What Does the Bible Teach about the Final Judgment?

What we do with our lives and whom we place our faith in matters. The author of Hebrews tells us, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (9:27). This judgment that comes immediately upon death is followed by a final judgment after the resurrection of the body. In this lesson, Dr. Waters answers key questions about the nature of the final judgment while connecting it to the gospel and the reasons that believers can look forward to that day.
