From John Collins Ministries:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has
done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV).
It is time for a serious reality check for every single
person living on earth at this time: You are going to die an earthly death and
will have to face the righteous judgment of God. You may think you know what
that means, you may not care but let me fill in the blanks for so many….whether
you choose to believe in God or not, whether you find God fair or not, whether
you agree with God or not, whether you end up dismissing God or not, whether
you reject God or not and whether you end up getting as angry at God as you
want and as defiant toward God as you want and you can ignore Him, disobey Him
and reject His Son but in the end, ALL will come before the judgment seat of
Christ and ALL will face the righteous judgment of God, whether you want to or
not and whether you believe it or not.
Heaven is NOT a given. Heaven is NOT guaranteed. Heaven is a
reward of the salvation that you claim when you choose Jesus and obedience over
your worldly life and yourself. People are so selfish and self-involved and so
full of self-importance that they just can’t seem to work out their salvation
with fear and trembling because they have lost their capacity for reverence and
most have never bothered to develop it for God in the first place but have
transferred that delight and wonder and awe for the material things of this
world and for the prestige that can come with it.
Everyone wants to talk about how God is love and just ignore
the truth that God is wrath as well. Remember that God is complete, God is
divine and God is the Creator of all and is without flaws. Judgment happens in
a moment and is irreversible and it is forever. Why take any chances with your
eternal soul when today allows you call on Jesus and to obey the Lord. Do not
be lazy in your faith. Get right with God.
“For it is written: ‘As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.’ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.”
Romans 14:11-12 (NKJV).
