Judgment Is Coming

"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." (Romans 14:12)

There is only one thing that is absolutely sure to happen to every person--everyone will have to face God some day. Not even "death and taxes" are certain for every one, but meeting God for an accounting of one's life is certain!

Therefore, as the prophet Amos warned some 2,500 years ago: "Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel" (Amos 4:12). "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

To the Christian believer, of course, there is no need to fear hell, for there is "now no condemnation |that is, 'judgment'| to them which are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). The Lord Jesus has paid for our sins and purchased our redemption with His shed blood. He "was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25).

Nevertheless, we as Christians still "must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:10), where "the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide . . . he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).

Those who die in unbelief, however, not having trusted Christ as their Savior, will face a different meeting with God. The apostle John describes the awesome scene as he saw it in his prophecy. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works" (Revelation 20:12). But no one can ever be saved by his works (Ephesians 2:9). Therefore, "whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15). HMM

When I add something to my life, I try to remove something else

There is a principle I try to live by: When I add something to my life, I try to remove something else. Take my closet for example. Whenever I add a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes, I should try to get rid of something I no longer use. As I’m trying to find space for my Christmas gifts, I am reminded of this idea once again. What am I willing to give up to make space for the new things I have? This discipline forces me to think about the “stuff” in my life, and keeps me from being overrun. It’s a great principle when I work it. Yet, I often find myself justifying both what I add AND and what I keep. If only I could live by this rule in every area of my life! When I take on a new project, I get rid of an old one. When I start a new book, I give an old away. When I add a new activity, I take one off my schedule. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Or not… How many times do we find ourselves adding and adding and adding, without ever even considering subtracting. I mean the things we do (and have, and enjoy) are just too important to give up! Yet, this may be the very reason we are stressed, distressed, and lose our focus. What if we applied this to our ministries? Or our churches? What if every time we added a program, we found one to let go of? Oh–we could never do that! Or could we? There are seasons for everything, and if we are honest with ourselves, we can probably find at least one program, event, curriculum, ministry or tradition that is past its prime and ready to be phased out. Following this “rule,” if you will, can bring balance. It can even out our crazy schedules and declutter our lives and calendars. It may force you to ask tough questions and make some tough decisions, but the results will be so worth it. What challenges do you see in adopting this rule in your church? In your personal life?
