How do we know that judgment will happen after death?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that it is appointed for man to die once and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

Hebrews 9:27 explicitly states that 'it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment', indicating a definitive event that follows death. This teaching is reinforced throughout Scripture, which describes the resurrection of both the just and the unjust. The resurrection, as outlined in Revelation 20:13, prepares all individuals for judgment, making it clear that there is an accountable moment after physical death where individuals face the righteous judgment of God. This perspective heightens the importance of living a life in accordance with God's word, fostering urgency in sharing the gospel.
