The Judgments of Believers

There are three types of judgments for believers that are mentioned in the New Testament.
(1) The judgment of sins. On Calvary’s cross according to God’s reckoning, the Lord Jesus Christ, substituting for man, died for man’s sins, so that all who have believed unto salvation will never come into judgment for sins (John 5:24; II Cor. 5:19-21; Gal. 3:13).
(2) The judgment of self. This is the believer’s judgment of himself for his own sinning, and should go on constantly. When the children of God judge themselves, then they confess theirs, they are freely forgiven, but failure to do so brings chastening (I Cor. 5:1-5; 11:21,32; II Cor. 2:5-7; Heb. 12:7; I John 1:9).
(3) The judgment of believer’s works, which will be at the judgment seat of Christ, soon after the rapture of the Church. This judgment won’t determine salvation but rewards for good works (II Cor. 5:10; I Cor. 3:11-15).
