The various crowns are described in 2 Timothy 2:5, 2 Timothy 4:8, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:4, and Revelation 2:10. The Bible speaks of believers receiving crowns for different things based on how faithfully they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27 2 Timothy 2:5).
Some of the things we might be judged on are how well we obeyed the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), how victorious we were over sin (Romans 6:1-4), and how well we controlled our tongues (James 3:1-9). But, usually a defendant doesnt have a right to appeal if they have entered.
However, that is not going to be the primary focus of the judgment seat of Christ.Īt the judgment seat of Christ, believers are rewarded based on how faithfully they served Christ (1 Corinthians 9:4-27 2 Timothy 2:5). After a Judgment and Sentencing is made, if the defendant was convicted at trial, they could later file an appeal within 20 days from the Judgment and Sentencing or file whats called a Petition for Post-Conviction Relief, called a Rule 32, thats filed within 90 days. Part of this is surely answering for the sins we committed. Yes, as the Bible says, we will have to give an account of ourselves. We should not look at the judgment seat of Christ as God judging our sins, but rather as God rewarding us for our lives. All of our sins are forgiven, and we will never be condemned for them (Romans 8:1). The judgment seat of Christ does not determine salvation that was determined by Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf (1 John 2:2) and our faith in Him (John 3:16). The judgment seat of Christ, therefore, involves believers giving an account of their lives to Christ. Second Corinthians 5:10 tells us, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” In context, it is clear that both passages refer to Christians, not unbelievers. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God” (ESV). Romans 14:10–12 says, “For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
