Question: "What is the Judgment Seat of Christ /
Bema Seat of Christ?"

Answer: Romans 14:10-12 says, “For we will all
stand before God’s judgment seat…so then, each of
us will give an account of himself to God.” Second
Corinthians 5:10 tells us, “For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one
may receive what is due him for the things done
while in the body, whether good or bad.” In the
context, it is clear that both scriptures are referring
to Christians, not unbelievers. The judgment seat of
Christ, therefore, involves believers giving an
account of their lives to Christ. The judgment seat
of Christ does not determine salvation; that was
determined by Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf ( 1
John 2:2 ) and our faith in Him (John 3:16 ). All of
our sins are forgiven, and we will never be
condemned for them ( Romans 8:1 ). We should not
look at the judgment seat of Christ as God judging
our sins, but rather as God rewarding us for our
lives. Yes, as the Bible says, we will have to give an
account of ourselves. Part of this is surely
answering for the sins we committed. However,
that is not going to be the primary focus of the
judgment seat of Christ.

At the judgment seat of Christ, believers are
rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ
(1 Corinthians 9:4-27 ; 2 Timothy 2:5 ). Some of the
things we might be judged on are how well we
obeyed the Great Commission ( Matthew 28:18-20 ),
how victorious we were over sin ( Romans 6:1-4 ),
and how well we controlled our tongues ( James
3:1-9 ). The Bible speaks of believers receiving
crowns for different things based on how faithfully
they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27 ; 2 Timothy
2:5 ). The various crowns are described in 2 Timothy
2:5 , 2 Timothy 4:8 , James 1:12 , 1 Peter 5:4 , and
Revelation 2:10 . James 1:12 is a good summary of
how we should think about the judgment seat of
Christ: “Blessed is the man who perseveres under
trial, because when he has stood the test, he will
receive the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love him.”
