judgment the final - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Judgment, The final
  the sentence that will be passed on our actions at the last day
  (Matt. 25; Rom. 14:10, 11; 2 Cor. 5:10; 2 Thess. 1:7-10).
  
    The judge is Jesus Christ, as mediator. All judgment is
  committed to him (Acts 17:31; John 5:22, 27; Rev. 1:7). "It
  pertains to him as mediator to complete and publicly manifest
  the salvation of his people and the overthrow of his enemies,
  together with the glorious righteousness of his work in both
  respects."
  
    The persons to be judged are, (1) the whole race of Adam
  without a single exception (Matt. 25:31-46; 1 Cor. 15:51, 52;
  Rev. 20:11-15); and (2) the fallen angels (2 Pet. 2:4; Jude
  1:6).
  
    The rule of judgment is the standard of God's law as revealed
  to men, the heathen by the law as written on their hearts (Luke
  12:47,48; Rom. 2:12-16); the Jew who "sinned in the law shall be
  judged by the law" (Rom. 2:12); the Christian enjoying the light
  of revelation, by the will of God as made known to him (Matt.
  11:20-24; John 3:19). Then the secrets of all hearts will be
  brought to light (1 Cor. 4:5; Luke 8:17; 12:2,3) to vindicate
  the justice of the sentence pronounced.
  
    The time of the judgment will be after the resurrection (Heb.
  9:27; Acts 17:31).
  
    As the Scriptures represent the final judgment "as certain
  [Eccl. 11:9], universal [2 Cor. 5:10], righteous [Rom. 2:5],
  decisive [1 Cor. 15:52], and eternal as to its consequences
  [Heb. 6:2], let us be concerned for the welfare of our immortal
  interests, flee to the refuge set before us, improve our
  precious time, depend on the merits of the Redeemer, and adhere
  to the dictates of the divine word, that we may be found of him
  in peace."
