The Bible teaches two eternal judgments, one for unbelievers and one for believers. All believers will enter into new life because of their faith in Christ. All unbelievers will fail the judgment of their faith in Christ since their names are not written in the Book of Life.
Scripture repeatedly states that all will be judged for their works.
Scripture teaches with unmistakable clarity that all believers in Christ will give an account of their lives to their Lord. We will be judged by Him according to our works, both good and bad. The result of this will be the gain or loss of eternal rewards.
Scripture presents it as a monumental event in which things of eternal significance are brought to light and things of eternal consequence are put into effect.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of[a]witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us - Hebrews 12:1
God wants us to have eternal rewards - and He has given us every resource in Christ to live the godly life that will result in those eternal rewards.
