JUDGEMENT
DAY PART II
3.) Who must
appear before Christ?
1 Peter 4:17-18
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that
obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
2 Corinthians
5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that
every one may receive the things done in his body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Romans 14:11-12
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow
to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Ecclesiastes
3:16-17
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness
was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.I
said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked:
for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
No matter what
belief you have, what religion, what race, what land you come from,
we will all face the only God of the universe, Jesus Christ. As
the scriptures says, every knee will bow to me and every tongue
will confess, no one will be left out on judgment day. In fact the
judgment will begin with the House of God, those who were to be
the example, watch over and feed the flock, and bring the lost in.
This does not leave out the sinners, as He is coming to reward all,
the righteous and the wicked. What reward do you think you might
have?
4.) What are
we judged from?
Daniel 7:9-10
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head
like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his
wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand
times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the
books were opened.
Malachi 3:16
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the
LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written
before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon
his name.
Revelation
20:12,15
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. And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation
3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I
will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Ecclesiastes
12:13-14
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall
bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether
it be good, or whether it be evil.
We need to
be found in the Book of Life! Those are the ones that will spend
eternity with the Father! If we aren't found in this book, we will
be condemned, destroyed! He evens sums it up for us, "Fear
God and Keep His Commandments." Only those that overcome sin,
trials, the world will have this right to eternity, the wicked,
the evildoers will be cast into the lake of fire.
5.) Who will
be condemned and where too?
Matthew 25:31-34
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before
him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And
he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world:
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Romans 1:24-32
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts
of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served
the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their
women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of
their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of
death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
2 Peter 3:7,10
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are
kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men. But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with
a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Malachi 4:1
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and
the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts,
that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Revelation
20:13-15
And 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. And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not
found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
You can see
how simple Christ made it for us to see what not to do, and what
will condemn you to hell, He doesn't want anyone to be condemned,
but He has only one way, His way, the pure and righteous way. It
is what you do now, what kind of life you live, the choices you
make that will save or condemn you. No one will escape Judgment
Day, even the sea, the grave, all who have died will be brought
up to be judged. All evil, demons, those not found in the Book of
Life will be cast into the lake of fire, to be burned up, to be
completely destroyed.
