Why produce believers human face upwardly a terminal judgment if Christ paid for our sins?
1. Judgment isn't the same equally punishment. The penalisation for sin is death, but believers have eternal life (Romans 6:23).
However, Scripture says God all the same judges believers (Matthew 12:36; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Peter 4).
2. Just equally nosotros endure consequences for our sins hither on globe fifty-fifty though we're forgiven, perchance our terminal lawsuit is a thorough agreement of how much our sins wound God (e.g. Genesis 6:5-6).
It seems correct that we'd accept chance to limited our sorrow for sins nosotros overlooked hither on earth.
3. Christ promises to wipe away every tear inwards sky (Revelation 21:4). Perhaps our finally tears volition hold out at the terminal judgment. How wonderful to know nosotros won't comport that burden for eternity.
When nosotros stand upwardly earlier the judgment spot of God, Christ volition explicate that our names are written inwards the Book of Life because of what He did for us (1 John 2:1; Revelation 20:11-12).
Amen!
