“Man is appointed to die once,and after that to face judgment.”
Hebrews 9:27. We will all die and we will all face judgment. Nobody
will escape. We will be judged by our DEEDS. Nobody knows when their
last day will be. It is therefor wise to always be prepared and to
live every day as though it is our last day.

Jesus Christ Himself is the final judge
of all men. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be
recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad.” We also read the words of the apostle Paul in
Romans 2:6-11 “God...WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek
for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those
who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will
be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil,
of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor
and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God.”

We read in Revelation 20:11-15 “Then
I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for
them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was
opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged
from the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were
judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

Many people will die today but very few
are prepared to die and face judgment. Many choose not to believe the
truth and prepare. Others are complacent and believe that they still
have much time left. Many are deceived by false doctrines. They are
just religious. They believe in Jesus for salvation but they do not
know nor obey Him. They believe that they are saved by grace, they
keep on sinning and live worldly lives but they will end up in hell
if they do not repent and obey Jesus. Jesus warned that He will send
many believers to hell. He said:”15“Beware of the false prophets,
who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous
wolves.16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not
gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are
they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor
can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So
then, you will know them by their fruits.

Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many
will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform
many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I
never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.’” Matthew 7:15-23.
All sinners and sinning believers will end up in hell. Being
religious and just believing in Jesus will not save you. We have to
live holy and righteously. In obedience to Jesus.
The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. His words are recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said:“Therefore everyone who hears these words
of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it
did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone
who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against
that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.
Are you ready to die? Are you ready to face judgment? Obey Jesus,
repent and be baptized, be holy and live in obedience to the words
and commandments of Jesus, and He will reveal himself to you. You
will know Him and He will know you. You will have the hope of eternal
life. Do not delay. Get right with Jesus and stay right with Him,
until the end. We don't know when our time will come. Always be
ready.
May Jesus bless you.
