<p>5:10 <i>For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ</i>- We shall then be revealed as to whether we are &quot;at home&quot; with the bodily, fleshly life- or with the Lord and His family. We shall be revealed as to whether we are &quot;absent&quot; or have gone out from the Lord, or whether we have instead quit the bodily, worldly life. The revelation of each believer at the judgment seat will be public- the same word is used by the Lord in teaching that no secret thing shall not be revealed &quot;abroad&quot;, before all (Mk. 4:22). Paul had earlier used this word in teaching the Corinthians that the secret intentions of the heart shall be &quot;revealed&quot; at the Lord's coming (1 Cor. 4:5); every man's work shall be revealed &quot;made manifest&quot; (1 Cor. 3:13). Here in 2 Cor. 5:10, he says that the deeds of the body shall be revealed- but in the Lord's book, the thought and the actions are the same. There will be a mutuality at the day of judgment- the Lord Jesus shall be revealed to us, and we to Him. His life shall then be manifest in our mortal flesh (2 Cor. 4:10,11). The essence of judgment day is ongoing now- for our deeds are manifest now before God, in the light of the cross (Jn. 3:21 and context; see notes there). And so Paul now goes straight on to say that &quot;we are made manifest s.w. &quot;revealed&quot; unto God&quot; right now (:11). This is why Paul claims utter transparency before the Corinthians; he has now hidden agendas, because he is completely &quot;made manifest s.w. &quot;revealed&quot; among you in all things&quot; (2 Cor. 11:6). We shall be revealed before the Lord and all our brethren in that day, so we may as well be in this life. &quot;We must all <i>appear</i> before the judgment seat&quot; (2 Cor. 5:10 AV) doesn't therefore just mean we'll put in an appearance. The Greek means to be exposed utterly. We shall have &quot;our lives laid open&quot; (NEB). Then, the unshareable self will be revealed; that essence of personality which is unknown even to us.</p><p><i>That each one may receive the result of the things done in a bodily form, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad- </i>We note again the reference to the body. Paul has been urging us to not be &quot;at home&quot; in the body but to instead be &quot;at home&quot; with the Lord and His family (see on :6). The things done &quot;in the body&quot; (AV) will be judged with eternal consequence. All &quot;the things done&quot; will then be judged. Somehow, the judgment event will take account of every single action, every good or bad. This is what gives significance to human life, thought and action, every moment. All shall have eternal moment and consequence at the last day. We shall then &quot;receive&quot; for the good (Eph. 6:8) and bad which we have done (Col. 3:25).</p>
