God Will Judge You.

     It has become a common thing for people to hide behind the saying "Only God can judge me." When confronted with their sin, individuals are often offended, and think that being told about sin and its consequences is being judgmental.
     The bad news is the fact that yes, God will judge you someday (Rev 20:11-15). That should strike terror into the hearts of those who so carelessly reject the faithful witness of the truth of God's word, by claiming "Only God can judge me."
     God will judge you with true justice. He will be righteous in His determination of your guilt or innocence, and the sentence will be just.
     He who searches the hearts knows every thought and intent of your heart. He can see through the lip service that so many give Him while their hearts reject Him. He knows your deeds, and by your deeds, He will judge you.
     It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God, when you have lived for your selfish pleasures in this lifetime (Hebrews 10:30-31). We might think that somehow we are good in His sight, or that we are a Christian by the worlds definition of that word, but our sinful deeds proclaim otherwise. 
     Jesus tells us that without the new birth, we will not enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:3, 5-6). We need to be transformed by Jesus Christ. We need the forgiveness only He can provide, and the freedom from sin that only comes through a living faith in Him.
