Our Scripture reading today is Romans 14:10-13.
Verse 12, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."
There is coming a day when every born again believer will appear before the judgment seat of Christ. We will not be judged for sin. Praise the Lord, the penalty for our sin was paid in full at the cross. What will be judged is our service for Jesus Christ following our salvation. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Our attention is to be placed on our lives and if we are walking in the will of God. The works as well as the motives for those works will be judged at that time. (Read 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.)
It ought to be our goal to have many rewards in order that we might bring more honour and glory to the Lord Jesus. Salvation comes with a very high cost. Isaiah 53:5, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." The true disciple of Jesus Christ will want to follow His will and serve Him all our days.
