Two Judgments: The Judgment Seat of Christ v. The White Throne Judgment
Two Judgments: The Judgment Seat of Christ v. The White Throne Judgment
Every person will either attend the Judgment Seat of Christ or the White Throne Judgment. Which judgment will you be attending?
The Judgment Seat of Christ is for believers: individuals who trust in Christ alone for salvation. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10 KJV).
The White Throne Judgment is for non-believers: individuals who have not trusted in Christ alone for salvation. These individuals believe the work for salvation “IS NOT FINISHED” at the Cross of Calvary. These individuals would rather trust in their rituals, sacraments, traditions, or works for salvation versus trust in Christ alone for salvation. “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:11-15 KJV).
The list below are examples of rituals, sacraments, traditions, and works that people would rather trust for salvation versus trust in Christ alone for salvation. The list of items below is not the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, to understand the Gospel, one needs to understand what the Gospel is NOT. A person needs to realize that none of these things will save you. If a person is trusting in any of the items below and does not put their faith in Christ alone before they physically die, they guaranteed a spot at the White Throne Judgment.
Religions teach a person can “confess sins” to another man to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can say “sinner’s prayer” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach one can “ask Jesus into your heart” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “surrender their life” to Jesus to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person has to “stop sinning” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “feel sorry” for their sin to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “turn away” from their sin to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “walk to the front of the church” and get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can get “water baptized” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach one can get infants “water baptized” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can be a “member of a church” organization to get saved –NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “give money” to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can make “Jesus King and Lord of their life” to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “follow the 10 Commandments” to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can outweigh “good deeds over bad deeds” in their life to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach people can “believe in God” (or, a higher power) to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can partake in “confirmation” to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can partake in “communion” to be saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “pray to idols” (e.g., Buddhism, Hinduism, Mary) to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Religions teach a person can “pray to false gods” (e.g., Allah) to get saved -NOT the Gospel.
Maybe a person thought one of the items listed above was the Gospel; however, this person now knows what is listed above is NOT the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel is Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, Jesus Christ was buried, and Jesus Christ resurrected the third day according to the scriptures. The Gospel is found throughout the Bible and clearly defined in I Corinthians: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (I Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV).
Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be a partaker at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Believe not the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be a partaker at the White Throne Judgment and be cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity: the second death. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14-15 KJV). The second death is forever separated from God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.
Remember, salvation is a free gift, it is immediate, and it is eternal. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36 KJV). “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24 KJV). Believe in Christ alone for salvation and immediately receive the gift of everlasting life. Believe in Christ alone for salvation and immediately step from death unto life.
The Bible talks about rewards/crowns earned. Can the lost (individuals not saved) earn rewards or crowns? No! Rewards/crowns are only for the saved –a person who has trusted in Christ alone for salvation. “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Revelation 22:12 KJV). “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:8 KJV).
Where do believers receive their reward/crowns? It takes place at the Judgment Seat of Christ. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10 KJV). “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:10-12 KJV). “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God” (I Corinthians 4:5 KJV).
When does the Judgment Seat of Christ happen? It happens immediately after the Rapture. “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (II Timothy 4:8 KJV). “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Revelation 22:12 KJV).
What kind of rewards/crowns are there?
Crown of Righteousness is crown for preaching Lord’s return: “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:8 KJV).
Crown of Life is crown for the ones that love Him (grow in grace): “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12 KJV); “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelation 2:10 KJV).
Crown of Glory is crown for feeding the sheep: “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” (I Peter 5:2-4 KJV).
Crown of Rejoicing is crown for rejoicing -no more tears, pain, or death: “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?” (I Thessalonians 2:19 KJV).
All rewards/crowns received at Judgment Seat of Christ are crowns of incorruption: “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible” (I Corinthians 9:24-25 KJV).
What will believers do with the rewards/crowns? Believers in Christ alone will cast them back to LORD Savior Jesus Christ. “The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:10-11 KJV).
Can a believer in Christ alone lose their reward/crown? Yes! A believer in Christ alone can suffer the loss of reward; however, they will be saved eternally. “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire” (I Corinthians 3:10-15 KJV). Jesus Christ will reveal the motives of a believer’s “heart” at the Judgment Seat of Christ. “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God” (I Corinthians 4:5 KJV). A believer can lose their crown. “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown” (Revelation 3:11 KJV). However, God wants His children to receive a full reward. “Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward” (II John 1:8 KJV).
Can a child of God lose his/her salvation? NO! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:28-30 KJV). “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV).
Never forget, rewards/crowns are not for salvation. Once a person trusts in Christ alone for salvation, that person is a child of God forever. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:26 KJV). Once a child of God, this person can earn and lose rewards/crowns; however, a child of God will never lose their position as a child of God. Praise the LORD! And all of God’s children said, AMEN!
This is proof that a child of God can live the “blasted Christian life,” for he will be saved but lose out on many rewards. “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” I Corinthians 5:5 KJV). This is yet again proof “once saved, always saved.” This is proof when God says you receive “eternal life,” He meant you have “everlasting life.” Once you trust in Jesus Christ’s death payment for sins, burial, and resurrection for salvation, once you believe in Christ Jesus redemptive works for you, you are eternally sealed and forever a child of God. You can grieve the Holy Spirit, but you cannot grieve Him away: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” Ephesians 4:30 KJV).
Does God want His children to live the “blasted Christian life?” No! There will be times when God will call His children home early. “If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it” (I John 5:16 KJV).
Does God want His children to go back to a religious system? No! “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh” (Galatians 3:1-3 KJV)? Be not be the child of God that “falls from grace” and departs from the faith and goes back to a religious performance system. The law cannot justify a person, and the law cannot sanctify a person. The law was given as a schoolmaster to point the lost (individuals who have not trusted in Christ alone for salvation) to Jesus Christ. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Galatians 3:24 KJV).
Does God discipline (divinely chasten) his children? Yes! “And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons” (Hebrews 12:5-8 KJV). The child of God that lives the “blasted Christian life” or the child that reverts to a religious performance system, neither brings glory to their Father or Son in Heaven because both children are living in the flesh.
God does not want His children (the ones who have trusted in Christ alone for salvation) to live “the blasted Christian life,” nor “fall from grace” into a religious performance system. How should a child of God live? A child of God should live by faith. “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” (II Corinthians 5:7 KJV). A child of God lives by faith in Christ alone because Jesus Christ is the One who delivers believers from the penalty of sin and delivers them from the power of sin. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1 KJV). A child of God should walk by the Spirit and not the flesh. “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16 KJV). A child of God walks by the Spirit through the reading and washing of the Word. “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26 KJV). “Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all” (John 13:7-10 KJV). A child of God needs to allow the Word of God to transform their mind. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:1-2 KJV). “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (II Corinthians 3:18 KJV). A child of God should be an example to other believers by reading the Word of God. “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (I Timothy 4:12-16 KJV). A child of God is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, documented in the scriptures alone, so, God receives the glory alone. A child of God should live by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, documented in the scriptures alone, so, God receives the glory alone. “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” (II Corinthians 5:14-15 KJV). A child of God should keep their mind, heart, and motives on Christ. “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:1-4 KJV). A child of God should live their life as a new life in Christ for their old life has been crucified in Christ. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). A child of God has been co-identified in Jesus Christ’s death, co-identified in his burial, and co-identified in His resurrection. All believers in Christ have been resurrected from the dead because prior to trusting in Christ alone, they were dead in their sins. Let all believers in Christ alone live for the One who saved them from a Hell they deserve to a Heaven they do not deserve. “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God” (Romans 6:11-13 KJV).
As a child of God, we need to remember the Jesus Christ alone is sufficient for justification (freed from the penalty of sin). The same is true for sanctification (freed from the power of sin). A child of God lives by faith in Christ alone, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through their life all by abiding in the Word of God. “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7 KJV). A child of God will never bring glory to God apart from Christ; without Christ, a child of God can do nothing. “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5 KJV). A child of God should abide in Christ, remain in fellowship with the One that saved them from a Hell they deserve to a Heaven they don’t deserve. As Christ submitted to the Father, a child of God learns to yield through Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to work through them. A child of God receives all this by grace through His Word. “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him” (I John 2:5 KJV).
Every child of God is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, documented in the scriptures alone, so, God receives the glory alone. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV). Every child of God should grow by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, documented in the scriptures alone, so, God receives the glory alone. Every child of God should grow in grace in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” (II Peter 3:18 KJV).
The goal of a child of God should be to witness the testimony of Jesus Christ and concerned with “soul-winning” to the lost (individuals who have not trusted in Christ alone for salvation). “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will” (II Timothy 2:24-26 KJV).
A child of God should be sharing the Glorious Gospel that has been entrusted to them. A child of God should share with the lost so the lost can obtain the salvation that they received, which is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, documented in the scriptures alone, so, God receives the glory alone. “Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” (II Timothy 2:10 KJV).
The Judgment Seat of Christ is for believers: individuals who trusted in Christ alone for salvation. If you are a child of God, you will give an account of your life to Jesus Christ. “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God” (I Corinthians 4:5 KJV). It is between you and the Lord. Ultimately, you will stand before Jesus the Christ, Lord, and Savior and say you brought Glory to His name or shame to His name? “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10 KJV).
The White Throne Judgment is for non-believers: individuals who have not trusted in Christ alone for salvation. If you are not a child of God, you will give an account of your life at the White Throne Judgment. “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:11-15 KJV).
Every person will either attend the Judgment Seat of Christ or the White Throne Judgment. Which one will you be attending?
THE PLAN OF SALVATION - THE GOSPEL
The Gospel is Jesus Christ died on the Cross for our sins (past, present, and future), He was buried, and He resurrected the third day to show us the payment for sin is paid in full.
I Corinthians 15:1-4: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
God loves you. Lord Savior Jesus Christ was revealed in the flesh for one reason, and that is to save us from our sins. Jesus Christ does not come to condemn individuals. Jesus Christ comes to save us because we are all Hell doomed sinners without the Blood of Jesus Christ.
John 3:16-18: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
All individuals are sinners. The payment for sin is death.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christ died for your sin and resurrected for you.
I Corinthians 15:3-4: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
II Corinthians 5:21: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
If you believe in Christ alone, you receive eternal life.
John 6:47: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
I John 5:13: These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
If you could earn salvation by the following: being baptized (infant or adult), going to communion, going to confession, partaking in confirmation, asking Jesus into your heart, giving money, doing good works, being a good person, follow the Ten Commandments, or any other ritual, sacrament, tradition or work? Why did the Ever Presence Jesus Christ (the God from Eternity Past, the God from Eternity Future) reveal Himself in the flesh and die on the Cross for sin and resurrect the third day?
Galatians 2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If you could earn salvation by doing those things mentioned above, then Jesus Christ died in vain. However, Jesus Christ did not die in vain. Jesus Christ made a perfect sacrifice for sin. He is the Lamb of God, and only the Lamb of God can make a perfect sacrifice for sin. There is only one way to Heaven, and it is the belief in the Finished Redemptive Work of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Philippians 3:9: And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Titus 3:5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
The resurrection is proof God the Father accepted Jesus Christ’s death payment for sin -death payment of past, present, and future sin.
People DO NOT go to Hell because they are “bad.” People go to Hell because they believe NOT the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People trust NOT in Jesus Christ as their Savior. People believe NOT Jesus Christ died on the Cross for their sins, burial, and resurrection. People do NOT trust alone in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
II Thessalonians 1:8-9: In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Know that God is gracious to you, and He has already died for all your sins (past, present, and future), He was buried showing all the world He died for your sins, and He resurrected showing all the world that Jesus Christ fulfilled what the Father asked Him to do: IT IS FINISHED!
I pray you to believe in Jesus Christ right now for salvation -believe Jesus Christ died on the Cross for your sin, burial, and resurrection. Trust alone in Jesus Christ as your Savior. Remember, that once you are saved, you are forever saved. You can never lose your salvation. It is the Trinity that holds onto you and seals you. You do not hold onto your salvation.
John 10:28-30: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.
Ephesians 1:13-14: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
If you know someone who is not saved, forward this message to them and share the greatest gift that one could ever receive.

Once Saved, Always Saved - “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:28-30 KJV).
