The Daily Word of Righteousness
An Examination of Current Teaching, #26
God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. (Romans 2:6-8)
If, however, we do not choose to keep the commandments of Christ and His Apostles, do not choose to follow the Spirit of God each day, then the Spirit of God cannot come against the works of Satan in us. We then are judged and condemned for being a wicked, lazy servant.
At the Judgment Seat of Christ we will receive what is due us because of our neglect of our salvation, and then in terms of the wickedness we have practiced because the bondages of Satan were not broken in our life.
We may be saved as by fire, most of our personality and all of our reward and inheritance burned away, and enter the Kingdom of God as a naked spirit. Or Christ may determine we are incorrigible and have us thrown into the Lake of Fire.
"Depart from me, I never knew you!"
You can see from this the terrible danger of the current teaching of grace (forgiveness). The believers have a blithe attitude toward the Judgment Seat of Christ when they ought to, as did Paul, tremble at the thought of being made manifest before the Consuming Fire of Israel.
God does not punish us for being born in sin and being bound with sin. Rather, He punishes us for not taking advantage of the provisions He has made through which we can gain victory over the world, Satan, and our own lusts and self-will. When we do not follow Christ diligently, supposing we are being "saved by grace (forgiveness)," we are not set free from the power of sin. Therefore we continue in our chains, and from those very chains we shall reap corruption and destruction in the Day of the Lord.
The choice is ours.
Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:28,29)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7,8)
I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Revelation 2:23)
The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. (Revelation 20:13)
Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. (Revelation 22:12)
