A king who sits on the throne of judgment, Scatters all evil with his eyes. Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”? (Proverbs 20:8-9 NKJV)
He gives us an insightful reminder. An earthly king, who takes his role with serious devotion and integrity, winnows to sift the bad from the good when he sits in judgement. Yes, they run as fugitives from his sight. Yet, no one guilty escapes his eyes of equity.
The more so with the One and Only True Judge who is Jesus, when He takes His place on the judgement seat, He sees through the hearts of men. No one can stand before Him and say, I am pure - I have no sin. Scriptures tell us: "Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard," (Romans 3:23 NCV)
Maybe some slip off from the grip of earthly king's hand of judgement. Maybe some think they don't have to answer to anyone. Even if you don't believe heaven and hell; Even if you deny the Creator God; Even if you don’t accept you need a Savior; it does not change the truth. Everyone needs a savior. Each one will face the judgment seat of Christ.
So, it is best that we believe and make it our mission to labor to enter and rest in His grace for the pleasure of our Father and Lord Jesus Christ. We take to heart Apostle Paul's exhortation to the Corinthians: “Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:9-10 KJV)
And, we must remember, the works of God that we must do is to believe in Jesus. It is written: “Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” (John 6:28-29 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
