Judgment Day (Romans 2:5-11)

"But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who "will render to each one according to his deeds": 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God."

In this passage or Romans, Paul makes very clear that God's judgment on mankind is fair. Whether you are a good person (one who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and is likewise living the life of a believer), or a stubborn person (one who has rejected Christ and is living for himself), God will judge everyone. Paul also makes clear that just because you are a Jew or a Gentile (someone from a different nation), God will judge eah one according to his deeds. And James says that faith without works is dead. Therefore, Christians are called to live a life worthy of their calling because all will be judged in the final day.
