Will You have to Answer to God? We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5 v10 1
And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and contempt. Daniel 12 v2 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned; for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Romans 5 v12-13 2
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law. Romans 2 v12 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. John 15v22 3
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. If any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day. John 12 v 46-48 But man abideth not in honour, he is like the beasts that perish Like sheep they are laid in the grave, death shall feed on them; But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave Be not afraid when one is made rich, for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away he shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. Man that is in honour and understandeth not is like the beasts that perish. Psalms 49 v 12-20 4
The hour is coming, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live The Father hath given the Son authority to execute judgement also for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of judgement. John 5 v 25-29 Will You Have to Answer to God? when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints. 2 Thessalonians 1 v7-9 5
God will render to every man according to his deeds; to those that by patience in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life; but unto them that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish Romans 2 v 6-9 These all died in faith, not having received the promises. These all having obtained a good report through faith, received no the promise; God having foreseen some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11 v13,39-40 6
No man hath ascended into haven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven. John 3 v13 Turn to Matthew 13, v1-9, 18-23 7
Matthew 7 v21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity. so shall it be in the end of this world, The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matthew 13 v 40-43 8
there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and as the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12 v1-3. Will you have to Answer to God? There is one glory of the Sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. 1 Corinthians 15 v 41 9
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality...be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord 1 Corinthians 15 v 51-53, 58 1 Corinthians 15 v 20-23 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ, shall all be made alive, But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ s at his coming. 10
1 Thessalonians 4 v13-14. But I would not have ye to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so the also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 11
