3. Jesus said we will be judged by the “very word” which he spoke. (John 12:48). “There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.”

4. We are all to be judged according to what we have done as recorded in God’s book. (Rev 20:12) “I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.”
