BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 20:11-15 KJV (RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s Manual 28 July 2019)
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
MEMORY VERSE: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” – Hebrews 9:27 (scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 28 July 2019 HYMN)
LESSON INTRODUCTION: Judgement one of the common destinies awaiting all men (Heb. 9:27). Believers and unbelievers, the young and old, the rich and poor, will all face judgement. The judgement will not be corporate but personal. As there is more than one resurrection, there is more than one judgment. Some of the judgements the Bible speaks about include the believers’ self judgement at the communion table (1 Cor. 11:29-31), the judgement of the believers at the judgement seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10), the judgement of the nations (Matt. 25:32) and the judgement of the unsaved at the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11). In this lesson, our focus is on the judgement of the believers and the judgement of the unsaved.

A. THE SAINTS
Believers will no longer be judged for sin, as long as they do not go back to sin. The believers’ sins, which have been repented of and forsaken, have been judged in Christ at Calavary (Rom. 8:1). However, there is a judgement the believers must go through. This is the judgement of the believers’ works for the purposes of rewards. Matt. 16:27.
B. ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT
i. The focus of the judgement: The quality of work, the motive behind every work and the level of faithfulness. 1 Cor. 3:13; 2 Tim. 2:20; 2 Cor. 5:10.
ii. The candidates for the judgement: The resurrected “dead in Christ” and the living who remain in Christ when he comes at rapture. 1 Thess. 4:16-17.
iii. The place of judgement: The judgement seat of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:10.
iv. The time for judgement: After Christ’s coming at rapture during Tue marriage supper of the Lamb. Rev. 19:9; 20:1-5.

ii. The place of judgement: The Great White Throne. God, the impartial and all knowing God sits on the throne. Rev. 20:11.
iii. The time for judgement: After millennial (One thousand years), reign of Christ on earth. Rev. 20:5-6
iv. The result for judgement: Sinners shall be cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:15; Psalms 9:17.

(iii) Both the sinners and saints have a choice to make now!
