We are nearing the end of the book of Revelation and we see prophecies about the very end of time. In chapter 20, we have a description of the great white throne judgment. Everyone who ever lived must come before God and receive a verdict on how they conducted their lives. For Christians, this will be the greatest day they have ever experienced. They can have confidence that they have obeyed God in life. They know that through the saving blood of Jesus, they will be found blameless before God. However, for those who have ignored God all their lives, it will be another story. This will be the day of their doom. God will open the books and recount to them all the evil they have done. He will sentence them to eternal judgment unlike any other they have known. There will be no appeals to this Judge. His word is final.
Where will you be? Where will I be on this day? Lord, help me to live my life today and always with the consciousness of a coming judgment day. Help me not to be distracted by things here on earth. Help me to remember the importance of living for You. Help me to keep heaven in view and remember that it will be worth it all.
