Judgment - Bema

Did you know Scripture teaches of two separate future judgments? Most have heard about God’s judgment over sin, but few people know about a second judgment—one reserved specifically for Christians. It’s called The Bema Judgment.

Last week, we looked at what the Bible says about the Great White Throne Judgment—the final judgment for unbelievers who refused Jesus. They will face Christ in condemnation and sentencing.

But this week, we turn to a judgment many believers rarely hear about. The Bema Judgment, it is the moment Christians will stand before Jesus. It is not a courtroom of punishment but a platform of evaluation.

The believer’s judgment is not about heaven or hell. It is the place where rewards are given, motives are revealed, and faithfulness is measured.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…” (2 Cor. 5:10 NKJV)

Many Christians assume, “I’m saved—what else is there?” Yet Scripture teaches that a day is coming when Jesus will evaluate your works, your motives, your sacrifices, and what you truly lived for. This is a message that every Christian needs to hear.
