Change Your Heart
In the past, although man didn't understand God, God ignored this, but now, God commands every person in the world to change his heart. God has set a day when He will judge the whole world.{1} The evil people will go off into eternal punishment, but the good people will go into eternal life.{2} John said, ``And I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky ran away from His face, but they could not find any place to hide. I saw dead people -- important and unimportant. They were standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. And another book -- the Book of Life -- was opened. The dead were judged from the things which had been written in the books, according to the way they had lived. The ocean yielded the dead people who were in it. Death and Hades{3} yielded the dead people who were in them. Each person was judged by the way he had lived. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.{4} (The second death is the same thing as the lake of fire.) If someone's name was not found in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.''{5}
Don't be fooled! You cannot mock God.{6} It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God!{7} Our God is like a fire which destroys everything.{8}
All of us must appear in front of Christ's judgment bench. Then each person will receive good or bad as a reward -- according to what he did while he was in his physical body.{9}
