I do not think we will be judged by Jesus.
“I do not think we will be judged by Jesus.”
It’s because you aren’t allowing the rest of the thousands of verses to be true as well trying to isolate those as the only ones to consider
“For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 KJV
that’s meant to change your mind when you hear and eventually accept it it will change more than what you think but also what you allow yourself to do
change you
“if so be that ye have
heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
and
be renewed in the spirit of your mind; ( that’s why we hear and believe Jesus word John 6:63)
and that
ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:21-24
then you’ll start to see how cohesive and repetitive it is throughout the New Testament especially in Paul’s epistles
“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, And every tongue shall confess to God.
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Romans 14:10-12 KJV
it’s meant to convince you to change what you think it works when we hear what’s there and believe it and then we find repentance
“
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.”
Hebrews 4:1
“Wherefore, my
beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is
God which
worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
Philippians 2:12-16
when we start to acknolwedge the truth like “ we all do have to face judgement “ it teaches us to repent and walk better lives because we’re also told that when we have sinned though we know it’s not okay we can repent and confess and be forgiven by walking in the light of bekieving the gospel and trusting in Christs atonement.
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:6-10
if we don’t want to be judged by Jesus we have to acknolwedge his call to repentance through mercy and remission of sins
“
I came not
to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32
“and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:46-48 KJV
everyone needs to hear that if they repent and believe the gospel they have eternal life. This doesn’t say “ become sinless and you’ll then be saved “ it’s saying let your mind be changed by hearing and believing Jesus and youll
Be saved
“..Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
when we acknowledge Jesus teachings were being called to repentance so our sins are remitted and we arent judged by them .
“in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:25-26 KJV
If we believe what Jesus had to say about salvation including repentance it’s going to move us to action we’re not perfect but we can change our mindset about sin and righteousness through faith and that changes us
