Our Judgment Is Sealed — So What's Left to Talk About?

Our Judgment Is Sealed — So What's Left to Talk About?

September 24, 2026 · 31 min

As believers, our judgment is sealed. It is finished. It is done. So why are we still talking about judgment? In this episode, we continue our series on eternity by working through the judgments that are still coming — not for your salvation, which is already settled, but for nations, and for how believers actually lived.We trace the judgment of the nations through Joel 3, Isaiah 2, and Matthew 25's sheep and the goats, and carefully unpack a hard teaching: that nations and generations will answer for how they treated God's people, without that changing the truth that salvation is by grace through faith alone. Dr. Abidan Shah uses Martin Luther's own late-life writings against the Jewish people as a sobering warning, and Ananias and Sapphira as a picture of how seriously God takes what we do with what we've been given. The episode closes at the Bema seat, the judgment seat of Christ, where believers will be rewarded not based on resources but faithfulness — the same lesson Jesus drew from a widow's two mites.0:00 – Our Judgment Is Sealed — Here's Why That Matters (And Debunking the Suicide Myth)5:03 – The Judgment of the Nations (Joel 3, Isaiah 2, Matthew 25)11:53 – Reading Matthew 25: The Sheep and the Goats15:42 – A Warning From Martin Luther's Worst Chapter18:09 – Ananias and Sapphira: A Lesson From the Past — And Why God Still Judges Individually24:50 – The Bema Seat: How Believers Will Be Judged (And the Widow's Two Mites) Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose. GET THE LETTER If you enjoyed the show, please like and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, and also subscribe to our YouTube channel.
