DS> First, sorry for the long reply below.
No need to be sorry.
DS> Second, all of the sins committed by the believer on Jesus Christ
DS> (past, present, and future), were paid for by Christ's shed Blood on
DS> The Old Rugged Cross of Calvary. If even one sin was NOT paid for,
DS> Christ would still be in the grave, and all of us would be wasting our
DS> time. As the Apostle Paul noted in 1 Corinthians 15, "If Christ is not
DS> risen from the dead, our preaching is in vain...your faith is in
DS> vain...those who have died in Christ have perished...and we are the most
DS> miserable of all creatures. But, Christ IS risen from the dead, and is
DS> the First Fruits of them that sleep" (a word for Christian death). Later in
DS> that same chapter (verses 51-55), Paul talks about "a mystery"...something
DS> that has never been revealed before. In this case, it's The Rapture Of The
DS> Church.
DS> Romans 8:1 notes "There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ
DS> Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit". And, John
DS> 3:16-18 notes "For God so loved the world, that he gave His Only
DS> Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in (on) Him, should not perish
DS> (die in their sin), but have eternal life. For God sent His Son in the
DS> world not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
DS> saved. He that believes on The Son is NOT CONDEMNED. But, he who does
DS> not believe on The Son is CONDEMNED ALREADY; because he has not believed on
DS> The Name of The Only Begotten Son of God".
DS> Now, once we got saved, we were made alive spiritually, but we did NOT
DS> lose our sin nature...never mind we still wake up with body odor, bad
DS> breath, and the call of nature...as well as the rest of ills in this
DS> life.
Usually we clean our soul when we do right.
DS> Concerning the Scripture above, for the believer on Jesus, The
DS> Judgment Seat Of Christ, which will take place immediately after the
DS> Rapture Of The Church, examines the WORKS of the believers...and NOT the
DS> believers themselves (it is NOT a judgment for sin). If the latter was
DS> true, then Heaven would be empty.
DS> As for "things done in the body", were these done for our glory (to
DS> be seen of men)?? If so, that's all the reward we get. Or, were they
DS> done for The Glory of The Lord??
DS> Things like the Fifth Commandment of "Honoring your father and your
DS> mother, so your days may be long upon the Earth" has special meaning for
DS> me. As you know, my Mom is dying in the nursing home, and for so long, I've
DS> felt like all that I've done for her (paperwork, phone calls,
DS> faxes, etc.) has been for nothing.
My dad would have been 82 this year... it's been awhile since I seen my mom.
DS> Scripture notes that with taking care of ones parents (the roles are
DS> reversed), one will be "recompensed at the resurrection of the just".
DS> However, to me, The Lord deserves ANY of the crowns, rewards, and glory,
DS> far more than I do. But, with all I've done for her, it's not that I had an
DS> obligation to do so, but it was "the right thing to do".
DS> A more thorough explanation on The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ (which is
DS> for BELIEVERS ON JESUS ONLY)....from Pentecost until the Rapture, is noted
DS> below. Even if a believer has all of their works burned up there, they will
DS> still be in Heaven. They may have a less honorable place in Heaven and
DS> Christ's Kingdom than others, but they will still be in Heaven...because
DS> they did "The One Thing God requires".
DS> Also, note that those who die in their sins, without doing "the one thing
DS> God requires" will instead be at The Great White Throne Judgment. They will
DS> have "no mediator or defense attorney", and because they
DS> didn't let Jesus pay for their sins, they will pay for them forever, in The
DS> Lake Of Fire...and with Satan, his demonic hordes, the Antichrist
DS> (The Beast), and The False Prophet, "will be tormented day and night,
DS> forever and ever".
The Lord is coming soon.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Justvig
