The first coming of Jesus was for salvation. The second coming of Jesus will be for judgment and to gather HIS righteous.

Jesus comes to raise the dead in Christ and take them up to gather with HIM in the clouds.

 

I Thessalonians 4

 

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Matthew 25

 

31 When the Son of man shall come in HIS glory, and all the holy angels with HIM, then shall HE sit upon the throne of HIS glory:

33 And HE shall set the sheep on HIS right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on HIS right hand, Come, ye blessed of MY Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

The righteous are those who do God's righteousness for then our righteousness is of God.

 

"Did God tell me to do that?  Did God tell me to say that?"

 

When the Holy Spirit brings a word from God to our mind and we yield to the Holy Spirit and speak that Word and do that Word, then our righteousness is of God for it was God who brought to our mind, by HIS Spirit, that which we should say and that which we should do.

 

Our works will be righteous when we do and say what God brought to us by HIS Spirit.

II Corinthians 5

 

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
