Judgement
Have you ever thought about whether or not those
who are in heaven look down upon the earth and see us, and if
they do what are they thinking? Is what we are doing pleasing to them?
Is God up there, too? Is He judging us for what is to come in our
afterlife? How do we face His wrath?
Heaven is not
meant for past generations to look down upon us, and it never was.
Heaven was created to be the House of God, and later augmented to be an
eternal resting place for those who have been saved through faith in God.
2 Corinthians 5:1 Our body is the house in which our spirit lives here on
earth. When that house is destroyed, then God will give us another house.
That house is not made by man's hand. But God made it. It will
last for ever in heaven.
The angels in Heaven also do not judge us but delight themselves
in the repentance of sinners.
So if the righteous dead and the angles do not judge us, does God?
The answer is yes. Below are two places where it is mentioned in the
Bible. In Matthew 25:31-34 and 41 it is
written:
God's Judgement is also found in John 5:25-30:
John 14:2 In my Father's house
are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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 his 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. . . Then shall he say unto
his left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and
now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have
heard shall live. For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has
given to the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority
to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man. Wonder not at this,
for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
and shall go forth; those that have practiced good, to resurrection of life,
and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment. I cannot do
anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous,
because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent
me.
Well, if you have dedicated your life to God and asked Him to be your Lord and personal Savior then you should not be afraid of God's Wrath.
It is written that those who confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe it with their heart then salvation is theirs.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made into salvation.
For those that do not confess that God is their Lord and savior they shall surely die.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.
Being scared of God's wrath is a personal decision. So, is deciding to face God's wrath. The Bible says that anyone can call upon the Lord to be saved!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
