Final Judgment and Rewards

Beyond End TimesSteve Gregg
In "Final Judgment and Rewards," Steve Gregg discusses the concept of the second coming and Judgment Day as depicted in the New Testament. He emphasizes that the term "day of the Lord" refers to a general judgment and not a specific event, and that Christ will come to reward individuals according to their works. Gregg stresses that faith without works is not true faith and that individuals must proactively repent of their sins to avoid condemnation. Finally, he suggests that rewards in the afterlife are not necessarily materialistic, but rather reflect one's inheritance of eternal life.
