Our Secret Thoughts. God will
also review our secret thoughts and our conscience.

For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the
things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,
in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts,
their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately
accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according
to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ
Jesus. (NKJV) Romans 2:14-16 |
When God is finished reviewing even our casual comments, our conduct,
our secret thoughts, and the voice of our consciences, the unbelieving
man and woman will understand they deserve to go to hell.
Conclusion:John
3:16 and 18 encourages us to believe in Jesus and depend on Him to
forgive us our sins.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal
life . . .He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does
not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (NKJV) John 3:16,
18 |
Those
who do not come to Him have in fact rejected Jesus. God calls each
one of us to come to Him. Those who give up on themselves and start
"leaning" on God will start producing good deeds. That does
not mean Christians are perfect, for even King David asked God to
watch over His lips (Ps. 141:3). Christians will not be judged, for
there is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus (Rom. 8:1).
But this is not true for non-Christians.

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come
to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices
the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested
as having been wrought in God.” (NKJV) John 3:20-21 |
