Judgment Day

The "day of the Lord" when God will judge the world by Jesus Christ in righteousness — exposing all hidden things and setting all wrongs right.

Both Testaments speak of a coming day of God's judgment. The New Testament makes Jesus the appointed judge.

The day is not first about fear but about justice — every evil will be answered, every secret exposed, every faithful word vindicated.

For believers, the judgment confirms their union with Christ; for unbelievers, it is the moment of separation from him.
