“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.” Romans 14:12 (NIV)
God sees every moment of your life. God will hear every word you speak today. Each act of kindness will not go unnoticed. Your thoughts, your motives, and your attitude will not escape His attention. God is all knowing and all seeing. Has it ever occurred to you that nothing ever occurs to God? Nothing catches God by surprise.
One day you will stand before God to give an account for your life. As a follower of Christ, your sins have been forgiven. The penalty for your sin debt has been paid in full. Jesus took your sin upon Himself and received the full wrath of God for your sin. As a believer, you will not stand before God to determine your eternal destiny. Where you spend eternity is solidified by your belief in the atoning work of Christ on the cross. Salvation is not in question.
When you stand before God, you will give an account for how you invested the life God has given you. You are a steward of the blessings and opportunities God gives you. What have you done with all that God has entrusted to your care? Have you been faithful to join God in His redemptive activity? Have you employed your spiritual gifts in service to God through His local church?
Every moment matters to God; so make every moment count. Don’t squander your life. Live in light of standing before God one day to give an account. Make decisions based on what God has said in His word and what God will say when you stand before Him.
Pursuing God,
