What's At The End?

I grew up thinking that when I got to heaven, all my life would be played before everyone. Like a movie. All my actions, attitudes and expressions revealed before everyone. Then God would judge me. 

But it says in John that those who believe will not be judged...that is, condemned. 

“For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

John 3:17-18 YLT98

There will be a Great White Throne Judgement, but we will not be judged based on our unrighteousness, but our righteousness. Remember, Jesus is our righteousness. I heard a great description of this recently. Instead of a movie screen, our our life will be before us and a fire will burn it. The wasted time, immaturity, wrong actions and attitudes will be burned away like chaff, and what remains; what we did out of relationship Him...that is what will remain. The jewels on our crown. 

I like this example in that it is based on Jesus, not on fear and shame. "You better act right or we will see it on your movie!" Lol. 

This takes all the fear out of my relationship with Jesus. I get to pursue Him, be pursued by Him, and watch my heart grow in love. This is a good good life. ❤️❤️❤️
