Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Saviour and we are born again, we will not face the Great White Throne judgement, but we will face Jesus Christ on the Judgement seat.
This judgement is where we will answer for our lives. We will be judged according to our deeds. We will not go to hell, but we will be rewarded according to what we did on earth.
And this also means that we may miss out on rewards because we did nothing with the new creation we were granted through the indwelling of Jesus Christ in us.
It is therefore really important for us to take Jesus into our lives and to do His will and not our will.
Our sins of which we have repented are forgiven, but we will still give the account of our lives.
The GOD we serve is Holy and Righteous and HE cannot be in the presence of sin. So Jesus died in our place and was punished on that Cross for our sins. But that does not mean we are free to do what we want. We are now slaves in Christ.
And as often stated on this forum, true born again Christianity must look like something. We must no longer keep company with liars, slanderers, blasphemers, coveters, and people who wish to drag us into this world. We need to be about our FATHER's business and that is the business of spreading the Gospel and bringing the good news to people who can be saved.
GOD does not wish that any should perish. But that all should come to HIM. That is the job of the born again believer. And therefore we need to lead by example.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, today I pray that YOU make me a new creation which reflects YOUR wondrous ways on this earth. Help me to shine YOUR light in this dark place today. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
