January 10, how believers will be judged.

I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.

Then another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged by what was written in the books,

according to what they had done.

Revelation 2012.

What about the last judgment?

Will our sins be remembered?

Will they be revealed?

Anthony Herkimer puts it wisely like this.

The failures and shortcomings of believers will enter into the picture on the day of judgment.

But, and this is the important point, the sins and shortcomings of believers will be

revealed in the judgment as forgiven sins, whose guilt has been totally covered by the blood of Jesus

Christ. Picture it like this. God has a file on every person, the books of Revelation

2012. All you've ever done or said, Matthew 1236, is recorded there with a grade

from A to F.

When you stand before the judgment seat of Christ, 2 Corinthians 510, to be judged for what you have done in the body, whether good or evil,

God will open the file and lay out the tests with their grades. He will pull out all the Fs and put them in a pile.

Then he will take all the D's and C's and pull the good parts of the test out and place them

with the A's, then put the bad with the F's.

Then he will take all the B's and A's and pull the bad parts out of them

and put them in the F pile and put all the good parts in the A pile.

Then he will open another file, the Book of Life, and find your name because you are in Christ
