2 Corinthians 5:9-10 …we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

When we appear before the judgment seat of Christ, we’re being judged for what we’ve done, whether good or evil. Thankfully, God’s forgiveness removes our sin from His sight, as far as the east is from the west.

When the sheep and goats appear before God’s throne, they are being judged for what they did and didn’t do for those in need.

The white garments of the believer, of Christ’s bride, are her righteous acts. Acts are things you do.

The righteousness of Christ isn’t just forgiveness. It’s a real thing that works not just in us but through us and shows in the things we do.

Fear the Lord and walk in His righteousness.

Job 37:23 …he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
