So many will be SO surprised in Heaven at who actually gets rewarded and who gets punished. God sees ALL.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
There are those who say one thing but mean another. God looks upon what men think in their heart, their motive or agenda. Wherever we put our focus, that is where our heart steers.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

God's love and goodness gave us justification and righteousness, believers had already been judged to justified and righteous. Our errors do not yield rewards, there is no inheritance for error. There are rewards and continued inheritance for doing the right thing, keeping his commandments

While I agree that we are justified, having been made the very righteousness of The Lord, Christians will still be judged. We are human and The Bible says that of every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account in the day of judgment. No one is exempted, even by The Blood. While our guilt of sin is gone, we are still responsible to live by the things we know and to learn more today. We are on our way to the top of His Holy Mountain to see His Face and it gets steeper towards the top. We need to help each other or there will be NO progress. The more we learn about God the more we find that we know NOTHING, compared to what we have yet to learn. Judgment is coming to this earth and it will come first to His Body.

Well, Aimiel, I think you and I agree sufficiently.
thanks for viewing and posting on this thread.
I said
I was wondering where you lost it, the truth that is. Now I know. If your guilt of sin is gone, you have lost your fear of God.
I Jn 1:8-10
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

We dont know where thoughts come from. But the Holy Spirit does, and He is given to us to warn us when the devil is in our minds trying to deceive us with deceptive words. The Holy Spirit is our guaranteed message from God and He only quotes verses. Now He will only quote new testament verses until you are strong enough to handle going back into the old testament. The Holy Spirit searches the hearts of all spirits. But if we dont have enough verses written in our conscience(book of beliefs) so that He can pick out the best one, He will use the ones He has. Dont be deceived even if you get a part of a verse go look it up so you dont miss the principle. Every verse is a spiritual principle just like our alphabet the verses are the Holy Spirits alphabet. The Holy Spirit knows what the intents are of other spirits, and He will warn us with a verse.
