Just Thought I'd Ask
ARE YOU IN IT, OR NOT?
ECCLESIASTES 12:13,14 " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether is be good, or whether it be evil."(KJV)
When it comes down to this, we find that God's wants are again spelled out, Fear God--realize how powerful He is, He allowed us to be born, and He knows the number of days you will live. It matters not how much time the doctor says about your being able to live just a short time, when only God knows that. So we are told to fear God--This means that we should love God--because He gave us life, He was willing to forgive us of our sins, He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to pay the punishment for the sins we have committed, and He saved us.
Since we know that God is all knowing, nothing gets passed Him. Even those things that we think are in secret--he knows--and He sees what is being done.
So God shall bring every work into judgment.
God will bless you for every good work that you do. That is why we should always be mindful that whatever we do, we do for the Glory of God. He is pleased when you do that.
But we must also remember that anything we do that is evil--sin--God hates.
SIN is anything that we do knowing that it is against God--and we do it anyway.
It is an absolute fact that God will not allow sin to go unpunished. Just a single sin can keep a lost person from entering into heaven. Unconfessed sin, unrepented sin, unforgiven sin will cost a lost person to be judged for their own sin--the punishment will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Those who are saved will have their names written down in the "Lambs Book of Life:--eternal in heaven.
The worst punishment is stated in REVELATION "And whosoever was not found in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.: (REV.20:15 KJV)
The Bible speaks about heaven in REVELATION 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it ( Heaven ) anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the "Lamb Book of Life."(KJV)
The " LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE"--are you in it--or not?
