Brooks (1888-1954) writes, “Some seem to think that if we are Christians, God is not going to bring up anything done in this life. Hebrews 11:6 reads, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”ĭr. Amen.” He does according to His good pleasure and we are wise to live according to His good pleasure. We are to please God by faith.Ģ Corinthians 5:9 reads, “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.” We also find the words translated “well pleasing” in Hebrews 13:20-21, “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Note three things believers are to do in light of the judgment seat of Christ. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.” For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.” 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 reads, “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
‘Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Thus, when He judges, His perfect righteousness is balanced by His perfect love.”1 John 5:22- 27 reads, “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
By dying for our sins on the cross, He demonstrated perfect love for all men.

Thus He can judge perfectly, with wisdom and full understanding and without error or partiality.Ĭhrist is also uniquely qualified to judge because of what He has done. He knows everything we think and sees everything we do. As God, He knows everything, can be everywhere at once, and has unlimited power and authority. Jesus is uniquely qualified to judge because He is God and has existed from eternity (John 1:1). George Sweeting, Chancellor Emeritus, Moody Bible Institute, explains, “God gives Jesus Christ authority to judge all men because of who He is.
