IN WHOM AND IN WHAT IS YOUR FAITH ANCHORED?



According to the Scriptures, at the end times, when the actual world system that man has already been living in for many ages, and time will run its course, there is a DAY OF JUDGEMENT coming. And that is, as far as we can understand, for ALL mankind living on this planet called earth – from the time of Adam to the last person still to be born.
In Revelation chapter twenty, there is a description about that day. We can read the what the Apostle John writes (and let us be sure that THAT DAY is coming) about the future and final history of humankind on this actual earth: “And I saw a great throne and Him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15)

Dear reader of this blog, the above words in Revelation were written for you and me, for every human being, be it man or woman from every nation without exception. And the purpose for which the Lord revealed these truths to us, is for us to repent and believe the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If we neglect or do not pay attention to these sacred and solemn warnings, it simply means that we are turning our backs to all the spiritual blessings in heaven that are eternal, instead facing and living a life that never before did or could give true happiness. We came into this world empty and empty we will go to the grave.
But for those who have heard and obeyed the blessed gospel of our God, we read in God’s word the following: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him!” (Read 1 Cor. 2:6-16).
The Lord willing, in our next blog, we will consider other passages of Scripture that touch this subject of the Judgment of God.
