Thank you for continuing as we finish God’s plan.
GOD WILL JUDGE THE WORLD.
Paul concludes his remarks from the top of MARS hill with these words:
ACTS 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
And how did most of his listeners respond? THEY MOCKED!
Peter writes that in the last days scoffers will come, walking after their own lust, mocking God’s word.
2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Many, many today do not believe they will be judged. They live like there will not be an accounting to a high and holy God. Believer and unbeliever alike.
Through the Scriptures we find several future judgements. Time and space does not allow us to distinguish between them. The attempt is to draw your attention to the fact that YOU will be judged … believer or unbeliever.
Judged for every word, thought and deed:
Matthew 12:34 (Jesus said) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Peter warns that Judgement will begin at the house of the Lord (1 Peter 4:17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Some Scripture to consider:
HEBREWS 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
2 Corinthians 5:10 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.
Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Are you ready to face JUDGEMENT? It’s coming!
