John 5:24-30New King James Version (NKJV)Life and Judgment Are Through the Son24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. People, there is judgement. Don't act like a judge in your life. As believers of Jesus Christ we believe that one day He will come again and judge, for the unbelievers their sins and for the believers their works. It says in v28 "Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming." Are you still confused? Being confused of this world?I heard a preaching saying that we people will always justify our lifestyles. As believers and followers of Jesus Christ we have to make sure that our lifestyles actually match our belief. We should have a life reflecting the values of the bible. We should have a life where in people can see Jesus in us. But what if as believers our lifestyle doesn't match our belief? There are two ways we can actually solve this. 1. You will change your lifestyle to match your belief. Surrender fully to God and turn away from your old life. 2 Corinthians 5:17New King James Version (NKJV)17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. This is the way it should be. We turn away from our old self and be new person for God. We can not believe a holy, just and faithful God and live our life the other way around. Sadly, most people will do the second choice. 2. You will change your belief to justify and fit your lifestyle. People will most of the time leave the church because they can not do what they previously enjoy doing or they will quit out of shame for still doing the same old habits on mondays to saturdays and worship God on sundays. Sometimes they will find a religion that can actually justify the desires of their flesh claiming that they are not doing anything wrong this religion says its ok. There are some christian churches also nowadays that are hypergrace churches wherein grace is misused as an excuse for us to sin thinking ahead of God that they can sin and do this they will still be forgiven. Friends, life is not a game. We should not play on life. It's either you will really surrender to God's will for you or you be the captain of your own ship. You choose but there is judgement at the end. Think about it. Would you be that someone who will only experience this heaven on earth enjoying the world and at the end of life be in hell for eternity. Or, would you rather be a person that only experience this world as a temporary refelction and small percentage of hell and enjoys heaven for eternity? Who will you be? Matthew 6:24New King James Version (NKJV)24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. |
