Counting Crowns

I have seen several television personalities wrongly divide the word of God. They see in the Holy Bible separate judgments for salvation and rewards for works.

I have read the entire Bible several times and see only one judgment. It’s the only one that truly matters. Are you saved? Or will you be damned?

You can count your chickens before they’re hatched or you can work out you own salvation with fear and trembling.

Even if I’m wrong about no separate judgments for believers and unbelievers, there is one thing you should keep in mind: if you’re not saved you don’t have to worry about rewards at the Bema Seat. If you are saved, blessings and rewards are at the right hand of God forevermore.

The only crown that matters is the Crown of Life given to the saved.

In That Day

2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

This isn’t referring to some special judgment where saved Christians receive different eternal rewards based on works. It is referring to the ONE Judgment Day. Are you saved or will you be damned?

1 Peter 4:17-18 KJV For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Grace, mercy, and belief are all needed for salvation, but our actions(deeds and/or works) matter.
