Living in Light of Accountability John 5:28-30
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
The problem with most people is they often live life as if there is no accountability and no final judgment.
Even though there is a delay in the final judgment in our present state; That still does not mean that the judgment day will not happen. When you live your life with no view of Judgment and accountability, you will hide in the darkness for fear that your deeds will be exposed; trying to scheme, lie, cheat, steal, indulge in immorality and pleasures for a season. Then what will you do when God executes His Judgment in the wine press of His wrath and the Scales of judgment are not in your favor and it begins with your life? Will you stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? Or, will you shrink away and depart in shame and fearful expectation of eternal damnation; where all hope is abandoned and there is no turning back, and it is too late to change and repent, and all hope of change and repentance has run dry, and it is too late, only to rise out of the grave to be condemned? Do you hear the call now? Come out of the Darkness, right now! and Trust in Christ for that final day of Judgment!
When you live in light of accountability and knowing that there will be the Judgment seat of Christ, then you are living in the fear of the Lord and you will come out in the light today, and let Christ expose your helplessness to sin and unrighteousness; that you may plead the mercy and forgiveness of Christ in His blood to be delivered from eternal condemnation, death, destruction and torment. Then you will live pleading God’s mercy to keep you on the straight and narrow, in hopes of daily repentance, in hopes of daily sanctification to change today through the power and vivification of the Holy Spirit!
The Spirit of Christ will not let you go; He will pierce your ears to listen to Him today, and will hold you accountable today, that your deeds be exposed and true repentance and accountability be met in you today; leading to a confident stand in the work of God's grace and Sanctification before the Throne of Christ. That you may stand on the day of Judgment and you will enjoy bodily resurrection to live and enter into the Joy of your Master, the joy of your salvation, into perpetual state of the eternal light of the joy of Christ and rise to live unto eternal life forever with Him..
