There
is a Judgment Day to which we are all headed.
Hebrews 9:27 says, “And it is appointed for men to die once, but
after this the judgment.” Our
appointment for the Day of Judgment cannot be cancelled.
The Day of Judgment is certain, inevitable, and no way to escape it.
“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).
There is nothing hidden from the Lord.
He knows everything about us. “For
God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing,
whether good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:14).
Judgment Day is certain. The
day has already been appointed. Acts
17:31 says, “Because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the
world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained”.
Every person who has ever lived will be there.
No one will be overlooked or left out.
Judgment is certain. “All
the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats” (Matthew 25:32).
We today will be judged by the words of the New Testament.
Jesus says, “the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last
day” (John 12:48).
The Day of Judgment will come with many surprises.
It will be a shock for the majority of people.
Jesus says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many
wonders in Your name? And then I
will declare to them, I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice
lawlessness” (Matthew 7:22-23). “I
never knew you, depart from Me” will be the worse thing that will ever be
said to an individual. “Well
done…enter into the joy of your Lord” (Matthew 25:31) will be the
greatest thing one will ever hear. Which
one do you want to hear? Our
number priority in this life must be to prepare to stand before the Lord in
judgment, because we will. Are
you ready for Judgment Day to come?
