How do we know judgment is certain according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible asserts the certainty of judgment, stating that each person will give an account before Christ on the last day.

In John 12:48, Jesus warns, 'He that rejects Me and receives not my words has One that judges him—the word that I have spoken shall judge him in the last day.' This passage affirms the certainty of a final judgment where all humanity will stand before Christ's judgment seat. Scripture consistently confirms this reality, indicating that there will be a time when God’s judgment will be executed. In Acts 24:25, we see Felix tremble at the mention of righteousness, temperance, and judgment—a response that highlights the seriousness and inevitable nature of divine judgment. For believers, while this may seem daunting, we are comforted by the assurance of no condemnation through Christ, as we recognize the judgment day as both a reminder and motivation to live righteously.
