Down time

HEAD(hed), (n.) 1. the top part of the human body or the front part of an animal where the eyes, nose, east and mouth are. "Your brain is in your head."

In order to escape the coming judgment pertaining to destiny, one must repent (turn from) his or her sin and place faith and trust in what God has already accomplished for him or her in Christ Jesus. There will no escape when that day arrives. Rejecting the cross means one rejects God's wrath poured out there and will take on the full outpouring of God's wrath personally--there will be no survivors.
Now, as to works. Two passages to consider: 1 Corinthians 3:8-15 and 2 Corinthians 5:9-10.
First, who is being judged? Well, who is "we" in the above-mentioned passages? Is it unrepentant unbelievers?
Second, where is the judgment occuring? 2 Corinthians 5:10 refers to the bema seat. Imagine you participated in a contest--whether you win or lose, as a participant you stand for judgment before a judge or group of judges. If you are not a participant, you cannot stand there. This is one way to think of the bema seat, reserved only for those who participate. One who has not benefited from the judgment of the cross will not stand here, but will stand at the Great White Throne judgment.
Now, what are the consequences of this bema seat judgment for Christians?
1. Reward 1 Corinthians 3:8, 14 Such as:
2. Loss of reward AND of one's work: "If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." (1 Corinthians 3:15)
