Everything I have ever done will be tested by fire; what was
fruit and what was works.

Here’s the point. 100% everything that I have ever done to
dishonor the Lord, to disappoint God, to hurt Jesus, every sinful
thought, everything I’ve left undone, every offense to God, will
someday be burned up. It will be gone. People are afraid of the
Judgment Seat of Christ. I can’t wait. I want that fire. I want
everything that doesn’t please Jesus to be burned up. That’s the
consummation at the end! That’s why all tears will be wiped
away. You don’t have to be afraid of the Judgment Seat of
Christ.

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, God will look at you and say,
“There is nothing that displeases me.” I have arrived because I
see Jesus and I’m finally like Him. There’s no more sin and
there’s no more dishonoring God. It’s all ashes; it’s gone. I’m
not afraid of that fire – “Burn baby, burn!” I want that fire.

Let me review this. How do I know for sure that I will become
like Jesus? It’s because God has put His seed in our hearts and
everything produces after its kind. What is the process? I stand
in front of the word of God and I see Jesus and every view of
Christ transforms my heart. How will it end? Someday, at the
Judgment Seat of Christ, everything that displeases God will be
burned up.

Our Heavenly Father, how glad we are for the truth that we are
going to be like Jesus. Sometimes we look at our lives and we
doubt that it will ever happen. But You’ve given us Your life
and You have put Your seed in us, the precious Holy Spirit, and
have given us Your word so that we can know the Lord. Help
us to see the union of grace and gazing. Help us to keep our
eyes on Christ. Thank You for the day when everything
dishonoring will be burned up and for forever we’ll be like
Jesus. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
