       Jesus will evaluate our works at what is called the Judgment Seat of Christ. These works will be evaluated on whether they were done with right motive, or whether we did them with an ulterior motive, like the praise of our fellow brothers and sisters or even just to be seen by others. God will evaluate our thoughts, our words, and our behaviors to see how they line up with what he has taught us in his Word. That’s one reason why it’s important for us to watch what we are doing even when no one else is around or no one else knows our thoughts. God sees everything that is going on internally besides externally. Our hope when we initially get to Heaven is to hear our Lord say, “‘Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21, ESV). And Jesus also said in Revelation 2:7, “To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God’” (ESV). Think of the best food you’ve ever ate, and this will be a hundred times better.
