Bema Seat Judgement- Part 7

1 Corinthians  4:1-5

4:1 Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. 3 But to me it is a very small thing that I should be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. 5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

Observations

• The  judgement of God will come at a specific time
• the Lord will judge the things hidden in the darkness
• the Lord will judge the motives of men’s hearts
• each man’s praise will not come from men but rather from the Lord
