The Judgment Seat of Christ

In light of the many blessings that await those who are "in Christ," Paul says we are always of good courage and, whether here in this world or in His presence, we seek the eternal goal of pleasing Christ. Nonetheless, he also reminds us that pleasing Him should be our aim because we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Despite the objections of some, this does not contradict salvation by grace through faith alone.
