For
we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ,
That
each one may receive what is due him
For
the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
(2
Corinthians 5:10)
Now
we know that if the earthly Tent we live in id Destroyed,
We
have a building from God, an Eternal House in Heaven,
Not
built with human hands.
Meanwhile
we Groan, longing to be clothed with our Heavenly dwelling,
Because
when we are clothed, we will not be found Naked.
For
while we are in this Tent, we Groan and are burdened,
Because
we do not wish to be unclothed
But
to be clothed with our Heavenly Dwelling,
SO
THAT WHAT IS Mortal MAY BE SWALLOWED UP BY LIFE.
Now
it is God Who has made us for this very purpose
And
has given us the SPIRIT as a Deposit,
guaranteeing
what is to come.
Therefore
we are always confident
And
know that as long as we are a Home in the body
We
are away from the Lord.
So
we make it our GOAL to please Him,
Whether
we are at Home in the body or away from it.
For
we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ,
That
each one may receive what is due him
For
the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Since,
then, we know what it is to Fear the Lord,
We
try to persuade men.
What
we are is Plain to God, and I hope it is Plain to your conscience.
We
are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,
But
are giving you and opportunity to take pride in us,
So
that you can answer those who take Pride in what is seen
Rather
than in what is in the heart.
If
we are out of our mind, it is for you.
FOR
CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS US,
Because
we are convinced that one died for ALL,
And
therefore ALL died.
And
He died for ALL,
That
those who live should no longer live for themselves
But
for Him Who died for them and was Raised Again.
So
from now on we regard NO ONE from a worldly point of view.
Though
we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
THEREFORE
IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST HE IS A NEW CREATION;
The
old has gone, the New has come!
ALL
THIS IS FROM GOD, Who Reconciled us to Himself through Christ
And
gave us the Ministry of Reconciliation:
That
God was Reconciling the World to Himself IN CHRIST,
Not
counting men's sins against them.
And
He has committed to us THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION.
We
are therefore CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS,
As
though God were making His appeal through us.
WE
IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF:
BE
RECONCILED TO GOD.
God
made Him Who had NO SIN to be Sin for us,
So
that IN HIM we might become the Righteousness of God.
(2
Corinthians 5)
Just
as man is Destined to Die ONCE, and after that to face Judgment,
So
Christ was Sacrificed ONCE to take away the Sins of many people;
And
He will Appear A SECOND TIME,
Not
to Bear Sin, but TO BRING SALVATION
TO
THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR HIM.
(Hebrews
9:27, 28)
Today,
the hand of Christ Jesus is Extended to every living person.
Today,
is the Day of Salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)
Tomorrow
could be TOO LATE!
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
