Seeking His glory is the way

-
“The end of the matter; all has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil”
Eccl. 12:13–14
...
the Bible in many ways presents the glory of God as the chief end or purpose of human beings. He made us in His image to reflect His glory and to enter His glorious presence through Christ (Gen. 1:26–28; Heb. 12:18–29).
Moreover, the Lord redeems us so that we will finally see Him face-to-face (1 John 3:3). In light of God’s purpose for us in creation, redemption, and worship, then, we should have as our ultimate aim to live our lives to the glory of God. If we want to bring ourselves in line with our Creator’s loving purpose for us, then seeking His glory is the way to do it.
Consequently we must ask this question: Since the meaning of life is the glory of God and living in such a way that we aim to know and make known that glory, how do we accomplish that goal? As the church has recognized for generations, Ecclesiastes 12:13 gives us the answer:
“Fear God and keep his commandments.”

Meanwhile in the Heavenly Kingdom , the New Testament dynamic suggest that our restoration starts with God Who gives you a new ID by shear grace through Jesus' blood and this grace and status builds up a strong integrity in the new self. God is a good father and after a while (Gal 4:2 when the integrity is strong enough) He gives you more and more authority (gradually) according to his will. This is the Heavenly approach order and brings a wreath /credit on the last day, before the Throne.

Jesus Judgement Seats - 2

Part II Misinterpretation of the two judgments Two Events — One Misreading — Two Thousand Years of Confusion These chapters examine why two distinct divine judgments have so often been collapsed into one — with grave doctrinal consequences — and how the original Greek word bema , carved in stone on an Athenian hillside, unlocks Paul's precise and deliberate meaning. I The Core Confusion: Two Distinct Events Collapsed Into One The mixing of the Bema Seat (for believers) and the Great White Throne / Sheep & Goats judgment (for all nations / unbelievers) is not a minor hermeneutical slip. It has profound doctrinal consequences . When these two events are blended together, the result is almost always a corruption of the gospel itself. What Gets Lost The finished work of Christ is subtly undermined — salvation begins to feel conditional on performance. Assurance of salvation is...

Part I Jesus' Judgment Seats Judgement - for Whom? — A Study in Three Passages These three passages form a powerful trio on the theme of divine judgment. Together they affirm that every person — believer or unbeliever — will one day stand before the Lord Jesus Christ and give account of their life. They call us to live wisely, humbly, and compassionately in the light of eternity. 2 Cor 5:10 The Bema Seat of Christ "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." — 2 Corinthians 5:10 What is the "Judgment Seat"? In the Greek, the word for "judgment seat" is bema — a raised platform in the Greco-Roman world where a judge or official would sit to discuss decisions and form opinions on municipal and civil matters, or even review ...
