Who is the judge and what are His criteria?


Lutero:
Agreed. Saved from God's wrath as past tense spiritually, meaning I have eternal life. Being saved from the power of sin presently by sanctification. Will be saved physically by the resurrection. So then, having eternal life is consummated in the resurrection, but by the promise of God it is as good as done,

Who is the judge and what are His criteria?


1 Corinthians 4:5

King James Version (KJV)

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Romans 14:10

King James Version (KJV)

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Revelation 22:13-15

King James Version (KJV)

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Show me where Scripture says that you are the Judge of your own salvation by faith alone.


so it is present condition that was initiated by a past event, and guaranteed by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1), thus "passed from death to life."

It is a condition which is ever in the Domain of God's will. It is God who judges. Not you or I or anyone else.

Sincerely,

De Maria
