WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED

Isn’t it wonderful to be a Christian and have the promise of eternal life with God in Heaven, a place He has prepared for the faithful (John 14:1-3)? But the sad part is, that not all people are going there, not even all who claim to be Christians. Jesus said, “He that rejected me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath One that judgeth him; the Word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 13:48).

We have all sat in a classroom and been told by the teacher that we are to be tested on what we have been taught in that class, and our passing the grade will depend upon gaining the knowledge and knowing the required material. This is why it is so important that we, who have been taught of God, in return, teach it to others and take heed that we follow it ourselves (Matt. 28:18-20). We are then following Jesus’ example, as He tells us, this is what God sent Him to do when He came to this earth, and it is what He did (John 12:49- 50). Many people will not receive the word of God when they hear it spoken, and will not be saved. It is so important that we obey the Word because God has given it for us to live by, and He will judge each of us by how we have followed it, or lived by it. It is because God loves us so and wants us all to be saved, that He sent His Son into the world to die for us, and wants us to live by the word that He taught (1 Tim. 2:4-7). God wants all people to come to Him and obey his teachings that we might all enjoy the blessedness of heaven and escape the doom of hell.
