2 Different Judgments

Hebrews 9:27-28 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
Every one of us will one day be judged by God. For the believer it will be a judgment for rewards.
2Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Here the Lord will evaluate the believers life for the purpose of giving them eternal rewards. This is not to say you can earn your salvation by works but that you'll receive rewards for what you've done for the kingdom with what God has given you.

Revelation 20:11-15 The I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
This is the judgment of all the unbelievers who have never put their faith in Jesus Christ 'God the Son' for the forgiveness of sins.

Jesus is offering you forgiveness of sins and all you have to do is believe on Him and ask for forgiveness. Jesus left heaven and died on the cross for the sins of the world. He was buried and rose from the dead on the third day thus defeating death. Now He stands at the door waiting for you to receive Him as your Lord and Savior. When you do, He'll save you from the grip that sin has in your life. He'll give you eternal life and you'll be a new creation in Christ.

Don't wait, time is short. Your eternal future depends on the decision you make while here on earth before you die.

God Bless You
