The Doctrine of the Last Things, The Final Judgment

We have dealt with the "Rapture" and, although there are a number of things about this that we could still discuss, we must leave them for now. Most of them relate to vari­ations on doctrines thought out by premillenialists and it would be tedious to spend all our time refuting error. As we now move into this broad topic, we will try to deal with it in various smaller segments. In all, we can make ten distinctions in considering the "Final Judgement."

Justification and Final Judgment according to Works

What does it mean that believers will be judged by works? This article shows that the believer’s justification and eternal salvation are rooted in the merit of Christ. Therefore there is no room for future justification. Out of his grace God will reward the good works of believers; however, even this remains an act of God’s grace.
