“For we must all appear and be
revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may
receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or
evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has
achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to
accomplishing].” II Cor. 5:10 AMP
I must realize that the only record of my
life that exists is the one I write, myself.
Once I realized that, I see what the
judgment seat of Christ Jesus is-----it is only a playback. It is there I receive “the things done in
this body”……my earthly life, not simply the reward of those things.
I will meet actions again, like a re-run
movie. But this time I will see them
from God’s standpoint, how they were recorded in His eyes and ears…….He will
reveal all my hidden motives behind some things I have said and done.
There will be no addition to or subtraction
from what I ‘was’ and ‘did’.
The books of God (Mal. 3:16) are nothing
more than His retrieval system. God
sees, hears and remembers everything.
That is why repentance is important and should be done immediately
instead of trying to justify my selfishly actions or words.
Judgment Day will be my “rereading” day and
God will show me the daily pages written with my own life. This brings into reality a sense of heaven
and hell, my choice depending upon my decisions, actions, motives and
desires. Good or bad…they will be
recorded and played back for my viewing.
I will answer for all I have done upon this earth. Every careless word, jealous action and
choices that were selfish and self-centered, as well as all the good I have
done and sacrifices I have made for God’s Kingdom.
My destiny is not decided later, in
eternity, but now while I live on this earth.
My destiny is only the echo of my present decision.
Not only, the destiny itself, but the
quality of that destiny is decided here, whether stubble or precious stones (I
Cor. 3:12).
Wow…..what a responsibility! Only one walk through life and yet an
eternity depending upon it.
How grateful I am for my precious friend,
Jesus, who first removed my sins by His sacrifice at Calvary and Who sent me a
Helper, Holy Spirit. He walks with me
and guides me and wants to help me write the story of my life, which one day I
hope will cause Jesus to smile. He longs
to be able to say to me and you, “Well done….faithful servant; enter……..the joy
of thy lord.” Matt. 25:21 KJV
“You
therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also
fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the
wicked…” II Peter 3:17 NKJV
