Jesus is not the judge. He’s the savior.
God is the judge.
No wonder Catholics are so messed up about salvation.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. He’s the good shepherd who looks for the lost sheep. He yoke is easy and His burden light.
Our life is hidden in christ with God. That means that all born again believers are under His protection.
All He is going to do is evaluate our works. His judgment is not for salvation.
Judgment for salvation is God’s department and it will be based on people’s works, just like they want it to be.
metmom, Your post #206 is technically right, and I stand corrected. In my “short” answer, I was lumping too much together and meaning judgement to be defined as God judges us sinners and unworthy, but Jesus intervenes, and God then sees us covered in the Blood of Jesus and now worthy for salvation.
Your answer better describes what technically happens. :)
Wow. Your comment: “Jesus is not the judge. He’s the savior.”
For your information Jesus is God, the Son of God and part of the Trinity.
He will also judge us upon our death and will come again in the Final Judgement.

So you do recognize works. That is positive and not what some have said.
