Quote:
Kept By The Word
We will have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment! Why? Because as we have taken on Jesus and his blood is our covering, God will look at the blood of Jesus on our lives, and mercy will be extended to us.

We must be reading these verses very differently.
1 John 4: 16-18 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we
in this world.
1 John 4:16-18
John seems to be saying here the same thing he said here:
He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk ,
even as he walked .
1 John 2:6
There will be no fear on judgment day for those who are living
in this world like Yeshua.
Paul did not say at the day of judgment Christ will just have mercy because of his blood. Rather he said
THIS in context:
Wherefore
we labour , that, whether present or absent , we may be
accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done , whether it be good or bad.
2 Cor. 5:9-10
On this basis the Apostle Paul then says:
11 Knowing therefore the
terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
2 Cor 5:11
Paul is obviously addressing Christians. Todays Church members dont consider the wisdom of the Apostles words. He said we
LABOR that we might be accepted by Yeshua.
The pop teaching of our day says you need do nothing. Jesus did it all.
