Weekly BSF Doctrine
This week's BSF doctrine (weaved into our study of Rehoboam and Jeroboam - and yes, I mix them both up, except Rehoboam is of royal line sometimes helps!) was on judgement.
Two kinds, actually.
Punitive Judgement - on the unregenerated, consequences are grave, missing out on eternal salvation for rejecting God!
Evaluative Judgement - the type of judgement awaiting believers, for whom eternal salvation is guaranteed. Sometimes called "rewards judgement".
Some points Grant made:
- judgement proves that who we are and what we do matters to God! (good thought)
- if we understand God's place and ours (clay in His hands), we won't find God as Judge offensive. Rehoboam chose his own ways, thinking that it didn't matter (to God) what he did.
- substantive texts on this matter of judgement are Ro8:1, 14:10, 2Cor5:10 and 2Ti4:8.
And we're not to mix up the penalty of sin (which believers are freed from - which is death, actually) with the consequences of sin (which we all suffer, to varying degrees).
