Ok...so then Judgement for our sins was placed on Christ...and when we come to Him and repent, turn away from our sins, then we are no longer under the “penalty/judgement” of sin. For in accepting that Christ did that for even the worst of sinners to the least of all sinner’s... “There is now therefore no condemnation to them who are IN Christ Jesus.” This I do get and understand, where it gets confusing is when you mention further judgement... after we die. What you’re saying is even if we are struggling with a sin, and die without repenting of that sin we can assume Christ will consider we had intentions of repenting, that He will show mercy for our intentions...right?
But this is where it gets really hairy....not legalistic. If our intentions are even possible to look favorable before Him...then why the crucifion and the whole idea of Christ be necessary this side of heaven...why not just wait and see if our intentions were adequate before God without His sending His son to go thru all that?
Our intentions cannot be to look favourable. They are to be. Imitate Christ. Be perfect, as my Father is perfect. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and strength and love your neighbour as your self. The whole point of Christian living is to be, not to appear. God does not care about outward appearances. What is in your heart?
