I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:9-10) I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me]. (John 10:14) He will never reject anyone who turns to Him for mercy. Nor will He force Himself on anyone who chooses to live without Him. For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God [who alone is judge]
For it is written [in Scripture], “AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:10-12)
But of that [exact] day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son [in His humanity], but the Father alone. (Mark 13:32)
For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad [that is, each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives—the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities] (2Corinthians 5:10) Those who fear the Lord do not have to fear the final judgment. They know God as their loving Saviour. Living in harmony with God's righteous standards, in awe of His holiness and honoring Him with all your heart worshipping Him who created the heaven and the earth, the sea and the springs of water.
(Revelation 14:7) Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness. ,
Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.
Let Your [steadfast] lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
In proportion as we have hoped in You. (Psalm 33:18,21-22)
