“I’m a fantastic individual, I’ve in no way performed any individual any harm”.
What might be extra tragic than locating out on Judgment Day that you simply had been not the fact is a Christian when all via life you had thought you had been? This can be a terrible reality for quite a few, quite a few persons. Matt7:13-15. Will it occur to you?
In this write-up I will highlight a number of the misconceptions which can arise and deceive you.
Very first of all, what exactly is a Christian? The simplest definition is, “a follower of Christ”. Nevertheless, whilst that’s accurate, it can be significantly too broad to deal with the “tragedy” under consideration. I will as a result narrow down our consideration to “your individual day of judgment and its outcome”. Refer Heb 9:27.
Only God knows your heart, your history and each factor concerning your life. For that reason no man can judge you in this regard. Having said that, God has created several points quite clear inside the Bible which you have to heed if His choice about you on “your judgment day” is be inside your favor. Let’s take a check out some misconceptions very first of all.
I’m an excellent individual
One of the most frequent could be, “I’m a superb individual, I’ve in no way completed any person any harm”. Or similarly, “I’m a superb individual, I’ve often accomplished great points for my fellowman”. Although moral values and very good works are indeed virtues to be applauded, which is not God’s criteria for no matter whether you will invest eternity with Him. These “moral values and superior works” can even be very religious and consist of speaking prophetically, delivering persons of evil spirits and working miracles. Nevertheless if this is your only basis for your eternal salvation and becoming a Christian, then the Lord will say, “I by no means knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.” Refer to Matt 7:22-23.
There will likely be no bartering or negotiating. The vital point here is that it can be the Lord who has the last word. Following all, He will be the Judge! His judgments will likely be by His standards and not yours. We have a tendency to need to play God in life due to the gift He gave us referred to as freedom of option, which is normally lead by selfish desires for power or some other individual desire. This freedom enables you to do very good and practice excellent works to other people. Having said that after you think that our perceived goodness is beneficial sufficient for your eternal destiny, you may the fact is locate it is going to constantly fall a lengthy way short of the excellent standards of a holy and pure God. Which will be the reason He sent His son Jesus to be our savior.
Can you start to see the seriousness of the scenario and your should get a full understanding of the truth?
I’m from a Christian residence. I go to church
Let’s take a look at a further misconception. Quite a few think for the reason that they grew up in a Christian household and have usually gone to church, that they’re “OK” with God and their eternity is going to be a great 1 with Him. But is that what the Bible teaches us? Unquestionably not.
