In this lesson, the Apostle Paul teaches that every believer in the Body of Christ must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, where our lives, motives, and service will be fully revealed and evaluated by the Lord. This judgment does not determine salvation but determines reward or loss of reward, based on whether our works were done with Christlike motives and according to the truth of grace. Knowing this coming day shaped Paul’s ambition to live a life “well pleasing” to the Lord, and it should motivate believers today to serve faithfully, recognizing that nothing done for Christ is forgotten.
