Jesus: Living to please the final judge

2nd Corinthians 5:9-10 | So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

• How does the final judgment impact the way you live?

• What should our goal be according to 2nd Corinthians 5?

  • What about the way you’re living right now pleases God?

  • What about the way you’re living right now does not please God?

• If the final judgment occurred today, what would you deserve?

• Why should the believer live for Jesus even after accepting Him as Savior? Do their deeds matter if they’ve already accepted Christ? Why or why not?
