When do unbelievers receive their just recompense?
Unbelievers, referred to as the lost, do not receive their just recompense until the end of their time. Scripture indicates this judgment is delayed until that final point, just as believers will not receive their reward until the end of time.
Les explains that the lost are not going to receive their just recompense until the end of their time. He connects this delay to the same principle that believers will never receive their reward until at the end of time. He asks why this is so, pointing out that as believers go through this life they are making impacts on people all around them. The context is Paul's instruction to judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, since no one can judge Paul except the Lord who sent him.
