Hi there,

Well, I'm not sure you are asking this because you already know, or because you *want* to know the answer...

But logically, if our works did not save us, and we are saved by the blood of Christ, and we are truly saved, then our sins won't send us to hell if we die. There are some out there that believe that when we get saved, we are sanctified wholly, and thus it is impossible to sin, or the sin nature is eradicated. That's not true of course. We do sin, and even before salvation if we break one point of the law we break them all because the same One who wrote one law wrote them all. So after we are saved, one sin is not greater than another when we are talking about committing a sin. The natural consequences of course are varied, and our deeds will be judged by the Lord, but it won't make us lose salvation.

Your question of "do just and righteous christians go to hell when they sin?" There is no such thing really is there? Our justification and righteousness are "imputed" to us. It is not ours. Jesus *gives* us, or imputes it to us when we are saved. It is all His work and none of ours. So every person who is truly saved is justified and righteous because it has been imputed to them.
