[Hundreds of free sermons and Powerpoints at website...link at bottom!]

FIVE BIBLE JUDGMENTS

1. JUDGMENT OF SIN. (CALVARY)

2 Cor. 5:21

For he hath made him {to be} sin for us, who knew no sin;

that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Gal. 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being

made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed {is} every

one that hangeth on a tree:

2. JUDGMENT OF SELF. (DAILY)

1 Cor. 11:31-32

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that

we should not be condemned with the world.

3. JUDGMENT OF SAINTS. (AT RAPTURE)

2 Cor. 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;

that every one may receive the things {done} in {his}

body, according to that he hath done, whether {it be} good

or bad.(WORTHLESS)

Rom. 14:10

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set

at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the

judgment seat of Christ.

4. JUDGMENT OF SINNERS. (GREAT WHITE THRONE)

Rev. 20:11

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,

from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and

there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead,

small and great, stand before God; and the books were

opened: and another book was opened, which is {the book}

of life: and the dead were judged out of those things

which were written in the books, according to their works.

5. JUDGMENT OF NATIONS. (SHEEP & GOATS)

Mt. 25:31

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the

holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of

his glory:And before him shall be gathered all nations:

and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd

divideth {his} sheep from the goats.

*The first 3 apply to us!*

THE PRESENT BELIEVER’S JUDGMENT IS THREEFOLD.

1. Past Judgment as a Sinner.

2. Present Judgment as a Son.

3. Future Judgment as a Servant.

I. OUR PAST JUDGMENT AS A SINNER.

Isaiah 53:6" the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

2 Cor. 5:21" For he hath made him sin for us, who knew no

sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the

tree."

RICH MAN IN HELL VS: CHRIST ON THE CROSS:

[Jesus took our hell for us!]

1 Agony of Separation - Christ Separated from Father

2. Agony of Thirst - Christ said " I Thirst"

3. Agony of Darkness - Christ had 3 hours of dark.

4. Agony of Eternity - "It is finished"(Suffered all)

II. OUR PRESENT JUDGMENT AS A SON.

1 Cor. 11:31 " For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be

judged. "

1 Cor. 11:32 " But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord,

that we should not be condemned with the world."

1 Cor. 11:28 " But let a man examine himself.

We are not to sin, but if we do sin, we have an advocate

1 John 2:1-2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye

sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the

Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the

propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also

for the whole world.

1 John 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the

truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is

faithful and just to forgive us sins, and to cleanse

us from all unrighteousness.

FOUR THINGS PEOPLE DO ABOUT THEIR SINS

1. CAST BLAME.

Adam blamed Eve, then blamed God.

"It was the WOMAN, THOU gavest me."

Saul blamed the people when the sheep bleated" [1 Sam. 15]

2. COVER THEM. Prov. 28:13 "He that covereth his sin, shall not prosper."

3. CONFESS THEM. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is

faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us

from all unrighteousness."

"Forgiveness mean "to Bear the burden." The man who forgives you

a $1,000.00 debt must carry the burden of that $ 1,000.

4. BE CHASTENED. " Hebrews 12:5-11 And ye have

forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto

children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord,

nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: {6} For whom the Lord

loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
