That Great Getting Up Morning

Revelations 20:12 " 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."

One day, rather we like it or not, believe it or not, or are ready or not, we will stand before God. We will stand in the truth of God's word and the truth behind all that we ever did. Not the truth as to what we want it to be, or the truth based on what we were taught, or even the truth as we believe, but the truth that is the word of God. It is in and with these truths that all of our works will be judged as we stand.

Jesus said not all who say Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom, but only them that do the will of the Father. See there is more to salvation than simply saying you believe. The Devil believe and he trembles, so your belief should at least bring about a lifestyle change. Faith without works is dead. The fact that you believe should bring about an action in your life. The word says he saw the dead small and great stand before God. So no matter how big you think you are or how little others make you feel, you will still stand before God and be judged by the thing written in the books. God gave us an advocate, one to stand with us as we come before Him. God in His love for man, gave us His grace and mercy in the form of Jesus to stand with us that we might be found not guilty.

We can never be good enough to stand before God in righteousness. So God sent His Son to die that in accepting Him in faith, we are made the righteousness of God, and allows us to stand before Him and be found not guilty. He is the attorney for the defense who will be standing with all that are His as we stand before God. Have you made Him your choice, judgment day is coming, that great getting up morning....
