Fear of Judgement Day Should lead you to Repentance.

As Christians in the 21st century, we are told not to judge. Some even have quoted our own Bible to us, “Judge not, lest ye be judged” (Matthew 7:1-3). But what is this fear that is motivating sinners to pronounce their own judgment upon those who take the Bible seriously? I believe it’s their own fear of standing before a holy God themselves and being ultimately accountable for their own sins and rejection of Jesus Christ after they die!

For the Christian our judge will be our Saviour, so we don’t fear going to hell precisely because we have trusted in him, and we are forgiven, but for those who haven’t entrusted their lives to Jesus Christ, they have everything to fear because the God they have rejected will ultimately condemn them, unless they truly repent before they die.

Not wanting to be judged in this life would make our particular judgment after death extremely terrifying. Some people who think like this have an extremely distorted view of the Bible and Christian theology. They tend to make up their own theology about salvation and the judgment, betting that their is no hell, and possibly no heaven at all. Most live their lives for hedonistic pursuits, looking to chance and betting that if there is a Heaven, somehow they will be accepted. However the Bible teaches that anyone who goes to Heaven, first must admit they are sinners, (Romans 3:23).

When we come to God in this way, (Spiritually bankrupt) we then are able to abandon our own self efforts and trust Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. God doesn’t want us trusting in ourselves because His plan of salvation includes a Saviour, and we are not our own Saviour, we are sinners. To deny Original Sin by saying we never died spiritually as a human race or individually, is to deny biblical theology, and the nature and character of God in human history. It creates a false narrative and a false religion by denying the old and new covenant. It denies the existence of the God of the Bible and makes you a denier of God, the Bible, and the Holy Trinity and also a heretic.

To deny Original Sin is to deny reality. However this is precisely what some people think, that by denying biblical truths, they can silence the God of the Bible, their own conscience and ultimately their own judgment after they die! This is Mike.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
