Are you ready for the day of judgment?
2 Peter 3:7) 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
the day of judgment - Why is the day of judgment a topic that many times is not heeded nor taken seriously? Why do people choose to stay in the dark about the day of judgment? Ignorance, people choose to look at what is convenient for them. They don’t want to face reality. My people, my fellow Christians, this is no time to be ignorant, in the dark, and unknowing of the truth. Psalm 119:105) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path)) This is key. What is a person without the word of God? Stumbling in the darkness and looking for his way and what a helpless condition he is in! Many people claim God and to know him, and to be following him, but are they really? “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord” and do not keep my word. Psalms 119:101) I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word)) And yet this lesson is one that is seldom taught and almost abandoned in today’s fast paced world where salvation seems to be something easily declared, yet hardly shown.
Being a Christian is not just putting on a name or a label, but should be manifest in action and behavior. Avoiding sin is critical, and a huge step to living a life pleasing God, but sadly many think that continuing in presumptuous sin is allowed, habitually sinning. We should be “dead to sin”, but not living and submitting to it. Don’t be deceived, only the hearer and the doer are justified under God. “the face of the Lord is against them that do evil”, “God is angry with the wicked every day”. How long will you continue in your wicked ways? God asked the world. My friends, the world lies in wickedness, evil, and deceit. As Christians by no means should we submit to it, but go against it, conquering the sin in our lives, to be more like he who was without sin, our Lord, Jesus Christ. Without blemish and without spot he was while he lived on earth 33 years, and is still perfect, so what is the standard that we are held to, Christ Jesus. While we have sinned, and were condemned, by the Lord’s blood we are saved, but not to live in sin or else how could you be dead to that which you still live in? Make no mistake, willful sin is perverseness manifested in our bodies. “keep thy servant from presumptuous sin”, why did David ask this, because sin is the death of the soul. “the soul that sinneth shall die”, don’t you think this says and is a huge warning against presumptuous sin, seeing that every man has sinned and “there is none righteous, no, not one”.
This is the type of truth people dismiss and choose not to hear, but what does this mistake and rejection cost when judgment day comes because judgment day is for the sinner, those who died in their sins, still living in them, and chose to remain unrepented and did not escape from their sinfulness, those that did not obey the gospel, who may have heard it, but certainly did not it, and chose not to live in it. Weather people want to hear and/or acknowledge it, judgment day is coming. “As a thief in the night” the Lord comes, Matthew 24:27) For as lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west , so shall also the coming of the Son of man be))
