#Great white throne judgment free
Notably, all of the people at this judgment are thrown into the lake of fire because their names were not found in the book of life, which means they rejected Christ’s free gift of salvation (Revelation 20:15).Īnother judgment that Jesus will preside over is referred to as the Sheep and Goat Judgment or the Judgment of the Nations (Matthew 25:31–46). The Great White Throne Judgment determines the severity of unbelievers’ punishment based on what they did in life (Revelation 20:12).
Again, this judgment has nothing to do with their eternal destiny-at that point, unbelievers have already sealed their fate by rejecting Jesus. In contrast, unbelievers will be judged by Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11–15). Rather, believers will receive rewards according to how faithfully they served Christ (Luke 19:12–27 1 Corinthians 3:12–15). This judgment has nothing to do with salvation, as believers’ eternal destiny is secure in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13–14). At the Bema Seat of Christ, He will judge believers’ works after salvation to determine reward or loss of reward (1 Corinthians 4:5 2 Corinthians 5:10). Jesus will act as judge over believers and unbelievers. Furthermore, unbelievers will ultimately be judged by the Lord Jesus. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus brought judgment to Satan (John 12:31–33).
Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.” Yes, Jesus came into the world to save those who put their trust in Him (John 3:16), but His coming also brought judgment (John 9:39). In John 5:22–23, He says, “Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Jesus states how He has been given the authority to judge by the Father.
