Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead." (Acts 17:30-31 NASB)
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Romans 2:16 KJV)
Jesus will be the judge of all the living and the dead.
How do we know that it is Jesus, and not someone else? God had prove that Jesus is the appointed Judge by raising Him from the dead.
On what basis will the people be judged? What are the Key Performance Indicators, or KPI? The yardstick used will be the Gospel.
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. (2 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV)
The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. (Nahum 1:3 ESV)
