Two Judgments Every Christian Should Understand

In this episode, Pastor John S. Dickerson explains an important biblical truth from 2 Corinthians 5:10: believers will stand before Christ to give an account of their lives. Scripture reveals two judgments—one that determines salvation (based solely on faith in Jesus Christ), and another that evaluates how we stewarded what God entrusted to us. Salvation is by grace through faith alone. We cannot earn it. But once we are saved, we are responsible for how we use our time, talents, resources, influence, and opportunities for God’s Kingdom. The second judgment is not about losing heaven—it is about eternal rewards and accountability. This message invites you to reflect: What are you doing with what God has given you? Live faithfully. Invest eternally. One day, you will look into the eyes of Christ.
