God’s Judgment

 Are you ready for God’s judgment? It may surprise you, but God’s judgment isn’t reserved only for evil people. Listen to Psalm 50:4-5.

He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
“Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”

You may say this is just Old Testament judgment. This doesn’t apply to Christians. Well, think again.  Are Christians not God’s people? Are not Christians His faithful ones? Listen to 2 Corinthians 5:10. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” Think of Jesus’ parables about servants who received money when their Master left for a while. When He returned some received rewards and some punishment.

Peter also warned us in 1 Peter 4:17. “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

Why will a Christian or a church receive a negative judgment? When Christians sin, we lose rewards that we would have received had we not succumbed to temptation. We also reap the consequences of worldly living in this lifetime. This also applies to Churches. Look at how many have disappeared when they supported immorality and heresies. The message for Christians who are messing around is to repent.

The good news is that Jesus has already taken the eternal punishment for our sins on himself when we turn to him for salvation. If you are one who has never obeyed the gospel of God, you can turn around and follow Jesus. It’s never too late. Watch my video on the Gospel on YouTube or read on this Gospel link.
