St. John 5:16-30: "Indeed, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. The Father judges no one but has given all judgement to the Son, so that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father".
"Christ is the Lord of eternal life. The Father has given "all judgement to the Son". Yet the Son did not come to judge, but to save and to give the life he has in himself. By rejecting grace in this life, one already judges oneself, receives according to his works, and can even condemn oneself for all eternity by rejecting the Spirit of love" (CCC#679).
