Romans 2:5-8 – 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will give to each person according to what he has done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
So many warnings to the ones He loves. We have to stay in the Bible because it is the Word of Life. We naturally are sinners and when we slip further away from the Word of God we become more self-seeking and stubborn.
We will give an accounting. That’s a positive for us to dwell on while we still have a chance to serve Him. We can’t take our eye off the prize. What would we be taking it off for?
All of us are one day older than we were yesterday. We are all one day closer to seeing the Lord face to face.
The proof is in the pudding that nothing earthly material is making the trip later when we leave.
We’re going to give an accounting for what we have done. We’re going to give an accounting for what we didn’t lift a finger to do.
Why are we ignoring that?
We all need to do our best while we still have time. Let’s all shoot for the words, “Well done good and faithful servant!”
