Each of us has an unavoidable appointment. This appointment should constrain our flesh and motivate our spiritual hearts.
Romans 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:10 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.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
So, it’s going to be, first of all, a very public event: fanerwqh`nai, which means more than just to appear, it means to make manifest. Before the God of the universe and all of creation, we will be made known before all. And bhvmato" is the judgment seat of the rulers of old. It is raised for all to see. That is the place where all will appear one by one. Secondly, it is also a very personal event pavnta" [plural] must appear so that each one individually, which is the literal meaning of ‘may receive’. Our lives amount to either good or fau`lon translated bad does not speak of evil, but ‘good for nothingness.’ The believer is either going to have to answer for the good things done faithfully for the Master, or for the rest, which was good for nothingness. This is ‘light, unstable, blown about by every wind’. Oh, to stand before all in that day and to answer to Him.
“For the all is to be revealed” (παυταs) with article = sum total – none left out
(φανερωθηναι #5319) = to make plain, manifest, known = to be made manifest
↑(aorist passive infinitive) completely (as in character)
One day, each Christian will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ (Romans 14:10–12). The Greek word for “judgment seat” is BEMA, the very same word used to describe the place where the Olympic judges gave out the prizes! If we have disciplined ourselves to obey the rules, we shall receive a prize.
