How do we know judgment is real according to the Bible?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible affirms that God's judgment is inevitable, and it has already been satisfied through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
The judgment of God, as presented in Scripture, is a central tenet of the Christian faith, highlighting that all ungodly deeds will be accounted for. Jude 1:14-15 proclaims that the Lord will come to execute judgment upon the ungodly, confirming that God does not overlook sin. For believers, however, this judgment has already been satisfied at Calvary, where Jesus bore our sins and took upon Himself the full wrath of God. Romans 5:1 states, 'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Thus, while the judgment of God is imminent for the unrepentant, for the child of God, it has been fully addressed through Christ’s sacrificial death.
