In today’s reading, Paul will bring up the judgment seat of Christ. This event is an for believers in which the Lord reveals and judges the life of the believer. It is not a judgment which determines whether or not someone will enter heaven, but a judgment for those who have already entered heaven by faith in Christ. There is another judgment seat that precedes this judgment known as “the great white throne judgment,” which is where men will be found in Christ or condemned. Later, we will read that Christ has reconciled us to himself and has given us a ministry of reconciliation; not that we would primarily be reconciled to each other, but that we would be reconciled to God, who grants us unity in Jesus.
