Everything Exposed
Luke 8:17 (NLT): “For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.”
Many people wonder what Heaven will be like. But many don’t want to think about Judgment Day. The Bible talks about the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10), and the Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 19:11). If you are a Christian believer, have lived your life for Jesus Christ, and obeyed His Word, then you will appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ. But if you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, or you said that you believe in God but were never obedient to His Word, or still felt that the sins you had on the side were ok, then YOU WILL appear at the Great White Throne of Judgment. Many people profess they are Christians, but don’t live the Christian life.
Want to know the scariest thing ever? Every secret sin, every lie, every spoken word in secret that went against God’s Word will be exposed and brought into the open. By the way, this will not be a private meeting just between you and Jesus. EVERYONE will see and hear what you did. That is the entire second half of the scripture. Everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all! You can’t run; you can’t make excuses, and you can’t justify what you did. Your sins will be exposed, and you WILL be on your knees crying and pleading for forgiveness. But it will be too late. You had a lifetime to change your heart for Jesus Christ, but you chose to live for yourself. Yep. I’m talking about the Great White Throne of Judgment. Then there will be total rejection. The Bible says there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 8:12, Matthew 13:42, Matthew 13:50, Matthew 24:51, Matthew 25:30) Jesus mentioned weeping and gnashing of teeth many times!
The Judgment Seat of Christ is a different courtroom. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) At the Judgment Seat of Christ, you are rewarded for the good deeds you did on earth. But as a reminder, doing good deeds only is not the decoder key for entry into Heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.” (John 14:6)
Ask yourself a serious question: “Is what I’m doing now glorifying God, or is it worth being exposed for everyone to see?” Do you have nothing to hide, or will you be ashamed before God for what you tried to hide? For those who will remember processing film and dealing with negatives, if you expose the negative to light, then the image is erased. Confessing your sins while you are on this earth and repenting “exposes” your life’s record to the Light (Jesus Christ), and God uses Jesus’ shed blood to make you righteous and cleanse you from sin.
Make the right decision now! Now is the day and time for salvation! (2 Corinthians 6:2) You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
Be Blessed!
