“Did you know that God is a God of judgment? That's His nature.” Many believers rejoice in God's love, grace, and mercy, yet struggle to understand the biblical doctrine of eternal judgment. Christ has taken God's wrath for those who believe, yet Scripture clearly teaches that every person will one day stand before God and give an account. Understanding this truth is not intended to produce fear, but rather gratitude for the salvation Christ has provided and a sense of urgency to share the gospel with others.

In Episode 12 of "Born Again, What Now?", Duane Sheriff explores the sixth and final elementary principle of the Doctrine of Christ—eternal judgment. Drawing from Hebrews 6, Revelation 20, Romans 5, and other key passages, we learn that God's judgment is revealed in different ways. Christ bore God's wrath at the cross. God lovingly chastens His children. Unbelievers will face judgment in the future, and believers will one day stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Discover why eternal judgment remains a foundational doctrine, what believers have been saved from, and how understanding God's justice, mercy, and future accountability helps us become mature disciples who live with an eternal perspective.
