I was preaching at Wednesday nights service, we just have a little house church, and I made a comment as to Rev. 20:12 and 13
12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
To my understanding mankind saved or unsaved will be judged but at the end of the judgment God looks in the Book of Life and if our name is there we go to heaven if not we go to the Lake of Fire.
In my sermon Wednesday night I made the comment that we will be judged for the sins we have commited and that we would be judged according to our works and if we are not in the Book of Life we go to the Lake of Fire.
My mother stopped me and made the comment,
"What does the Bible say about your sin when you ask God to forgive you."
I said "God cast your sins into the sea of forgetfulness never to be brought up against you again."
I dont know how many times I have heard that saying but I cant find it in any version of the Bible.
If anyone has any info please let me know.
