   What is the purpose of Judgement in this world?

This is an on going question that people are asking me all the time, and I must explain to them that's it's not a free ride! People are not just going to walk into the kingdom of God after living any kind of way. There is a judgement after death, and mankind will be judged for what they did while in this body. This judgement  includes the lake of fire that will purge out all that is not like Jesus!

Maybe I'm a little dense here but.... um... Its only Because of Christ that the whole world can and will be saved. So what do they mean, what is the need for Christ?

Ian 155:
seems It is a "God will only save born again spirit filled" not anyone else type of question ...if we are all going to heaven did christ die i think..

Ian,

I think your right. It's one of those types of questions... "Well, if we are all going to be saved, then why Christ?"

Most don't understand that it is THROUGH Christ that ALL will be saved. No if's and's or buts about it :)   

And even fewer understand that Christ saves them through the process of fire entering into them, burning the chaff out and destroying the carnal old man within them, to birth the new man.  This is a continuous process that takes time and will happen to each person in their own age, when God has appointed them to go through it.

There is no "ten second sinners prayer" and no, "one and done" to it. It's a continous age lasting process as God trains His people in righteousness. We fall to the left, we fall to the right... God corrects us, dusts us off and keeps us going. Even the falling to the left and right are all His work in us so that we are trained in the narrow way.

The fire will come to them now... or later. But there is no going around it or avoiding it. That is the purpose of judgement... to be trained in righteousness.

We of ourselves can do nothing. It's all His Word, His Work within us that does the training/judging and correcting.  I die daily.

I hope that helps!
