In the End...

In the end we will be judged by our own works, our own doing. We won’t be judged because what someone else did or didn’t do, but rather by our reaction to it. We can’t ride the coattails of our priest’s or pastor’s, parents’, spouse’s, best friend’s, or sibling’s faith or good works. We will be judged by our own behavior. God doesn’t have favorites, or at least He doesn’t treat some more deserving than others. We must live our lives first and foremost, with a deep reverence for God, love others, and be accountable to Him for our actions. Does this sound foreign to you here in America? Of course, because it’s the exact opposite of we what see and here 24/7. Just think most all the problems we have here is due to one big philosophy: don’t tell me what to do!!! It goes against everything God promotes. In actuality, it’s what He calls SIN.

17 And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of Him during your time as “foreigners in the land.” 1 Peter 1:17
