Jesus warns that the words he speaks will judge those who hear them but fail to keep them: If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. (John 12:47–48)
Final judgement culpability for not heeding Christ’s words
