Judgment Day Is Coming . . .

Will we enter heaven because we are actually worthy? I am afraid not because Jesus, the One in Whom we place our trust, is worthy! "As we live in God, our love grows more and more perfect. We will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. This degree of love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this indicates that we have not completely experienced his perfect love" (1John 4:17-18 ). On the day of judgment earthly wealth will not matter. Physical beauty will not be a factor. Fame will be forgotten. You might stand next to Caesar or Napoleon, but you will not be asking them about Brutus or Waterloo. On that day all eyes will be focused on Jesus. Those who just ignore Him will hear the words, "Depart from me" (Matthew 25:41). However, for those who accept Him as their Lord and Savior there need be no fear. We can look forward with confidence because we live like Christ here on this earth. Think about that! God views us the way He sees Christ - worthy and accepted. Since you say that you are in Christ, you can view judgment day the way He does with that confidence. Do you think that Christ fear judgment? No, a sinless soul need not> Does He fear death? No, the giver of life would not. So we who are in Christ should not fear judgment or death? Not at all. Judgment Day should be a great day for each of us!
