John 3:17
King James Version
17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
What is JUDGMENT day?
What are we to expect?
Who will judge whom?
How shall we prepare?
The Bible has the answers.
And it is good to meditate upon these things:
Psalm 1:4-6
King James Version
4 The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 9:7-8

he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,
he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

for it is nigh at hand;

they shall give account thereof
in the day of judgment.

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 25:40-41
King James Version
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels:

of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19-21
King James Version
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.

48 He that rejecteth me,
and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.

by that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the dead.

whosoever thou art that judgest:
or wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God
is according to truth
against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such things,
and doest the same,
that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God

treasurest up unto thyself wrath
against the day of wrath and revelation
of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Romans 2:7-11

indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish,
upon every soul of man that doeth evil,

to every man that worketh good,
to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

that no man put a stumblingblock
or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

ye have no need that I write unto you.

then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.

that that day should overtake you as a thief.

the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.

King James Version
11 And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead,
small and great,
stand before God;
and the books were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead
which were in them:
and they were judged every man
according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
