Key Takeaways 🌟
- No Judgment For Christians Regarding Salvation: Phew It’s a kind-hearted Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card. Your salvation is secured if you are IN, that is in line with faith.
- Judgment of Works DOES NOT Affect Salvation: Your heavenly résumé isn’t just about the halo polish stats, the ultimate salvation contract has already been signed.
Importance 📈
Understanding Christian judgment helps moderate anxiety levels about eternal destinations. It’s not about getting fired (banned from heaven) but getting re-routed for non-compliance (spiritual nudges).
Types of Judgment 📝
- Eternal Judgment: Heaven ✨ or ahem anywhere else.
- Judgment of Works: Rewards evaluation. Maybe you get the corner heavenly cloud with extra blessings.
