Take Heed How You Live

Our lives are always under divine scrutiny. Planted all over both visible and invisible realms are heaven’s close circuit monitoring cameras which as it were, are completely unseen to our eyes. Absolutely nothing is hidden from God’s sight. We must therefore be careful how we live.

It is not uncommon for people to have secrets. There are secret thoughts, plans and actions known to you but hidden to others. However, what is hidden to man is plain and open before God who will judge our secrets and “render to every man according to his deeds” (Romans 2:6). God will judge how we have lived, including our secret lives that men may never access.

Please understand that no one shall escape or be spared from the judgment of God (Romans 2:3). The scripture also assures that in this matter, there will be no favouritism. God will have no respect for your status, wealth, political stature or any other thing by which men procure influence, obstruct justice or oppress fellow men (Romans 2:11).

Since we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and God will judge the secrets of men by Christ, aligning with Jesus is one surest way to have a favourable judgment (2 Corinthians 5:10). That alignment begins when you truly surrender your life to Christ and commit to living by His words. The Bible guarantees that those who are Christ’s will be judged in Him and would not partake of the general judgment that shall come upon all men (John 5:24).

Beloved, take heed to live in the ways of Christ and you will rejoice in time to come.
