| "Fot the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" 1Peter 4:17 "Fot the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God." Believers are going to appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Paul wrote, "For we must all appear before the judgment 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" (2Corinthians 5:10). "We" ~ Paul is talking about Christians. "That every one may receive the things done in his body" ~ That is, the things done while you were lving down here. "According to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad" ~ We all must come before Christ's judgment seat! Peter continues, "If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" Christ has paid the penalty for our sins, but suppose that we have lived a life that has not brought glory to Him? My sisters and brothers, WE ARE TO BE JUDGED! And if God is going to judge His own, what about the lost world which would not hear or obey the gospel of God? Think about this in all you do and with everyone you encounter. God Bless you as you walk "Christ"-minded today! <J><E><S><U><S>< <S><A><V><E><S>< |
