I. The Particular Judgment
1021
Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or
rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ.590 The New Testament
speaks of judgment primarily in its aspect of the final encounter with Christ
in his second coming, but also repeatedly affirms that each will be rewarded
immediately after death in accordance with his works and faith. the parable of
the poor man Lazarus and the words of Christ on the cross to the good thief, as
well as other New Testament texts speak of a final destiny of the soul -a
destiny which can be different for some and for others.591
