There are two resurrections. You, being redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, will be in it (the 1st one that started when Jesus raised from the dead and is finished before the millinnium reign of Christ), and any sin gets fried, and you will be rewarded for works done rooted in Faith, Hope & Love. The Lord said that what we build on the foundation will be tested and what remains is those works done according to His Word. If one build perishable it will be fried but the person is still saved.
Once you are born again, you have put on Christ Righteousness. Nothing you can do can change that. You are a child of the King.
The 2nd resurrection is for everyone else who wasn't redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. That will be the Great White Throne Judgment. And they will be judged according to their works...

Um, no. Because 10 people fall but 1 person is saved, his death is worth it. Christians (at least the ones I know) aren't really "afraid" of Judgment Day. But it is a little frightening if you think about it. No, because he died doesn't automatically make you guilt-free. He gave you the grace, you have to supply the faith. ("Faith without works is dead") What would be the point of him dying if he didn't need to? That would be a waste of a lot of pain.
Supply the faith; you already have been given the grace. Simple as that.

people should only be afraid of judgement day if they are not saved,being saved we are redeemed by faith and not afraid of judgement day God did not give us a spirit of fear,if you are a christian and you are one of His ambassadors you do not want to sin I am sure if Jesus died for you and you werent saved His death would have been in vain(empty)where you are concerned God loves all His children and want them with Him, because of His death is the only reason we can go to heaven through His death we were given grace

The Bible speaks both of the mercy of God and the judgement of God. They are both present. In the same way, the Bible tells us that the price for our sins was paid by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It also tells us that we are responsible for what we do here on earth.
In 1 Corinthians 3 Pauls writes that we all build on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Our works will be shown for what they are. The wood, hay and chaff will be burnt up. The good we do will survive as one going through the fire. Jesus also provided parables about separating the good from the bad and telling the good that they are blessed by their works.
So you have to have faith, but faith without works isn't the sort of faith that will save you.

Well, Jesus said that he died for your sins. But, you have to work at it. Because, it is our choice to see if we want to go through rpentance , it would probably seem difficult for you to know, but here is the steps of repentance: notice that you have done a Sin, next feel guilt, next confess in your prayers ( only do that when it is gbad or really bad, because we are not perfect). theri is more but I cannot remember. Okay here we go, I looked up something in my bible dictionary( index) It say," the word Atone ment describes the setting ,at one, of those who have been estranged , and denotes the reconciliation of man to God. Sin, is the cause of the estrangetangment, and therefore the purpose of atonement is to correct or overcome the consequeunces of sin. From the time Adam to the death of Jesus Christ . true beleivers made animal sacrifices to the lord(do not sacrifice animal,! please do not sacrifice any animals)These things were symbolic of the forthcoming of the death of Jesus Christ, and were done by faith in him (Moses 5:5-8)One the great ... was , and is , and is to come, in and thriugh the atoning blood of Christ. the Lord Omnipotent. For the Natural man is an enmy to God, ( this part is a percson following the bad things in the world ) and has been from the fall of Adam, and wii be., for ever and ever, unless he yeilds to the enticing of the Holy Spirit and putteh off the natural man and becometh a Saint through the atonemnet of Christ the Lord, and submissive, meek humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." (Mosiah 3: 16-91) This is really long but, I truly beleive in Christ and God that they are real, because of my my fatih not my sight. And to really answer your dquestioin, you are sinning almost every day and just the scripture said that you were going to be saved, but only if you repent. Not like i am going to becaome a serial killer/ Evil person and be saved it takes alot of work to be saved. Sorry for being so long, but please read this I worked really hard. Please :)

Jesus died for the sins of His 'elect' or 'chosen' - those who are saved by His grace and mercy. Those who are afraid of judgment day are the ones who are NOT saved - unbelievers. They are the ones will be judged by God - those who are born again have already been judged because they have salvation through Christ and know Christ as their Savior. The common belief in society today is that you can do what you want, but will still go to heaven. That belief is completely false. In John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5:5, 6 - For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Romans 1:28-32 - And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over toa reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 - Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, mailiciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 - Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 - Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 - Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

He died to redeem you from your sins.
However Jesus said you should quit sinning.
If you die and go to hell, it will not be because God is unjust, but because God is just.
Before you can be admitted into heaven, you must know (have a personal relationship with) God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus answered and said unto him, "unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
Then he explains that you must be born of the Spirit.
So being born again, is being born of the Spirit of God.
Also 1John 3:9 says,
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

You can not just do what you want. You must learn from your mistakes and try to better yourself. As it is written in the Internet Book of Shadows. You can go to the site and search the story of Jesus, Choose from there.
A child asked, "Father, how shall we know what is right, and what is wrong?"
And He replied, "Weigh it by it's fruits. If it gives a bad
fruit, then it is wrong, but if the fruit is good, then eat of it and be happy."
"But Brother, what of a fruit that seems to be good, yet will poison us slowly?" asked another.
And He answered, "If a man die of it, then it is an evil fruit. Look you to the past, see the mistakes therein, and learn therefrom. And
beware those who would lead you into error thru their own need of power over you; leave them to the trap of their own making."
a woman, who had violated the Law of Man, and had been taken for her crime. She said, "But what of me, Lord?
I am to be stoned by the crowd."
And He picked up a stone from the ground, looked at her, and said, simply, "Let he who is without mistakes cast the first stone at you." And He dropped His stone from His hand.
And there was a silence from the crowd, and those with stones in their hands dropped them guiltily to the ground.
And He said to her, "Learn from your error, go in peace, and make error no more."

If you had an uncle who bought you a plane ticket to a place 3000 miles away, does that mean you're already there?
You would have to accept the ticket, get on the plane, etc. Not to mention packing for the trip and stuff.
Jesus died to save you, yes; but if you do not accept that free ticket, how far do you get? Not too far, eh? If your uncle bought you that plane ticket, will you get to your destination no matter what you do? Sisn't think so.
A bit similar situation. But with Jesus, it's even easier: If you accept His "plane ticket," He will take care of a lot of details for you -- like ways that you could unintentionally mess things up for yourself. Once you've made yourself His, He sends you the famous (but highly misunderstood) Holy Spirit, and He (the Spirit) keeps you on the right track and helps you to do the right kind of things and go the right direction with your life.
You still have to live a good life, but He makes it easier (read: possible) for you to do so. You still have to do good things, but He even sets up the good things for you to do, and helps you to do them (as it says in Ephesians 2:10).
But if you do not accept and believe in the One who bought your ticket for you (with His life, to pay the penalty that you owed for the things you've done wrong), you're not gettin' on that plane, you might say.
So, do you have your "ticket" yet?
Better get it.
All you have to do to get started is believe in Him. Since He's really there, you can talk to Him about the details.

No. in order to be saved from judgement you must repent!!! thats the whole point!!! He died so that we will no longer be slaves to sin by our choice and we can ask for forgiveness of our sins and ask for them to be washed with his blood so we may be clean and innocent again and repent! and continue to walk in grace never being spiritually quenched to grow in the spirit so that we may receive true salvation.
We are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory through Adam, because he sinned and passed the curse down to us since we are from him. God sent his only son Jesus Christ to earth to take our form of flesh and blood because no one else could have redeemed us of our sins and he suffered and died on the cross and there was blood shed of the innocent son of God. Three days later he rose from the grave being resurrected by God and in sodoing ensured the immortal bodily resurrection of all: first the righteous to eternal life with God and then the wicked to the lake of fire for their sins and refusing jesus christ as savior. In doing this he annuled Satan's power of death over mankind and now we can be saved from our sins if we choose by Jesus Christ which is the way to God and eternal life.
