Sinasabi sa Bible ang tungkol sa judgment na igagawad sa mga mananampalataya, o ang “Pag-judge ni Christ”, kung saan ginagantimpalaan ng Diyos ang mga tunay na mananampalataya ayon sa paraan ng pamumuhay nila rito sa daigdig, mabuti man o masama
(10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
