No Double Jeopardy with God
Unbelievers are not going to be judged because of their sin because of the law of double jeopardy. Their sins have already been judged on the cross in the person of Jesus Christ. We talk a lot about the wrath of God, but we don't often think of the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ bore the wrath of God for the sins of every member of the human race. And so when the white throne judgment takes place, the issue is not sin the issue is human good. Their human good is going to be brought up from the book of their deeds. It's going to be compared to the righteousness of Christ. It's going to fulfill the principle of Isaiah 64:6, "All our righteousness is as filthy rags..." and they will fall to their knees and confess with their tongue, as Paul tells us in Philippians Chapter three that, "Jesus is Lord to the glory of God." God does not send people to hell. All people will send themselves to the Lake of Fire. They'll acknowledge their unworthiness. They'll acknowledge the glory and the greatness of Jesus Christ. And on the basis of their own confession, they will enter into the Lake of Fire. So that shows us certainly a different picture of the character and the nature of God.
