THE RESPONSIBILITY QUESTION

Speaking to the Romans the Apostle wrote, "we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ", Rom. 14:10. Likewise to the Corinthians he said, "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ", 2 Cor.5:10. In a more general statement in 2 Tim.4:l he said that Christ would judge "the quick and the dead at his appearing", but not all the living and dead: only those who like the Roman and Corinthian brethren had become responsible to judgement by their knowledge of the truth.

The first work of Christ will be to resurrect the responsible dead – the resurrection will precede the gathering of the responsible living - 1 Thess. 4:14-17.

1 Thess. 4:14-17
