![]() The majority of this book focuses on the Christian at the Judgment Seat of Christ. He makes us consider the implications that our actions and beliefs here will have on our eternal destination, but also on our time in Heaven. Then He reminds us that the same God, who says he will judge our every word and actio Lutzer takes us on a journey to the future when each of us will face judgment. He shows us the Biblical doctrines about the loss or glory that awaits each of us. Lutzer takes us on a journey to the future when each of us will face judgment. When He calls your name, will you hear Him say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant'? We are to be learning the rules of the kingdom and running the race to win the prize Christ has promised to His faithful servants. In Your Eternal Reward, pastor Erwin Lutzer teaches readers not only the effects of the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne, but shares what Jesus will be looking for and how we can use the resources of this life to store up treasures in heaven. We cannot excuse ourselves, for God knows us. We cannot hide, for God will find us we cannot scheme to make ourselves look good, for God shall see us. When God calls our name we will be there. There is no exception, no special deferment. We will be rewarded according to our faithfulness. There are eternal consequences to what we do. And while we will not lose our entrance to heaven if we are believers, what we do in our earthly life will determine our standing in the eternal kingdom. Like it or not, standing before Christ is precisely where you and I shall some day be, 'for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ' (2 Corinthians 5:10). No opportunity to put a better spin on what you did. And while we will not lose our entrance to heaven if Face to Face with Christ. All in all, though, Mr.Face to Face with Christ. More than religion being the opiate of the people, I am inclined to believe that sports is the ultimate opiate of the people. That is not to say that the entire industry is at fault, but there should be a clarion call from the Church of Christ to call into question this whole business of the sports-industrial-complex, and how it has transformed all of our society. In today's world, it's all about million dollar and billion dollar deals, and in many instances, athletes are recruited without integrity and with a great deal of greed. Paul, back in his day, dealt with the "true" athlete, the one who participated for a crown. The only chapter which I found a little out of sync was the one entitled "Run to Win." For some strange reasons, modern day Christians want to applaud all athletes instead of look with discernment at the industry. He shows the various rewards (yes, rewards) which await us, as well as describing the various crowns, and with Scripture throughout, he presents a compelling vision of what we are to do - live everyday for Christ, and every motive to do for Christ all that we do. In general, how we live on earth as believers will effect our position in Heaven.Įrwin Lutzer has written a powerful commentary on what awaits us at the Judgment seat of Christ, as well as what waits for those who reject Christ as Lord and Savior. How we treat what God has given us will also effect our Judgement and rewards in heaven. He also states that everything belongs to God, even money. He also states that not all deads have pure motives, but if we generally have hearts for Jesus we will be rewarded. Every good deed done in the name of Jesus is tallied in Heaven. Erwin Lutzer states that Jesus is looking for servants that serve him and one another willingly. Weither or not we sit behind the dugout or on the fifty yard line is up to us. We enter Heaven under general admission through faith in the death and resurection of Jesus. Our reward or participation in Heaven is based on our works and deeds on earth. We recieve because God gives it to us not because we deserve it. ![]() Erwin Luttzer makes aprofound statement in that what we recieve from God is solely out of the generosity of his goodness. He states eventhough our salvation is sealed by the blood of Jesus, our reward is is based on our works on earth. Erwin Lutzer writes about the judgement of Christians in Heaven.
