2 Corinthians 5:6-10
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
LIFE- Living: This is not a dress rehearsal, our lives it’s the real thing, right now, right here. As we go through the minutes and seconds of our lives we are gathering up incidents and acts that will be reflected not only in this life here and now, but more important, for our future and permanent home, the Kingdom of the Lord…Heaven.
We are accountable for all of the seconds in which we are breathing here on Earth. When we stand before God, we will be judged to what the LORD gave us as opportunities according to our mind, body and purpose. God has invested in us as individuals, each one held accountable for what gifts He has given us. We all have a different purpose according to our minds, our circumstances, and what we are capable of. But, each one of us no matter what gifts the LORD has given expects us to deliver on those gifts, and do according to His purpose…and so we are accountable in how we live our opportunities and the relationships we have, and how we live out our seconds here on life.
Are you living out your life according to His purpose? Are you living your life according to the opportunities God has given you? Are you living your life according to God’s commandments? Reflect on that for a moment? Are you?
If we violate the will of God and hurt others or do things not favorable in God’s sight, and we will be judged accordingly. Whether we are welcomed home for eternity? Are you living a life that will be pleasing to God when we stand before Him? No one is perfect…but He knows our hearts and weaknesses, and how we go forth each day is not lost on Him…there is and will be an account of our lives.
How do we do it?
First—We accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Ask for forgiveness of your sins and accept Him in your heart as your Lord and Savior.
Second— we look at how we are living our life, what are we doing to apply the gifts the LORD has given us. For example…How do we give of our resources, and in what way do we honor Him?
Third– think about what is Pleasing to our LORD. Before you make any decision, think about where is the LORD in your priorities? Because all decisions have repercussions, whether good or bad. There is a rippling affect.
Fourth–How do we start the day? Thank Him. Give Him Glory. Trust Him and lean not on your own understanding, and He will direct your path. Be not wise in your own eyes, love the LORD, keep from evil, and it will be health to your navel and marrow to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-6
How we live out our life is how God will judge us, and how we will be rewarded.
God is a loving forgiving and compassionate Being, who loves us more than we can ever comprehend, after all He sent His only begotten Son for our sins, to save us and to live with Him forever after our lives are over.
Accountability for our actions and how we live.
Ask yourself this, “Am I living a life that is worthy of the LORD and am I ready to stand before Him at judgment day?” And, if not, why not?
“Father God, I believe in You and trust You with all of my heart and soul, please continue to guide my path in all that I do, may I bring You joy and honor every second of my life, in Jesus name, Amen.”
