의 목적 Rightly Dividing · 성경 연구 예언과 비유의 목적 믿게 하려 함이라 "모든 성경은 하나님의 감동으로 된 것으로 교훈과 책망과 바르게 함과 의로 교육하기에 유익하니" 디모데후서 3:16 · 2 Timothy 3:16 하나님께서는 예언과 비유를 통해 미래의 일을 미리 알려 주십니다. 그 목적은 단 하나, 그 일이 이루어질 때에 우리가 믿게 하려 함 입니다. 아래 열 개의 성경 구절은 이 진리를 증거합니다. Scripture Passages · 성경 구절 10선 1 Matthew 13:10–11 KJV And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 흥정역 제자들이 나아와 그분께 이르되, 어찌하여 그들에게 비유로 말씀하시나이까? 하매 그분께서 그들에게 답하여 이르시되, 이는 하늘의 왕국의 신비들을 아는 것이 너희에게는 허락되었으나 그들에게는 허락되지 아니하였기 때문이니라. 2 John 14:29 KJV And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 흥정역 이제 그 일이 일어나기 전에 내가 너희에게 말한 것은 그 일이 일어날 때에 너희가 믿게 하려 함이라. 3 Isaiah 46:9–10 KJV Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there...

Dead to the Law – Married to the Risen Christ | Romans 7:4 KJV

Week 2 · Day 12-1 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead.” — Romans 7:4 KJV Death breaks the Law's hold. A widow is freed from the law of her husband by his death. Paul applies the same principle: we died with Christ — Galatians 2:20 — and that death severed our legal relationship to the Law. We are no longer married to the Law. We are married to the risen Christ. ✂ Right Division The purpose of this new marriage: that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Not the fruit of legal compliance under threat of condemnation, but the fruit of a loving relationship with the risen Christ. The Spirit produces this fruit naturally — Galatians 5:22-23. ✦ Application You are not married to the Law. You are united to the risen Christ. Let that relationship produce fruit in your life — naturally, freely, joyfu...
