Revelation 14:6,7
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
God’s final message to mankind pictures judgment.
Offenbarung 22:12
Und siehe, ich komme bald und mein Lohn ist mit mir, um jedem zu geben, wie sein Werk ist.
Since Jesus comes to give out His rewards, there must be a judgment before He comes to determine who receives what reward, when He comes.
Matthew 12:36
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Jesus pictured the judgment as future.
Acts 24:25
Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”
Paul reasons with Felix of judgment to come.
Daniel 7:9,10
I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
Daniel saw the sitting of the Supreme Court of the Universe and the opening of the judgment.
Ecclesiastes 12:13,14
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
God will bring every secret thing into judgment.
Hebräer 4:13
Und kein Geschöpf ist vor ihm verborgen, sondern es ist alles bloß und aufgedeckt vor den Augen dessen, dem wir Rechenschaft geben müssen.
All things are open unto God.
2 Cornithians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:12
So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
Everyone of us must give account of himself to God.
Psalm 87:6
The Lord will record, when He registers the peoples: “This one was born there.”
In the judgment the Lord considers where we were born.
Jeremiah 2:22
“For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before Me,” says the Lord God.
All of our iniquities (sins) are marked before God.
Malachi 3:16
Then those who reared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.
All of our righteous acts prompted by unselfish motives, accomplished through the grace of Christ, are recorded before God.
Revelation 20:12
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.
The basis of judgment is the record of our lives revealed in heaven’s record.
Apostelgeschichte 3:19
Tut also Buße und bekehrt euch, damit eure Sünden ausgelöscht werden und Zeiten der Erquickung vom Angesicht des Herrn kommen.
If we turn from sin in repentance, our sins will be blotted out of God’s record in the final judgment.
Revelation 3:5
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
If we continue in sin, failing to overcome, openly rebelling against God, our names are blotted out of God’s record.
Römer 8:1
So gibt es jetzt keine Verdammnis mehr für die, die in Christus Jesus sind, die nicht nach dem Fleisch leben, sondern nach dem Geist.
The only way to overcome the condemnation of judgment is through Jesus.
Hebrews 7:24,25
But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Our heavenly high Priest is able to save to the uttermost all who come to God through Him.
Johannes 14:26
Aber der Helfer, der Heilige Geist, den der Vater in meinem Namen senden wird, er wird euch alles lehren und euch an alles erinnern, was ich euch gesagt habe.
Der Heilige Geist ist Gottes Lehrer.
Matthäus 12:31,32
Darum sage ich euch: Jede Sünde und Lästerung wird den Menschen vergeben werden; aber die Lästerung gegen den Geist wird den Menschen nicht vergeben werden. Wer ein Wort gegen den Menschensohn redet, dem wird es vergeben werden; wer aber gegen den Heiligen Geist redet, dem wird es nicht vergeben werden, weder in dieser noch in der zukünftigen Welt.
To reject the convicting, converting, instructing power of the Holy Spirit continually is to commit the unpardonable sin.
