I urge us to live in light of the coming judgment , NOT IN TERROR, but soberly and methodically.
“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.”
Revelation 20:12 ESV
Amazingly, it is not necessary to be afraid of this day.
“By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.”
1 John 4:17 ESV
A nice clue is given to us about to how to plan ahead for the judgment.
“Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.”
1 Corinthians 3:12-14 ESV
His commands are not always easy, but they are often pretty simple to understand. “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13 ESV
If we seek him first, if we do what he has called us to do, if we enjoy fun things as gifts from him, we probably don’t need to be scared of Judgment Day.
