The Judgments of God
Mark Palmer · February 22, 2026 · 10:00 AM service
Mark Palmer teaches on the two judgments of God found in Scripture, distinguishing the judgment seat of Christ for believers from the great white throne judgment for the lost. He explains that the believer's judgment concerns rewards and crowns for works done for Christ, not condemnation, since salvation is settled forever by the blood of Jesus. He then presents the white throne judgment where the lost are judged by their works, and closes with a clear gospel appeal that salvation is a free gift received by faith, not earned by good works.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
