The Judgement Of Our Works By Christ

(2Cor. 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."  There is coming a day when every Christian will stand before Jesus Christ and give an account of his works in this life. Since the Christian has been justified from the condemnation of his sin, he will not stand condemned for his sin, but he will stand in examination of how he lived and served after his salvation. For some reason today, some Christians think that because they are saved that they can live anyway they so desire without any consequences, but this is not true! One day, immediately following the Rapture of God's Church, the works of every believer in Christ Jesus will be judged. (1Co 3:13-15) "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. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." Every work and motive behind our works, & every secret thing that is unconfessed or hidden will be examined. "For the day shall declare it…" So the two questions that we need to answer are,  1) Are we ready,  2) What will be our reward?
