A scale demonstrating that all our good works are nothing compared to faith in Christ
English Translation
Top banner: The Bible declares the judgment
Top on the right and left sides: Abandoning the Lord and relying on oneself leads to eternal punishment
Middle on the right and left sides: Jesus is appointed by God to be the judge of the living and the dead.
Bottom right corner: The Dead, great and small, stood before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. Whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Rev. 20:12, Mk 4:22)
Bottom left corner: Now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. No one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. Now, however, we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (2 Co 6:2, Ro 3: 20, 24)
On the open Bible: There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. (Jn 12:48)
Around the scale: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Weights on the right: building temples, bringing in gods, holding fairs, burning incense, going on a vegetarian diet, freeing animals, lighting candles, reciting Buddhist scriptures, avoiding killing.
Weight on the left: Rely on the Lord alone.
Picture on the bottom: Account Book.
