Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:10 & 1 Corinthians 3:10-15
Series: Dr. Dean One-Lesson Specials
Duration: 1 hr 22 mins 6 secs

This message is a recorded Zoom meeting. Dr. Dean was invited to speak to the Hephzibah Apologetics group in Oxford, England on 9-11-2020. Due to the pandemic, the meeting was conducted via Zoom. The topic is what the Bible teaches about the "Overcomer."

Is every believer an Overcomer? Listen to this message to learn what an Overcomer is and who qualifies for that title. Find out that after the Rapture all believers will be evaluated at the Bema or Judgment Seat of Christ. See that the purpose of this is to find out what the believer has accomplished that is rewardable and not to expose sins, which have been forgiven by Christ’s death on the Cross. Hear a number of Scriptures applying to this and the contrast between victorious believers and other believers. As you listen to this, ask yourself if you are maturing spiritually and becoming an Overcomer.

Note that Dr. Dean has done a more in-depth study of “Overcomers” in his Philippians series, lessons #11–16.

Does our eternal inheritance depend upon us? Listen to this lesson to learn that there are two kinds of inheritance mentioned in the Bible.

Find out we are saved for the purpose of serving Christ in this life and learn which actions end attitudes earn us rewards. As we live our daily lives we need to realize that we can never lose our salvation but we can fail to earn rewards.

Passage: 1 Peter 1:17-19
Series: 1 Peter (2015)
Duration: 1 hr 24 mins 36 secs

Why does Peter tell Christians to conduct their life in fear when other Scriptures tell us not to fear? Listen to this lesson to understand why fear of the Lord is an important motivator to live our life in the light of the Judgment Seat of Christ. See that if you walk by means of the Spirit you produce rewardable works instead of sinful deeds. Understand that our evaluation is designed to show what has eternal value and that this involves our relationship with God and learning the Word of God.
