We are judged by Christ's righteousness, and not by our own. If you miss this, you've missed just about all of it

No, KM said we were judged, and I am saying the Bible says we will be judged, unless some Protestants on this forum are already dead.

Context, contex, not cherry-picking!

The final judgment in time has yet to occur, but Scripture tells us that although the baliff has yet to read the verdict, it's already in.

We have been redeemed by His blood. We have been purchased with a price. All past tense, by the will of God from before the foundation of the world.

As Blue-duncan said, one day at a time of God's choosing the lives of each of God's children will catch up to their election by God from before time, and they will know "the power of God and the wisdom of God."

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of GOD." -- 1 Corinthians 1:18

And how do we know we are saved? Because we believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and we believe that He rose from the cross to prove it all true.

As God wills.

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" -- Ephesians 1:4-7

Read it, Kosta, and find the confident certainty God has given His children.
