Does My Life Really Matter? | Herbert Cooper

1. Great White Throne Judgment 2. Judgment Seat of Christ Romans 14:10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. (NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (NIV) 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. (NIV) 3 Truths About Your Building 1. Everyone is building 1 Corinthians 3:10  By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. (NIV) 2. Everyone’s building will be tested 1 Corinthians 3:12-13 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. (NIV) Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. (NIV) Job 34:21 “For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do. (NLT) Proverbs 5:21 For the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. (NLT) Hebrews 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (NIV) 3. You will or will not be rewarded based on what you build 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,  13  their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.  15  If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. (NIV)
