Our Unavoidable Appointment With God

  • Charles Stanley emphasizes that every person has a predestined appointment with God and its timing is entirely under God's control.
  • He warns that apparent accidents often coincide with God's predetermined moment, so it's foolish to presume on future time for repentance.
INSIGHT

Two Distinct Biblical Judgments

  • Stanley distinguishes two biblical judgments: the believer's judgment seat of Christ and the great white throne of final condemnation.
  • He clarifies that the judgment seat rewards believers for deeds, not salvation, while the great white throne condemns those whose names aren't in the book of life.
INSIGHT

Individual Accountability Before Christ

  • Every believer will individually give an account to Christ at the bema (judgment) seat, and God will judge each fairly according to deeds.
  • Stanley notes God's infinitude makes individualized judgment possible and that degrees of reward will reflect differing knowledge and responsibility.
