There are those who say there is no day of judgment and reject the plain truth of scripture and worse, those who claim that they can continue in the bondage of sin, and full of iniquity, as just because we claim to be Christian we are covered. But the Bible teaches that truth in the whole of Gods Word matters, and the Law is part of Gods character, and just because we say we follow God, we do not get a wholesale license to sin.
Others say but Christ died on the cross, so I can continue in sin, as doesn't that cover it, well I like this from my buddy Amo...The victory is sure, yet He has not made an end of sin yet. While sinners still remain, there is no end to sin. Thus God has appointed a day when all sin will end, and those who have refused to let go of it, will perish with it. Sin produces death, and death is the last enemy to be destroyed.
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
So the wages of sin is still death, but people just want to hear the easy path without even thinking about it, but there are consequences to that as Jesus made clear..
Matthew 10:14-15
14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
Matthew 13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
God cares about everything His children do, and it matters...
Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
God knows that Satan will come to temp them and He will protect them who are truly His children, but those who love sin will have to face Gods Judgment Day at the end...
2 Peter 2:9
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
But the Judgment Day also applies to those who accept Christ and follow him...
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
So many who think Grace allows them to sin all they want, or the Commandments mean nothing, or pick only the parts of the Bible they want and reject the other, or pick up false ideas of Universalism or in "Once Saved, Always Saved", may be surprised at Judgment Day that their name is not in the Book of Life.
Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Now if Christians are willfully ignoring or rejecting what God gives us in scripture and continue in sin and iniquity, its clear what will happen on Judgment Day?.
