Oghenerobo2002:
I'm sorry to say, but u r getting it wrong. U can't just go to heaven because u r a believer. Bible says judgment will start from the house of God, meaning many people who believed will not make it. Believing is not enough, but *working out* ur salvation Phil 2:12. In addition to believing in Christ, u have to keep to his commands. Those are the things that will be used to judge u as a christian

The verse you just quoted said work "out" your salvation, it didn't say work "for" your salvation. "Work out" and "work for" your salvation are not the same.

What that Phil.2:12 is saying in essence is "live out the salvation you have already received by faith". In other words "manifest it, show it to the world" in your character and speech. Don't just lift scriptures to argue sir, read them with unbiased mind, to learn.

Nowhere in this post did the author said it's OK to sin after you have received Jesus. If you arrived at that conclusion, you never read the post well. Read again sir!

Update: Here's a detailed explanation of that Phil.2:12 https://www.feedmejesus.com/2019/03/what-does-it-mean-to-work-out-your.html

The bible says after death comes judgment but the same bible says that when the messiah come the dead will rise from their graves and they all be judge

Pls explain this to me
yes it is after death u will be rewarded because every human being on earth is a worker of god in his vineyard that judgement is not the main judgement. Note wen we die we will go back to the creator to give account of our works on earth.. God will then reward us acording to our works then he will give us another task. The world is filled with reincarnation, you see why some are suffering and some are enjoying is because of what they have done in their previous generation that is why our lord jesus christ say he that blasphem against the father and son shall be forgiven but he that blasphame against the holy spirit shall not be forgiven in this generation and the generation to come.

What if God actually exists but only atheists would be allowed into heaven? I find it bizarre how theists never thought about that possibility. like we die and God goes "HopefulLandlord, I exist but the test is to weed out those that would believe something on no evidence, you passed. you may pass"

I guess they would find the thought highly disturbing lol

Have you ever heard about the Judgement Day as a Christian? What did you hear about it?

There are very few messages I know that strike as much fear in the hearts of “Christians” as the message of the “Judgement Day”.

The reason is because some christians have been made to believe that the judgement day is a day that is full of uncertainties. That is, you can’t be sure of what to expect that day.

They have also been told that the judgement which will take place that day is based on our human performance. If you do enough good works, then God would probably have pity on you on that day and not cast you into hell. If you are not careful the way you go about your christian life, you would see the other side of Him.

Some have even been told that on that day, God will display all the sins you have ever committed on a big TV Screen for the whole world to watch. Imagine such foolishness. How can the same God that said in 2 Corinthians 5:19, Hebrews 8:12 and Hebrews 10:17, that He doesn’t record your sins and will never remember them against you, go back on His Word?

All these notions above, are just some of the un-biblical teachings people have been fed about the judgement day. As long as you hold strongly to such notions, the devil, the accuser of brethren, will keep using them to take away your joy and keep you in bondage to fear. Especially when you have not been at your best behaviour.

Everytime you hear that the Judgement Day is coming, your whole body will shiver. You will think of all the negative things you’ve done and not see any reason why you won’t end up in Hell. All because you believe it is a day your behavioural script will be marked and in your own eyes you scored 0/100.

What really is the judgement day and how is it going to look like?


The judgement day is simply a day in which God would separate those who received His life through Faith in His Son Jesus, from those who didn’t. Those who didn’t believe in Him (Jesus), will be separated eternally from Him and the saints. Having been separated from His presence, they shall be utterly destroyed (Hell).
Concerning that day, here Is what apostle John wrote to us as believers.

1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.


Did you notice how he went on from verse 15 to explain something about the man in Christ i.e the believer today?

He says God LIVES WITHIN him. He has been made PERFECT in God’s love and would have BOLDNESS on the day on Judgement.

So on that day of judgement, we won’t be approaching the judge of the whole world with fear, timidity or shyness. We won’t have to shy away from His presence because we are not holy or righteous enough. We won’t be approaching Him with anything fear. You know why?

That is because as Jesus IS, so are WE in this present world.

The question now is, how is Jesus presently?
Well Jesus is RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and WELL-PLEASING (acceptable) to the father.

That simply means as believers, we are RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and ACCEPTABLE or WELL-PLEASING to the Father also.

2Co 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.

As Christ IS, is how we are now and will forever be. That’s why we would have BOLDNESS/CONFIDENCE to stand before Him on that great day of judgement. That is what the Bible teaches.

Look at that verse 17 and 18 of 1 John 4 one more time.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.


Notice how it is clearly explained that God doesn’t want you to live in fear of that day. If you are still afraid of that day, it simply means you have not been made perfect in the love of God. You are yet to understand fully how much God loves you. You are yet to understand all that He has done for you in Christ. You are yet to understand who you are in Christ!

Yes the judgement day is coming but Jesus got you covered as a believer. Unlike what is popularly believed out there, your sins are not going to be displayed for the whole world to see and judge your level of performance. You are not going there to be judged by your works but rather your faith in Christ.

The only time you will ever be judged for your works as a believer is at the Judgement Seat of Christ. This is after you have gone to heaven.

That is where you will receive the reward for the good works you have done here on earth. If you have no good works on your account then, you will certainly have no reward from Him. Though you will still be in heaven. That is because heaven is not a reward for our good we have done. It is a gift we receive by faith in Christ.

Left for us, there is no amount of good works we can do that will be enough for us to enter there.

So, the last day or the day of Judgement, is the day in which God will judge the whole world. And on that day, only one thing will matter - Faith in Christ.

Have you believed in Jesus as your Saviour from sin and condemnation or are you still struggling very hard on your own to please God?
Do not forget that I said on that day ONLY ONE THING will matter. Not your religion, church or good works. Only faith in Christ. That is what will determine the outcome of your judgement.
That is the truth about the Judgement Day. That is what the Bible truly teaches!

Having received Christ as our Lord and saviour, we BOLDLY await that day!

I hope this blesses you.

Re: The Truth About The Judgement Day You Should Know As A Christian by Ray360: 10:05am On Apr 19, 2020
scriptures01:
After death comes a partial judgment, you either find yourself in Paradise or Hell.
Our bodies are a blessing because we forget, you can do something bad and feel bad afterward,
that feeling of guilt goes away after a few days. That thought sometimes flashes once in a while,
but in general we end up forgetting about it.
The spirit does not forget, every guilt every wrong every sins will flood into the minds of the spirit
at death. The spirit knows with 100% certainty where it will spend eternity, that knowledge is what
will haunt the spirit placing that spirit in anguish.
To make matters worse, the same personality you were in the body, is the same personality you will
have in the spirit. Your addictions will follow you and will be magnified 1000X. Imagine having the
craving for cigarette and yet can't, craving for porn (that spirit will spend its time searching for people
watching porn so that they can relieve the craving.
If spiritual things didn't interest you when you were alive, you can be sure it will disgust you in the spirit.

Those who recieved certain ordinances (baptism), will discover that those ordinances combined with their
efforts to keep the commandments helped wash their sins, guilt and enabled that their spirit are in a state
of joy at death and recieved into paradise.
While those who ignored these ordinances as a result of choice, ignorance, craftiness of false religion will
have to suffer in spirit to some extent until they have paid a price for their sins.
This is the most misleading thing I've ever read about the judgement day.

Bros, dear God.

I think the statement here is quite simple & logical at the same time, judgement after death, simply signifies that there will be no more room for repentance - therefore, what awaits the death at that particular moment, is JUDGEMENT. Which will be as a result of the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Judgement day.

You come face to face with all your actions, thoughts and words (including the ones you posted online) and you become naked.

You are stripped of all pretense and nothing is hidden.

God is not going to sit down somewhere and be wearing gown and wig and pronouncing judgement on you.

Only you, your actions, thoughts and words will pronounce your judgement.

You will see your mistakes, misdeeds and mis-thoughts and you will deeply regret them.

But because now you are in the spirit and no more flesh to cushion the effect or act as an insulator, every feeling you have, pain, guilt, joy and happiness over your actions or otherwise will be magnified a billion fold, beating down on you feeling like it's lasting an eternity.

That's heaven or hell for you.

Almost everyone will go through heaven and hell.

The amount of time spent in both depends on the degree of evil and good you performed while embodied on Earth.

Then you reincarnate to continue your lessons.

For those alive: When you die, its judgement. Meaning, No second chance, no reincarnation.

Now, there is a time frame between when you die and when the judgement will take place.

The judgement is going to take place at the same time.

The truth is a phrase that has been so abused that it no longer makes any sense. You form your opinion based on your exposure, your biases, your idiosyncrasies, your dogma and your influences, and you tag it "the truth". Can you prove the " truthfulness " of your truth?

Is truth absolute? Is truth relative? Let's learn to use "in my opinion" instead of "the truth" unless the subject matter is universally proven.

Why you are correct to a very large extent, however, the truth need not to have been universally proven. Jesus is the truth, yet He's not accepted by millions of people as the only true God and the Son of God who died and took away the sin of the world. John 1:36, John 18:38, John 8:32.
In essence, the most important thing in this regard is to walk closely with the Holy Spirit and lean not on our own understanding.

The Christian who continues in sin intentionally after he has heard and accepted the Gospel is a fool. He will never go unpunished as God does not condole sin. But his punishment is not like that of unbelievers and Satan (Hellfire), like most of us usually think.

The punishment of the Christian whose performance does not line up with his faith or confession, is that he will lose his eternal rewards in Heaven. He will lose the things God has prepared for those who lived uprightly in Heaven but his soul is still saved because he entered heaven by his faith in Jesus, not due to his good behaviours.

This is the point most of us usually miss it. We think Heaven is for the best behaved persons on earth. Whereas the scriptures teach that it is for those who exercised Faith in the Salvation that Christ offers. You will be so shocked to find those whom you must have looked down on and concluded that they are not "heavenly" there.

Those whom you hold in high esteem may never even make there. Why? Because most of them trust so much in their performance that they have unconsciously adopted that as their Saviour and no longer exercise faith in the sacrifice of Jesus.

Now again I say that the Christian who continues sinning after he is saved is a fool. He really deserves pity. But even more pitiable is the man who trusts in his "good works" for Salvation and not the Christ.

Why? Because the sinning Christian if he is truly saved in the first place, shall suffer loss of his eternal rewards in heaven and still be in Heaven. But the other fellow, "NOTHING for him"

To every Christian out there, you are the light of the world. Let it show in your character and actions towards others. Represent Christ everywhere you go, as though Jesus himself is watching you right now, because he really is.

To the unbeliever out there who believes that because of his good behaviours, God will consider him on the last day. Bro, you are living in fantasy. There's only one way to God, and that is FAITH IN THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS. Not your good works, alms giving, building and attending churches. Only faith in Christ saves.

Only faith in Jesus. Nothing else!
hmmm
So what you're practically saying is that a person who does good things,never lies,never cheats but doesn't believe in God or Jesus won't enter heaven while a person that believes in God but commits a lot of sins will still enter heaven?
So what about our ancestors who never heard about the gospel before they died?
What is to become of them?

You are also making an assumption that the Bible is wrong. Get your facts right before you judge. I understand your views on the bible but God loves you no matter what. The bible has done nothing but inspire hope. It has delivered people from fear which is a great torment. God never forsakes those who trust in him. If you truly believe and then ask for the Holy Spirit you shall understand the source of our hope and faith. For you shall experience peace that surpasses all understanding. What you don't understand, makes no sense to take a stand. May the peace of the Lord be upon you, In Jesus name, Amen.

oh come on my man, the gospel is not just about a so called formula of believing in doctrines in order to go to heaven. Believing in jesus is not about having blind faith or believing in doctrines. lt is about doing the works our father gave us to do. Believing in jesus is simply to obey his teachings because you are convinced about his message of the kingdom of God being at hand.
And this message of the kingdom of God is not some kind of heaven in the sky or what have you, the kingdom of God is about love, peace, and justice on earth.
