Accountable to God
Have you ever wondered.......Once you're saved, Are you accountable to God for your actions ? And what does God require of You ?
Read Romans 14:10 -12 and Mathew 5:13- 16 and 1 Corinthians 9 :16
Romans reminds us that it doesn't matter what people on earth think about us.It's God who matters. One day each of us will stand alone before the judgement seat of Christ. God sees our heart. He knows our thoughts . He watches every move we make.
When we know Christ we don"t have to fear him or the judgement OUr eternity is secure. But we still have to be accountable to him for our choices. Some day we will stand before him and answer for our decisions.
Sometimes it is hard to hold ourselves to God's standards. Good friends can hold each other accountable. A close friend can ask how you're responding to a particular temptation that always seems to break you. A fellow believer can help you live up to God's standards. Remember , ultimately you're accountable only to him....... but in the meantime , we can help each other.
Proverbs 15 :11......Death and Destruction lie open before the Lord--- how much more the hearts of men.
In other words the Lord knows what is happening in the world of the dead, so he surely knows the thoughts of the living.
