THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
By R.T. Kendall

First published in 1993 under the title When God says well done, this book is indeed worth another edition at a time when the whole notion of judgement is disappearing from the horizon of many Christians.
R.T. does not deal here with the great divorce between heaven and hell with their saved and lost. The question is as to whether there will be a reward for believers in heaven. For some interpreters, reward would simply be acceptance with the Lord in glory, the greatest privilege, and there can be no entertaining degrees of remuneration before the judgement seat. Such an idea would seem to be not only unthinkable, but tainted with examination-like grading, which hardly fits ethically with the heavenly verdict.
