15. What does it mean that returning ones will be “judged out of those things written in the scrolls”?

¹⁵ How will returning ones be “judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds”? These scrolls are not the record of their past deeds; when they died, they were acquitted of the sins they committed during their lifetime. (Romans 6:7, 23) However, resurrected humans will still be under Adamic sin. It must be, then, that these scrolls will set forth divine instructions that all must follow in order to benefit fully from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

13. What vision of the resurrection is recorded at Revelation 20:12-14?
