The Judge. The Christ. All must appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who 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, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” Revelation 20:11-15 Every human being will be called to stand before the great white throne on Judgment Day, even millions that have been ignorant of both the law and the gospel. Yet God created each and every person with something very important – a conscience. The laws of good and evil are written in the heart, and the conscience should direct the actions of a person. Therefore they too have something to answer for on the day when God will judge the secrets of men. They will not, however, be judged for anything that they had no understanding of right and wrong over. (Romans 2,12-16) To all those who hardened their hearts to the good against the dictates of their conscience and did what was evil in spite of what they knew, Jesus will say, “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:41. “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, and anyone not written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15. Then the accounts will have been settled, and everything put in its rightful place. Sin and death are finally gone forever. Out of all the affliction and misery, and in spite of Satan’s deceptive power, God, by His wisdom and might, has finished His work in the bride, the martyrs, and the sheep who have been gathered to Jesus’ right hand. These are the ones who are written in the Book of Life and will live eternally with the Father and the Son in the new heaven and the new earth.
