Could We Be Disciplined When We See the Lord? (1)

How many Christians today have a proper view of salvation? Most, it seems, think that once we believe in Christ and our sins are forgiven, God’s work in us is basically over; now we are just waiting to go to heaven.

That was not the view of the Apostle Paul. He knew that, even though his eternal destiny was secure, he still had a race to run to win the prize of reigning with Christ during His 1,000 year kingdom on the earth (1 Cor. 9:24-27.)

So, we need to see that forgiveness is not the end of God’s work in our lives, but only the beginning. In this episode of the podcast, therefore, we consider how, if we are not faithful to run the race in this age, we may face a very serious discipline when we see the Lord at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10); we may even be excluded from the kingdom of God on the earth (Eph. 5:5), though we will still be with the Lord in His eternal kingdom.

May the Lord make us those who are faithful to run the race and win the prize of reigning with Him for the 1,000 years!
