Judgment of Believers

        Part 3 of 6

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him - 1 John 2:28

     The believer's judgment will not involve condemnation by God. 

      The word "appear" means to be revealed openly. God will examine and openly reveal, in its true reality.

For whatever is hidden is to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. - Mark 4:22

With the measure you use, it will be measured to you. - Mark 4:24 

This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. - Romans 2:16 

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jews, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. - Romans 2:9-11

But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. - Matthew 12:36-37 

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever he does, whether he is slave or free. - Ephesians 6:7-8

Therefore, judge nothing before the appointed time; the Lord will bring to light what is hidden in darkness, and will expose the motives of men's hearts. Each will receive his praise from God. - 1 Corinthians 4:5
