"The Judgment Seat of Christ"
Because of what Jesus has done for us, let our aim be to please Jesus for all eternity. All believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and must live to please Jesus in order to receive the fruit of our labor.
When we read about Christ judging the world, it can often be difficult to reconcile it with the grace we have received. Four insights can help us understand this: The aim of our lives is to please Jesus (vs. 9). The right to judge the world has been given to Jesus by the Father (vs. 10). During the judgment of the world, everyone will be given what they are entitled to (vs. 10). Being clothed in Christ, our judgment will be tempered by the righteousness of Christ; yet, we are admonished to do good works as a way of loving Jesus.
How do we apply this to our lives? We should be responsible in all we do, living out our faith by generating good works.
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
English Standard Version
Our Heavenly Dwelling
5 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on[a] we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
