We don’t escape the judgment of God we satisfy the judgment of God in Christ Jesus.Įvery Christian has a judgment day in at least two senses. But the idea is this is that we are spared from this awesome throne of judgment, because our sins were already judged in Jesus at the cross. It isn’t because we can hide from the great right throne – nobody can hide from the throne of God’s judgment. However, many if not most Bible scholars believe that Christians never appear before this great white throne. It presents it in terms that indicate for us a very comprehensive judgment. Later on, it’s going to speak even of those from the sea. It speaks of judging the living and the dead. That describes a great and a comprehensive judgment. And the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written in the books.

Continuing on here into verse 12 it says this: 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. It is a place where a King reigns in divine sovereignty. It is white in its purity and holiness – and it is, of course, a throne. We see the mention of a great white throne – a throne that is great in its status, great in its power, and great in its authority. Here’s what it says in Revelation 20:11: Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose faith, face heaven and earth fled away, and there was found no place for them. But from every indication we have, the ultimate judgment of God (what we sometimes called the Great White Throne Judgment, from Revelation 20:11) happens later, at some time in eternity future. It is always difficult trying to sort out things chronologically when it comes to the age to come. Many other passages bring us back to the simple, thought that believers go immediately to the presence of the Lord when they die. As Jesus told the thief on the cross who believed: today, you will be with Me in paradise. As Paul the apostle said: to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

We believe that the Bible teaches that when a believer dies, they go to be with the Lord. This is something we need to think about very carefully. If, when we die, we go to heaven or hell, where does judgment day come in with a saved Christian? Will they still be judged on judgment day? If so, why aren’t we forgiven for our sins? Here are five things that will happen on Judgment Day.Are Christians going to face judgment? Will Christians be judged? We can be sure of this: no mistakes will be made in our hearings because we will be judged by a perfect God. We know from Scripture that God will be just and fair (Acts 10:34) and that God can’t be deceived (Galatians 6:7). This passage from Revelation introduces us to the final judgment – the end of human history and the beginning of the eternal state. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works…” (Revelation 20:11-12). And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. The Bible tells us, “And I saw a great white throne, and Him sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. The apostle John recorded some details of the final judgment. We all have a divine appointment with our Creator. Regardless of how we may choose to interpret prophecy of the end times, we are told that “it is appointed to me once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). The first and most important thing to understand about the final judgment is that it can’t be avoided. Many Christians wonder what will happen on Judgment Day.
