Chapter X: CONCERNING THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

CONCERNING THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

We believe that there will be a Day of Judgment on which the resurrection of the flesh will take place, when every man will receive from Christ the Judge, according as he has lived in this life: eternal life, if out of true faith and with unfeigned love he has brought works of righteousness which are the fruit of faith; or everlasting fire if he has done either good or evil without faith or with a feigned faith without love.
