Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 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. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto GOD; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2Co 5:6-11)
Our Lord is going to judge His people, not for our sins, which are covered by His blood, but for what we did for Him. That means in this life, until we are present with Him, we are at Liberty, not to sin against our Holy GOD who calls us to holiness, but to walk in Him and accomplish His Will as He lives and works through and in us to do His work. In light of eternity, and in light of His judgment, all that we try to accomplish must be considered whether it is of GOD, and whether it is of the flesh, or of this lost and dying world.
Knowing the judgement that is coming, for us with Christ, and for those who have rejected Christ at His appearing, we ought to be telling every one we can of the love and grace of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Since we are not to quench the Spirit by our lack of response to His promptings, nor grieve Him with our disobedience, we ought to be listening to His voice, reading and studying His Word that we might know Christ, confessing our sin to Him and forsaking it, and bearing our cross daily as we die to self, in order to lift Him up and glorify the Great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Until that day, when He takes us Home to be with Him, by death or by the Rapture, we are to minister as His ambassadors to those who are hurting and in need. Social justice and good works are not added to the Gospel, nor are they to earn anything, but at His direction to draw others to Himself and because of His love for all. We are to disciple one another in the Word that we may grow thereby as we love one another in the body for we are all one in Christ. He has given us His Word to know Him and ourselves, and to be equipped for all good works. We are to go with the Gospel, living the Gospel we preach. As we go, we are teach all nations, and making disciples through His Word, that all who hear and believe the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary may have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
