Various Passages
Unbelievers hate the idea of God the Judge. Some go so far as to deny the idea of a judgement altogether, yet this no more changes the facts than denying gravity will make you float if you jump out of aeroplane without a parashoot. Your conscience agrees and will testify against you on your deathbed, for “it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Heb. 9:27). Our only hope of escape is God’s righteousness. Jesus bore the judgement we deserve when He died on the cross, and offers salvation and forgiveness to all who will trust Him. In Him we receive God’s righteousness as a free gift through faith. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Rom. 8:1). A message by Ivor Jefferies.
