The Great Judge

We think of God in many ways and some of the first things that come to mind are his grace, mercy, love, kindness, and goodness. However, we don't often think of God as the great judge. The truth is that God is full of grace and mercy, but he is also a judge who judges justly or rightly. You and I are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, but that doesn't stop God from being our Judge. The Bible says that at the end of each our lives, we will have to give an answer for the way that we have lived our lives and even if you know Christ as Savior, we will be judged according to the way we lived our lives. That is something that will make you think about the way you are living now. I am thankful that Christ died, but we can't take advantage of His grace and live how we want. We have to remember that at the end of our lives, we will have to give an answer for the way we lived our life, the way we treated people, the things we did, the friends we hung out with, the things we did in the quiet of our homes, and so on. Let's live our lives now with the end in mind!
