Eternal Judgement

                Correction,  in  this  life,  is  not  ETERNAL  JUDGEMENT,
                because it allows a believer to be restored to the Lord on a
                better basis than before he or she was disciplined.

                ETERNAL JUDGEMENT has very different consequences.

                Some  of  the  religious  people  of  Jesus  time,  the  Pharisees,
                were proud of themselves because they put all there trust in
                observing laws and rituals, better than anyone else.
                As Jesus preached the good news of God's love, His mercy,
                His forgiveness and His salvation for sinners - the Pharisees
                challenged  Him.    John  8  v15,16.  'You  judge  by  human
                standards, I pass judgment on no one. But if I do judge,
                my  decisions  are  right  because  I  am  not  alone.  I  stand
                with the Father.'

                Because  they  would  not  accept  Jesus  and  what  He  taught,
                ETERNAL  JUDGEMENT  is  passed,    John  8  v21  'Once
                more Jesus said to them "I am going away and you will
                look for me,  and you will die in your sin. Where I go you
                cannot come".'

                The  point  when  ETERNAL  JUDGEMENT  comes  into
                being for a man or  a woman, is  if they die without first
                dealing with their sins before God.

                On the final Day when all things are judged by God, it will be
                a solemn and awesome time.  It will be much more than the
                human experience of going to court for some misdemeanour,
                because the judgements made will last forever.

                There will be be three distinctive places of judgement, each
                designed for a different purpose.
                1.     Those at the Judgement seat of Christ
                2.     Those at the throne of God's glory
                3.   Those at the great white throne.
