Great story regarding the bread picture --- It is amazing how God uses everything to speak to us!
So here's a link to the latest (and hopefully final) iteration of the recent paper I wrote on the Bema, called "Faithful in a Few Things." Attachment 217 A number of ones said it was helpful to them, to clear up some of the burdensome misconceptions they got from LC teachings regarding the Bema Seat. (and a number of Scottsdale brothers provided input as well as editing) I saw what I wrote in the paper during fellowship over dinner with a few brothers. One brother shared how the Lord told him he would hear, "Well done good and faithful servant" from the Lord. But then he also saw how it was him being "faithful in a few things" that would prompt the Lord to say that to him. I really got some light at him sharing this, and many verses started flowing in me. Please let me know your thoughts after reading. |
Very, very good paper!!!!
I hope you have made a few printouts and keep them around the house. Someone may find them at some point and will benefit greatly from your writings.
I don't know if Lee or the LSM has ever explained the difference between the Bema seat judgement and the Great White throne judgement.
I got to thinking, maybe the reason Jesus said in His Father's house are many mansions has to do with rewards for the believers. I don't believe God will give a 'bigger mansion' to someone and a 'smaller one' to someone else.
I think the mansions are like schools. THAT IS MY OPINION fyi. Example, a child in first grade cannot do the work of a high school student. So if a believer is in grade school when he/she dies or is caught up, perhaps their mansion will be that of their level of spiritual growth. That does not mean they will stay there for all eternity. I believe we will all continue growing in Christ beyond this earthly life. That's a topic for another thread.
I also wonder if those 'Christians' who think they have license to sin are actually saved. If they have no conviction and no transformation, are they truly saved??? oh how we need discernment and Wisdom to edify, build up and encourage the body of Christ especially the young believers.
We need God's Word, the Holy Spirit and the Cleansing Blood of the Lamb to be the Light in this world which needs HIM desperately. It is a pity the body of Christ is so divided. Still God's perfect WILL, will not fail!
Great discussion. Thank You SOG and those who participated in the discussion. To those who read this thread, hope it helped and clarified questions.
