Are we all aware that everyone, no matter who you are or what you believe, will kneel in front of our Creator on the Day of Judgement and we will All be judged?
Ecclesiastes 11:9 "Rejoice, O young man in they youth, and let the heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement" This day, not one person will believe in the theory of evolution, and everyone will confess that God is exactly who he said he is, The Creator of all things.
In the following scriptures take notice to the specific wording used and the deliberate use of the word 'All'.
In Romans 14:10 "We shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ" and as seen in Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad"
We will all have to give an account for our actions throughout this life Romans 14:12 "So then every one of us will give account of himself to God" and Matthew 12:36 "Every idle work that man shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement" This is very clear in its meaning that we all will be judged on this day, not only a select few.
In that Great Day of Judgement, nothing will remain hidden from view Luke 12:3"For there is nothing covered that won't be revealed." Again scripture leaves no room for interpretation here. No ones sins will remain hidden on this day and any and all secrets will be revealed.
Matthew 25:31 Jesus warns us that the throne judgement is comparable to God separating the sheep from the goats. We should be feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty and giving hope and Gods message to the spiritually lost. True believers will put Gods words into action. We will be judged for not necessarily what was done wrong but what wasn't done at all. Loving and caring for our fellow brother and sister should be understood as one of Gods expectations of us and should be practiced daily.
Luke 18 says that God is the judge, The Word of God is what will judge us seen in John 12:48 and all judgement is given to the Son seen in John 5:22. That is excellent news!
One common error that is made when we talk of Judgement and Jesus is that true believers are not to judge others. That is 100% correct. However it is missing the last and very important part of the meaning in that sentence. We are not to judge others ....OUTSIDE of Gods standards. We are not to judge by our own standards of right and wrong but make no mistake, God has set a very specific set of standards we are to live by. Do not forget that we are to care for and be our brothers keeper when it comes to the truth of Gods message and keeping others from straying or false information. To simply share with someone the truth as stated in scripture is not judging at all-It is a kind thing to share the truth with someone especially when the stakes are as high as they are and God expects it! Make sure however. that you yourself, are not being a hypocrite before you give Gods advice in certain areas. We are all sinners and should be helping each other not pointing fingers and condemning. That serves no purpose other than to increase more hostility and division.
Here is the really great news!!!
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your saviour then your name was written in the Book of Life the very instant you accepted Christ!! Philippians 4:3"And I intreat thee also, true yolk-fellow, help those women which labourer with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life" This means that Jesus has paid for. your sins with his sacrifice A very important thing to note is that this does not guarantee that your name is permanently there or that we can continue in sin. One would do well to know that names can be blotted out of the book of life as well. Revelation 3:5"I will not blot their names out" showing in plain language that blotting out is an option and in Psalms 69:28 "Let them be blotted out of book of living"
In knowing that everyone will be at the judgement and will have to answer for all their actions as nothing will remain secret or hidden, will this change the way you do things?
My belief : In todays day and age with everything that is happening in the world, if you dont believe in God --you wager too much my friend xo God Bless
