“A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes” (Proverbs 20:8).
Here are the verses on judgment in the Bible. These deal with some things that will take place at the judgment, what God will do at the judgment, and who will be at the judgment. These are the things about God judging secrets, and every secret thing, the Great White Throne judgment, and some of the characteristics of it.
“Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart” (Psalms 44:21).
“O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there” (Psalms 139:1-8). This is the passage that says that God knows everything about you.
“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” (Matthew 12:36).
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:11-15).
“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:14).
“Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance” (Psalms 90:8).
“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:31). God is going to judge man by that Man, Jesus Christ. They are not going to be judged according to the standard of man, but according to the perfect standard of Christ Himself.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). There isn’t going to be any second chance.
“He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it” (Psalms 10:11).
“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment” (II Peter 2:4).
“There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves” (Job 34:22).
If God were to call you to preach, try to say something in every message you preach about judgment. People need to hear that they are responsible and accountable for their actions. God does not forget any of them, and He will bring them to judgment if they are not dealt with and they are not right with God. If we don’t judge them in this life, God will judge them in the next.
The judgment seat of Christ is not for judging sin. It is for judging works of the Christian after they are saved. Obviously, if a man is a worldly Christian or one that is indulging in sin, then he is not going to have a lot of works to be judged. We might also consider works as fruit, and there will be no fruit to inspect. Therefore, in that sense, the Christian will suffer loss.
