All will be Judged by the Word!
"He that rejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word
that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last
day. For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what
I should say,
and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is
life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto
me, so I speak."
John 12:48 - 50
We live in a day like never before, where
human beings belittle the Bible, God’s Holy Word, to the
point of obscurity. For the most part, mankind would give
anything to rid this world of the Word of God. However, as
Christians we know it is the power of God's Word that brings
men to repentance. The faithful preaching of the Word is
what God used to draw you and me to Him. Therefore, if men
can eliminate the Bible, then their reasoning would be they
would not have to face God. You could compare this reasoning
to the ostrich hiding its head in the sand. How naive,
blind, and unknowledgeable mankind is concerning God and His
justice. As we ascertain from history, there has been many
sincere men to try to destroy God's Word with little or no
results in propagating its demise. The Bible plainly teaches
that all Heaven and Earth will pass away, but God's Word
will abide forever. This eternal task of the Word of God is
to purposely be presented to all people, of all nations and
for all times, past, present, and future. Everyone ever
existing will be confronted with the Word of God. There is
not a single action one can take, nowhere to hide, nowhere
to run to escape the penetrating, soul searching, Words of
God. To the believer in Christ, the very Words of God are
consolation, hope, and joy, yet to the unbeliever, they are
quite the opposite. God’s Word spells out the impending
doom, damnation, and torment awaiting anyone rejecting God's
Holy Son, Jesus, as their personal Lord and Saviour. Today,
more than ever, men and women need the Saviour in their
lives; Jesus is their only hope and route of escape of the
judgment of God. Time is running out for the unbeliever. One
day soon, the door of opportunity that God have given to us
as the Day of Grace, will be closing. It is high time for
the Laodicean Church age to wake from its sleep and
propagate the Gospel of Christ, more so now than ever. Is
the Word of God really important to you? Our actions today
will decide that question, and our answer addressed at the
Judgment seat of Christ for the believer. For those that
miss the Bema Seat, the Great White Throne Judgment will be
the destination of the lost. Once again, more than ever,
God's Holy Word will be the judge of us all.
Let us pray:
Holy Father, I praise you for another day. I
praise you for our daily bread, the Word of God. You tell us
in your Word that men shall not live by bread alone, but by
every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. O Lord,
please help our understanding to increase in the Word.
Please help me to grow as the days go by to bring honor and
glory to your name. I love you Lord with all my heart and I
do so want to please you in my actions. Help me, O Lord, to
help others by expounding and explaining what God has done
for me in my life. I do pray for doors of opportunity to be
opened to me today. I praise you Lord, with my whole heart
and rejoice to know you personally. I praise you for my
health today and I pray that you will guide my footsteps
daily. Please give us safety today and watch over me and my
loved ones, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
