KEY VERSE: “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31, NIV)
When you look around the world, you see a lot of ungodliness being perpetuated. People have chosen to break God’s holy laws with impunity. The day of judgment is definitely coming, and it is coming sooner rather than later. Everyone will face Jesus Christ, the Supreme Judge. This is the message Apostle Paul drove into the hearts and minds of this powerful council of people who sat in judgment of persons brought before them.
The Bible is very clear that one day we will all appear before the judgment seat of God, whom Abraham called “the Judge of all the earth” (Genesis 18:25, NIV). The caution Apostle Paul gave was “in the past God overlooked such ignorance”. God shall judge every deed of unrighteousness. John, the Revelator wrote: “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” (Revelation 20:12, NIV). One popular warning of scripture says “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27, KJV).
The good news is you are not yet dead, and you have the opportunity to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Today, you can be saved from the wrath of the Holy Judge and not go to live eternity in hell.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
The Bible says, “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10, NIV). If you should stand before the judgment throne of God, what would you say in response to his charges against you? Remember, there will be no repentance after death. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPENT OF, DO IT TODAY BECAUSE TOMORROW MAY NOT MEET YOU AMONG THE LIVING.
PRAYER:
Father, teach me to live right and to prepare a strict account to render when I stand before your judgment seat. Reveal to me anything in my life which is not pleasing to you and empower me to repent. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!
The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING
DAILY word study: JUDGE The word judge comes from the Greek krinō, which means to separate, decide, or pronounce judgment. It describes God’s perfect ability to distinguish right from wrong and to give every person what is due.
Unlike human judgment, which can be biased or limited, God’s judgment is always righteous and final. Paul’s message in Athens reveals that judgment is not just a warning—it’s a promise of accountability and justice. The risen Christ is both the proof and the appointed Judge. His resurrection assures the world that justice will prevail, and every hidden deed will be brought to light.
Reflect on this:
If God were to judge your life today, what would He find that still needs to be made right?
