Personal Life Evaluation

2 Corinthians 5:10 (NAS)

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be
recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

INTRODUCTION: You will one day appear before the Lord Jesus Christ in order to give an
account for the gifts and opportunities you have been given. It is very important that you
understand the standard of measure that will be used and that you live your life accordingly.

The standard of obedience to the scripture (specific revelation) is universal for every
believer.
You will also give an account for the unique revelation that God gives to you about
your personal responsibilities in the Kingdom. This includes your response to specific
tasks, callings and gifts that he has bestowed upon you.

This questionnaire is designed to help you identify how God has gifted you, how he intends you
to employ those gifts and what will be expected of you at the Judgement.

Each main heading is followed by group discussion. Historically God has used both introspective
self evaluation as well as the outward affirmation of the family of faith to clarify and lend
direction to our calling (Acts 13:1-2). After you work through each section meet with your team
to discuss your answers and work through the group questions for each individual.
