Do Believers in Christ Face Judgment? - Louie Giglio

About this sermon

Pastor Louie takes listeners further into a conversation about life and death by addressing the reality of the Great White Throne Judgment. The truth is that believers in Christ will face a post-salvation judgment of their works – not for the sake of admittance into the Kingdom and the presence of God but for the sake of reward. Those who invest in what is earthly will see all their treasure burn up as waste but those who live faithfully, having invested their resources and time into the Kingdom, will reap an eternal reward. VERSES // Revelation 20:11-15, 2 Corinthians 5:6-10, Hebrews 9:27, 1 Corinthians 2:10-15, 2 Corinthians 5:9-21, 2 Timothy 4:6-8 — #faith #christian #sermon #passioncity #passioncityatlanta #atlanta #passioncitychurch #atlantachurch #christianity #Jesus #God — With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a and 11:45a, and our gatherings are available on-demand starting at 7p!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS // 1. What did you grow up thinking would happen right after you died? 2. What would you have answered to this question (Do believers face judgement?) before having heard this talk? 3. Do you think we should be terrified by God? Why or why not? 4. What is the “Book of Life”? How does your name get written in it? 5. What does the Christian’s judgement look like? How are good works simultaneously not how we are saved but also how we will be judged? 6. How was Pastor Louie’s illustration about experiencing his father’s discipline “wrong” (his words)? 7. If the Kingdom of Heaven has “levels” or “classes” to it, what kind of people will be in the “Upper Class”? Where do you anticipate you would reside if you died today? Would you be "Upper Class," "Lower Class," or somewhere in-between? 8. What of the investments in your life will be “burned up” if you were to face the believer’s judgement today? Are all of the things that would be burned up “bad”? Take time to answer this. What is the difference between living a wasteful life of materialism and living an investment-minded life, “enjoying” things (1 Tim. 6:17)? 9. What injustice are you sitting in today, big or small, that will be made right at the Great White Throne judgement? 10. Explain in your own words how Christians are going to experience judgement and salvation simultaneously.
