Why is the concept of judgment to come important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The judgment to come serves as a critical reminder of God's holiness and the consequences of sin, urging believers to live in obedience.

The concept of judgment to come is pivotal for Christians as it reminds us of God’s holiness and the seriousness of sin. In Acts 24:25, Paul preached about this judgment, which Felix trembled at, indicating the weight of recognizing one’s own sinfulness before a holy God. The reality of judgment serves as a motivation for believers to live according to God’s commandments and pursue holiness. Hebrews 9:27 states, 'And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,' emphasizing the certainty of this reality. Thus, understanding this doctrine encourages Christians not only to be vigilant in their lives but also to evangelize others about the serious matters of faith and the urgency of repentance.
