DAY OF JUDGMENT: REJOICING versus Weeping.
Many people still have a displaced sense of reality about being in the
kingdom of God; they believe that somehow being righteous and living uprightly
is boring. Those with such an opinion instead express opinions such as “live
your life the way you want to,” which seems to be the mantra of life for many
in this present time.
Going even further, many have bemoaned that there is so much going on
that there is just not enough time to take it all in a lifetime. However, this
belief is mistaken, misguided, and misinformed; those who think this way need
to stop and re-evaluate their life because at the end of time, only the meek
will receive a reward of inheritance and will delight themselves in the
abundance of peace (Psalm 37:11).
“For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his
tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. Let him eschew evil,
and do well; let him seek peace, and ensue it” (1 Peter 3:10–11).
What life should we seek to live today? It would be a waste of lifetime
having lived and not come to repentance and remissions of sins to seek to obtain
Eternal Life before this world passes away on the LAST DAY (1 Peter 21:33)
(Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10)?
Therefore, do not waste this lifetime because whether we are alive or
asleep we will be awake on DAY OF JUDGMENT to face the only Savior: Jesus
Christ who says: “The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark
1:15). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
Jesus forewarned the generation when he was on this earth, which still
echoes to all generations said: “Verily I say unto you, that there be some of
them that stand here, which shall not [TASTE OF DEATH], till they have seen the
Kingdom of God come with power’” (Mark 9:1).
The mere mention of those words “taste of death” should send chills into
every one who has not as yet repented and does not believe the gospel because
Jesus also forewarned saying, “There will be [WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH]”
(Matthew 8:12).
On the other hand for those in the kingdom of God Jesus says:
“[REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY], and leap for joy: for, behold, [YOUR REWARD
IS GREAT IN HEAVEN]: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the
prophets” (Luke 6:23).
