The Believer’s Payday: Why Standing Before Christ Should Be Our Greatest Moment

by Paul Benware

The most significant payday for Christians is yet to come. It’s the one to be received at the Judgment Seat of Christ. We’d all like to know how we’ll be evaluated on that day. Or would we? According to the Scriptures, how a believer lives right now impacts the results of that payday and his future appearance before Jesus Christ, the righteous judge.

Understanding the subject of rewards, which was frequently discussed by Christ and his apostles, is critical for developing a biblical worldview and for producing endurance in the Christian life. This study examines many Scriptures that promise significant rewards to the faithful, diligent child of God. It also discusses the Scriptures that warn of the possible loss of rewards, all the while making it very clear that the believer remains secure in his salvation. The book wrestles with the relationship of God’s grace and the reality of sin and sin’s effects and how these matters will be factored in the judgment seat.

By studying specific Scripture passages and by viewing the lives of several well-known Bible characters, Dr. Benware comes to some insightful, eye-opening conclusions.
