This page is about the Christian concept. Bema redirects here - for other meanings see Bema (disambiguation).

One of two judgments during the Last_Judgment in Christianity. The Bema Seat is taken from the greek word bema and describes the awarding of Christians for their deeds during their life. This is different than the Great White Throne judgment that determines whether an individual will receive salvation.

ESV 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 [1] 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
