The Bible assures us of God's judgment through various scriptures, emphasizing accountability before Him.
The doctrine of future judgment is clearly articulated throughout Scripture, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Paul states, 'For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.' This verse underscores the certainty of judgment and accountability for our actions. Additionally, Hebrews 9:27 asserts that 'it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment,' pointing to the inevitability of divine judgment that follows our earthly lives. Such warnings serve to compel believers to live faithfully and to evangelize, as there is a time of reckoning for every soul.
