YOU WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS
Each man or woman will be judged according to his or her own works or what he or she has done
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation – John 5:28-29.
There will be two resurrections, the resurrection of life at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of damnation after the thousand-year reign of our Lord on earth. The resurrection of life is for those who would have DONE GOOD and the resurrection of damnation is for those who would have DONE EVIL. In other words, the resurrection of life is a reward for having DONE GOOD, and the resurrection of damnation is judgment for having DONE EVIL.
That means, each one of us will be judged according to what he or she has done. Each man or woman will be judged according to his or her own works or what he or she has done. The belief that Christians will not be judged based on their works is not only heretical but it’s also a doctrine of demons, it’s a doctrine of men. Christians will not be judged based on the finished work of the cross as many claim. Christians will not be judged based on what the Lord Jesus Christ did but based on what they did. That’s the Doctrine of Christ.
Revelation 2:23 says, ‘And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: AND I WILL GIVE UNTO EVERY ONE OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS.’ The Lord Jesus Christ was talking to the church in Thyatira, Christians, telling them He will judge each of them based on their works, not His works. That’s what the Lord Jesus Christ taught and that’s what the early church fathers believed, taught and preached. The notion that we’ll be judged based on what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us is not what the Lord taught. We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account for the things we did while in this body, both good and evil. That’s the Doctrine of Christ!
PRAYER
Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for the church to depart from the doctrines of demons and the doctrines of men. I pray that the today’s church should preach and teach the Doctrine of Christ just as the Lord Jesus Christ commanded. Amen.
