Adventistische Schriften über: "Whoever does not repent of their guilt and does not accept the atoning sacrifice must bear the penalty of sin themselves – even though Christ has already taken the entire "burden of guilt" upon Himself"

According to Ellen White, a person who does not repent and does not accept Christ's atoning sacrifice will bear the penalty of sin themselves. In the judgment, their unforgiven, unrepented sins will be revealed, their name blotted out of the Book of Life, and the record of their good deeds erased from God's memory, even though Christ has already borne the entire guilt of humanity. This teaching underscores the crucial necessity of genuine repentance and faith in Christ's atonement for eternal salvation.

The Consequence of Non-Repentance

»Jesus will appear as their Advocate to plead before God in their behalf. "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." And: "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." But if any sins remain upon the books of record unrepented of and unforgiven, their names will be blotted out of the book of life, and the record of their good deeds will be erased from the book of God's remembrance. The Lord said to Moses: "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." And the prophet Ezekiel declares: "When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity... all his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned.«
