“Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me.” —John 12:44-50

On the last day, each soul will be brought into the presence of God and will see and live in God’s Truth. But it is not God who will judge the soul. The soul judges itself in the light of God’s truth and through the lens of God’s eye.

What soul could pass such scrutiny? In that moment, the soul that cries out to the One God will experience the mercy of Christ. The soul so deserving of just punishment will be pulled from the darkness into the light.
