LESSON SIXTEEN: Eternal Judgment

We have come now to the last of the six foundational principles in Hebrews 6:1-3--eternal judgment. The word "judgment" is used two ways in the Old Testament. First, it refers to statutes, testimonies, and the Law of God In addition to this, the word is used to describe God's judgment on the affairs of men and nations both in history and at the end of history. The word is used in the New Testament in the latter sense.
