This is what that scripture is saying..1 Peter 4;16-18 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
we are to be greatful for our suffering for it brings glory to God through our faith in His taking care of our needs in His perfect tima and according to His perfect will for us. The almighty God is my Creator. Prasie the Lord!!

This is a part of my Christian faith. It is a continuation of the same doctrine in the OT most clearly announced by Jeremiah. Just as Jesus went through the cross/death fire first, so Christians face the judgement/blood before the unbelievers.
My Creator is the Creator God commonly called Father.

If you start reading in1Peter12 it refers to suffering for being a Christian. You can tell by the insults and rudeness of some on this site that this is true. 1Peter13-14 states:"But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ,so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed,for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you".
At the judgment seat of Christ sin is not judged. Sin was taken care of on the Cross by the 2ND person of the God head-Jesus Christ.Human good is judged and a Christian's human good will be as wood, hay, and stubble and be burned. A non-Christian will be condemned based on his human good as his righteousness cannot equal God's Righteousness. It is simple to be saved and only takes a second of time.
John 3:36"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him". Peace out.

>> Why do some persons think of that people who shop the Sabbath are actually not under grace? because of the fact the devil has deceived them into thinking that straightforward obedience is the comparable subject as legalism. it is no longer real. basic obedience is a trustworthy act of affection -- which neither needs, expects, nor demands any reward in any respect. yet, God will reward those, besides, that love Him to the component of obedience. Rev. 22:12 And, behold, I come promptly; and my reward is with me, to furnish each and every guy in accordance as his artwork would be. Legalism, on the different hand, is being insincerely obedient for the objective of incomes salvation -- that can not be earned. If those whom brush aside the regulation of God do no longer awaken, they are going to locate out that their willful disobedience would be rewarded interior the Lake of hearth. Jesus stated so: Mat. 7:21 no longer all and sundry which saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the dominion of heaven; yet he that doeth the will of my Father it is in heaven. >> Can a Christian be judged for following the commandments of God? all and distinctive in this earth would be Judged with the aid of God (Eccl. 3:17). the only difference between those whom are saved and those whom are lost is that the saved have an propose to plea their case for them (1John 2:a million-6); on an identical time as the lost ought to plea their very own case. the subject is that those whom are lost are not getting to look in the past the decide until their case has already been desperate. At that element, they simply get to be sure what info became got here across and admit that they've been got here across desiring (Rom. 14:11,12; Hypertext Preprocessor. 2:10,11). The info is often approximately works -- in the two styles of situations (Rev. 20:12,13; Rev. 22:12). The propose's Blood does not make up for a loss of works. The propose's Blood is barely to conceal the place the saved surrendered their failures to the propose with the aid of ability of trustworthy repentence. consequently, if all of their failures are lined with the aid of The Blood, then all ultimate works might desire to show humble and loving obedience. God bless.

1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
God may be trusted, or confided in, in all His attributes, and in all the relations which He sustains as Creator, Redeemer, Moral Governor, and Judge. In these, and in all other respects, we may come before Him with confidence, and put unwavering trust in Him.

I thank God my Father keeps a close watch on me. "Despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither be weary when you are rebuked by Him, for whom the Lord loves He chastens." This is a sobering passage, but it says "If the righteous are scarcely saved..." indicating that they are saved, which cannot be said for the godless and the sinner. I think this is contemplating the subject from one side - the unworthiness of man to have a part with such a glorious God; but on the other side is God's side - and we see this in Hebrews where it says "Hence He (Jesus) is able to save forever (or "to the uttermost") those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25). So from man's side, we are saved by the skin of our teeth, but from God's side, it's a slam dunk.
