What does the Bible say about judgment after death?

According to Scripture, particularly in passages like Matthew 25 and Revelation 20, there is a clear teaching on the final judgment where all individuals will be held accountable for their actions in life. The wicked, described in Psalm 9:17 as those who forget God, shall be turned into hell, which is characterized as a place of eternal punishment (Isaiah 66:24). In contrast, the righteous are promised an inheritance in eternal life, which is secured through faith in Jesus Christ. This judgment is not arbitrary; rather, it is based on the infinite understanding and holiness of God, ensuring that justice is perfectly executed (Genesis 18:25).
