MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE. 26 / 09 / 2021
THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER
2 CORINTHIANS 5 :10.
FOR ALL OF US MUST APPEAR BEFORE CHRIST, TO BE JUDGED BY HIM. WE WILL EACH RECEIVE WHAT WE DESERVE, ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE, GOOD OR BAD, IN OUR BODILY LIFE.
(GOOD NEWS BIBLE).
It is the truth that the moment anyone believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, God saves him/her.
“The jailer called for a light, rushed in, and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. Then, he led them out and asked, ” Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”. They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your family.” Acts 16 : 29 – 31.
It is also the truth that no one merits being saved for all have sinned “Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.” Romans 5 : 12.
It is, therefore, through grace that we are saved; through the sacrificial love of the Lord and Saviour of mankind, Jesus Christ, for all who accept him and trust him alone as their personal Saviour are saved. “We were God’s enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son.” Romans 5 :10.
However, though we are saved through Jesus Christ, yet we will still be judged as to how we appreciate the grace through our works; through our obedience to God’s injunctions. “So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead.” James 2 : 17.
Thank God, you are now a Christian, but what type of Christian are you ? There are different kinds of Christians : the faithful and the unfaithful — Matthew 25:21; the spiritual and the worldly — 1Cor.3:1; the diligent and the careless — Ephesians 5:15-20.
WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF JESUS CHRIST. 2Corinthians 5:10.
WE WILL ALL RECEIVE REWARDS ACCORDING TO THE KINDS OF CHRISTIANS WE HAVE BEEN, FOR OUR WORKS WILL BE TRIED WITH FIRE. 1 Corinthians 3:13 – 15.
EACH OF US WILL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF: WHETHER WE LIVED FOR GOD’S GLORY; AND WHETHER WE WERE OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY. 1 Corinthians 3:13..
THERE WILL BE NO REPENTANCE AFTER DEATH. IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO MAKE AMENDS. THEREFORE, BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS AND FALL DOCTRINES. 1 John 18-29.
IF YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR; IF YOU ARE STILL TRUSTING IN FAKE APOSTLES, PROPHETS, AND RELIGIONS, THEN YOU ARE LIVING A MOST MISERABLE LIFE: ONLY JESUS CHRIST HAS THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE BLISSFUL EVERLASTING LIFE AND HAS THE POWER TO CONDEMN THE FINALLY UNREPENTANT TO EVERLASTING DAMNATION IN HELL. JESUS CHRIST IS THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER. ” Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge, so that all will honour the Son in the same way as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.” John 5 22 – 23.
If death comes for you today, will you be in Paradise with God’s family or languish forever in satanic kingdom of hell fire ?
Where will I be if death comes for me today ?
The choice is yours and I have a choice, too : we are either for Jesus Christ or against Him.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER AND HE WILL REWARD US AS WE DESERVE.
LORD, DELIVER ME FROM GLITTERS THAT LEAD TO HELL, IN JESUS CHRIST’S NAME.
AMEN.
