What is Truth? I pondered this question after finishing my book and I thought what is the answer to that aged old question? One answer that you can count on is that Jesus said that He is truth, (John 14:6). This is pretty straightforward and also an answer that Christianity does not quarrel over. The problem is there are so many different versions of ?the truth? you don?t know which one to believe in. The Roman Catholic Church says they are the one true church. The Baptist Church believes that baptism is not necessary for salvation that you are saved before the immersion. Seven Day Adventist holds that Saturday is the day for worship and all of these having their own version of what the truth is. However the question that needs to be answered is, is there a right and a wrong? On that final day when Jesus returns what happens if standing before the throne and He says baptism is required before you can enter into heaven? Suppose God hates the Roman Catholic Church and calls it an abomination? Imagine a person standing before the throne and God tells them that Saturday was the wrong day you idiot. Picture being thrown into the lake of fire for what we see as trivial matters and the Lord says they are not. Will it matter who is right or wrong before the judgment seat of our Lord? To find the answer to this question we turn the pages of the Bible.

1 Pet 4:6 – Do the unsaved dead get a second chance to hear the gospel?

The Judgment Seat of Christ
“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire” (1 Cor. 3:10-15).
