What works will be accepted at the "Judgement Seat Of Christ?" Why was the unprofitable servant cast into the outer darkness (Matthew 25: 14-30)?

[MessageOfTheCross]

Romans 14:10-12 10You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the LORD, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'" 12So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

2 Corinthians 5:10 10For 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.

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

Just fyi, the last scripture (Matthew 12:36-37) is referring to the great white throne judgment. For those who are in Christ, Scripture states that "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

If we stay within the context, Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and the religious leaders just after they had said that He was casting out demons by Beelzebub, calling them a brood of vipers. So when Jesus says "But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken," He is referring to those who be held accountable for their sins at the great white throne judgment. This is not directed at believers.

 

[Pilgrimshope]

“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: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:31-40‬ ‭KJV‬‬

you don’t want to see this as a rule list but see it as we’re supposed to love one another actually . In deed and truth we see another in need Gods love in us will move us or we need to examine why not .
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16-19‬ ‭

selfishness leads where we don’t want to go . It’s not a count of how many people you feed it’s about how you treated your fellow man . Whether we show compassion on those who need help like we would if it was a loved one . Sin is when we offend God or another person.

when I steal I’m stealing from another . When I cheat on a spouse I’m offending them or with another mans wife I’m offending them . If I cheat I am cheating another person , lie I’m lying to another person

love keeps the commandments because there mostly about how we treat each other we simply need to treat one another in the love the lord teaches

“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;

and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:8-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I am not agree.
Jesus is the only way for salvation.
On that judgement jesus decided those people into 2 group

1. Goat that is how to hell
2 sheep that is save

If only believer save than sheep is believer

That verse consistence with James 2

Faith without work is dead

Consisten with 1 john 1

If a man say love God but not love his brother, he is lie

If you not love God you not save

If you love God you love your brother, love mean help, feedbthebhunger etc like at mat 25

Agree. When you believe in Jesus, you invite Jesus in your heart than Jesus will produce the fruit and you bear that fruit

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love.
Love mean help the needy.

It consistence either the main teaching of Jesus

All the law and prophet summarized in 1 sentence

Love God and love your neighbor

John put in only 2 word

Love God

1 john say love God mean love neighbor and this law is the constitutions of all law

Do not murder, if you love you not murder your love one
Do not steal sma etc


Mat 22
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

I am still waiting to see someone show me in the bible where it says invite Jesus into your heart.

What I do see is this.

Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

2 Corinthians 5:10 10For 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.

If our sins will not be judged at the "Judgement Seat Of Christ," why will we receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad? 2 Corinthians 5:10

This maturing Christians has one eye on the soon-coming "Judgement Seat of Christ (knowing that we will stand before our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ)!"

[MessageOfTheCross]

What works will be accepted at the "Judgement Seat Of Christ?"

1 Corinthians 3
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

[Lion222]

Why was the unprofitable servant cast into the outer darkness (Matthew 25: 14-30)?

Because he was not like the others.
He was unfaithful.
He neglected what he was given.
He receive it but did nothing with it (no works because his faith for it to bear fruit was dead)
He did not really care or he would have put it in the bank (like a personal cd ) the increase that any reasonable individual could have gotten if they cared to which does not take barely any faith at all.

Bank Interest a picture of at least growing into some of the stature of Christ because you have received the deposit of the holy spirit.

Even if you did not save any souls, anyone can gain personal interest given a measure of the Holy Spirit
So he was cast into hell or clearly not heaven because it was a place of was weeping and pain (which equals not heaven)

He is an example of those who's belief is in vain.
He said accurately what he thought God is like but he totally did not behave like he knew God at all.
Like the bible verse that says "if You think you know you have yet to know as you ought too"
He did not hold it firmly in his heart and know it there, so he was faithless and without the works of faith that justify.

Example:
For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? - Heb 2:2-3

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. -1 Cor 15:12

 

[Lion222]

How do we do what the scripture is asking us to do?

We submit to His lordship and do what he says.
Succeed or fail we do our best and He will take care of the rest.
Truth is given the Holy Spirit you will Succeed. Eventually.

yes many say “ I love everyone “ but they treat them like they don’t care at all .

Gods love works by our faith and belief in the gospel of our lord. Jesusnteaches bery uniquely with parabolic language because it’s not a list of rules . We are suppose to believe what he said in order to let that faith and his powerful word change then things we need to change in our minds and hearts .

the goal of every Christian should be to be more like Jesus says Gods children are. They are a light in the world because they speak the gospel but also they reach out and help others .

They see the man on the side of the road in the parable and they don’t pretend not to see them but they intentionally go spread Gods love and mercy in deed and truth because they are truly filled with Gods love by his spirit in our hearts.

true Godly love like he did for us he didn’t just say it , he came and did it laid down his life

How do we do what the scripture is asking us to do?

“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s about belief jesus teaches a lot about how God really is , what he really wants from his children . He teaches how to pray “ our Father who is in heaven holy is your name ......

he teaches a lot about prayer, alot about faith , much about how to treat and look at other people . every principle and idea perception about God that jesus teaches is the right way to see God. And what he wants from us and what he’s promised us in the coming age and in this life .

we absolutely have works prepared for us to do love each other as of God is always present because if we have received the Holy Spirit he is with us whether good or bad until the day of judgement.

the understanding of God the father jesus taught and revealed in himself his whole existence is how we can know God in truth to believe the gospel

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17:3‬ ‭

“For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:34-36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

believing the gospel is the way remember the parable of the sewer the word of the kingdom grows itself if we believe the things he’s teaching

 

[Lion222]

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17:3‬ ‭

Totally beat me to it.
My brother I fellowship with just woke up speaking this verse the other day.
Dident even know what it was.

Now He is looking to lay hold of eternal life by just knowing God and Jesus and letting it flow from that.

He was surprised to hear the connection between obedience to his lordship and knowing God or the obedience to his lordship and having Christ and God come dwell with you.
As he related it, it is getting rid of everything in the way of the relationship.
