Time Is Running Out
The events in the world at current, and the signs according to prophecy*, are indicators that the grace dispensation in God's timetable is soon to end. The next dispensation, after grace, will be one of tribulation and wrath. Time is running out, and if you have not yet heard and responded to the Gospel of Grace, you are still unredeemed, unsaved and will have no hope when you stand before your God. I encourage you to read through the linked posts below and respond to the good news that can save you.
When an unredeemed person dies, there is NO MORE hope for them! The next time they will live is when they are resurrected to face judgement. This resurrection unto death (or the SECOND resurrection) will occur at the end of the 1000-yr Millennial Kingdom, where all unredeemed people will be found guilty at the Great White Throne judgment (Rev.20:11-15).
At this judgment, Jesus Christ will judge all who have rejected Him and His salvation.
This massive judgment involves every unredeemed person throughout all of history. Every person who rejected the gospel, the good news of the salvation of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, will need to stand before God, and give an account of themselves and what they has done to deserve being spared from God's wrath. At this time it will not matter what (or how much) good works they has done, as NOTHING will ever measure up to the standard of righteousness that God requires for acquittal. No work or deed will be good enough as it will be tainted with the sin nature of that person. (Isa.64:6)
So, there remains only two things to answer based on the above.
One; if the above is the 2nd resurrection, what is the 1st
resurrection all about?
Two; how can I be saved and escape the judgement of the second resurrection?
Regarding the first resurrection; to get all the information you need, read these posts regarding the topic:
- Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection
Regarding how to be saved from the judgement at the Great White Throne; you must realize firstly that there is nothing you can do to save yourself. The only requirement to be saved is to believe that Jesus Christ, God's Son, did all that can be done already for you. Jesus Christ paid the sin price FOR YOU, dying in your place, taking upon Himself all your guilt and your sins, burying it [us] in His death, exchanging His guiltless, sinless life for yours, so that by the power of His resurrected life you can be regenerated, made a new creature, which is completely justified and made to stand perfected before God, clothed in His righteousness and made fully acceptable to God, an adopted son, utterly loved and completely forgiven.
The ONLY thing you can do, is believe in what Jesus Christ did for you. That is the gospel of grace, and that has the power to save you today. (Rom.1:16; 1 Cor.15:1-4)
For more details regarding salvation, read the following posts:

- So then, what is the gospel for us today?
To Conclude:
The world is showing signs of the end, according to prophecies in the Bible*. Time is running out! As the scriptures say, "...now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor.6:2). Take heed of the advice in this post. Read the content regarding salvation. There is no better time than now to come into a relationship with your Creator, while He is still offering you His grace.
* Matt.24:3-31; Lk.21:7-11; 2 Tim.3:1-17; Rev.5:1 - Rev.22:21
