Topic: Judgment Day

Text: Revelation 20:11-15

11And 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.

12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Key Verse: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12

Message

Every school has a period of examination and then a prize_x005fgiving day that follows to reward those pupils who performed well during the term. Every pupil would be rewarded according to their performance. Anyone who desires to get a prize at the end of the term must work hard when the term is in session. The same applies in the spiritual. Everyone on earth is a creature of God. One day, we shall all stand before Him to give account of what we have done here on earth.

As we live our lives on Earth, God is watching us and taking record. One day, He will call everyone for the final judgment. The question is, when you stand before God, what will be said about you? What would be in your record? All these would be determined based on how you live your life on earth. Choose to live for God today so that you will stand before Him without fear on the judgment day

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, please help me to live my life with eternity in view.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
