8thdaypriest Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." (NKJ) QUESTION When Jesus said "shall NOT come into judgment", was He speaking only of the execution of judgment upon the wicked? Was He also speaking of the examination of records of deeds, so as to make a judgment concerning individuals? Quote 8thdaypriest
JoeMo Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 This and many other passages imply that he who BELIEVES will be saved - not he who BEHAVES. 8thdaypriest 1 Quote
pnattmbtc Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 If you look at other translations, they will often use the expressions "under judgment" or "under condemnation", which I think fits the context. DreamWeaver and 8thdaypriest 2 Quote Christ exalted the character of God, attributing to him the praise, and giving to him the credit, of the whole purpose of his own mission on earth,--to set men right through the revelation of God.

But "we must all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ" 2Cor 5:10 Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
