who will render to every man according to his works: -the same truth is taught in many other passages- Matthew 16:27; 1 Corinthians 3:8; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 2:23; Revelation 20:12; Revelation 22:12.

Note: Judgement is not based on 'what happened to you', or only on 'what you didn't do', it includes 'what did you do'!

Many religious people are depending upon something other than. personal life lived in faithfulness to Christ and His mercy to gain them acceptance with God.
