If they die without Jesus’ forgiveness, their sins will be judged and they will be found wanting. (read: Are We All Children of God? Or Just Christians?) Those who do not accept Jesus’ sacrifice as the payment for their sins live with the penalty due for their sin. Jesus is the only man who ever lived a sinless life and, therefore, the only man who had pure blood to offer in payment for our sins.Īlthough all sin was paid for by Jesus, only those who belong to Him, who have repented and trusted in Him, receive forgiveness of their sins. The Bible tells us that the “life is in the blood” and that only pure blood, blood without stain, is acceptable to God to atone for sin. God’s wrath was poured out upon Jesus, and Jesus suffered death (Romans 6:23) paying the penalty for our sins and satisfying the righteous judgment of God. On the cross, the sins of the world were placed upon Jesus and judged by God.
A true and faithful judge must judge all sin. God is a true judge and a faithful judge. It will take place in Heaven at the Judgment Seat of Christ. That future judgment is not for our sins. While our sins have been forgiven, there is a judgment yet to come. It’s received when we live in His light and in accordance with His will and ways. That penalty was paid! The judgment of sin is done! We are united to God, through Christ. Therefore, no further judgment of their sins will take place and there remains no penalty due for them. Because Jesus paid for the sins of the world with His blood, when repentant sinners come to Him in faith they receive forgiveness of personal sins. All the sins of all people (past, present, and future) were judged at the cross. It’s sad that many Christians do not live in the peace they have with God (Read the difference between peace ofGod and peace with God). The peace we have with God was received when Jesus saved us.

There is no judgment or condemnation.” So my friend asked, “Are we never to be judged? Are all our actions free of consequences?” I don’t think Jesus will rake His own over the coals. We received this from a reader:ĭuring Bible study, a friend lamented, “Once I get to heaven, Jesus will rake me over the coals for all the stuff I’ve done, but I will be forgiven and allowed into heaven.” I answered, “Um, no. We love getting questions, and we love hearing how they came up.
