Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0418A recorded on September 16, 1981 teaching from 1 Corinthians 3:1-15 – Will Christians Be Judged?
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the Christian concept of judgment. Pastor Stevens argues that Christians, while saved from eternal damnation, will still face a judgment, examining their lives in three phases: past (already judged for the sinner), present (ongoing self-judgment as a son of God), and future (stewardship of life and possessions). The core message emphasizes the importance of living a faithful Christian life, not for salvation but for reward, highlighting the impending “examination day” before Christ where actions, words, and stewardship will be assessed. Ultimately, Stevens aims to motivate Christians to live holy lives and actively serve God, emphasizing the personal accountability inherent in their faith.
