@pettytalk saidRevelation 20:15
"And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done."
Where is the book of grace? If it exists, will it be opened after the books used to judge people for their works (what they had done)?
And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

@kellyjay saidWhy waste all that writing and reading to judge people for their works only to grace (pardon) them?
Then another book was opened, which is the book of life.
And what about the second and final judgment of those whose names were written in the book of life, and were not thrown in the oven of hell? Will there be a second edition of the book of grace?

@pettytalk saidGrace is a gift of unmerited kindness, redemption, and love that God gives the undeserved. The judgment for the redeemed is not for right standing with God, but for the work done with our lives while redeemed.

Our works in Christ will be judged by 🔥 fire, they may be destroyed or remain, but the salvation was settled by Jesus Christ if it depended upon our works that would make it about merit not grace through faith.

The question assumes there is "time" in eternity. I'm not certain there is. Also, the Bible nowhere clearly states that people "go to heaven", as they say. I DO see where Christ returns for us though.
