Have you ever heard about the Judgement Day as a Christian? What did you hear about it?

There are very few messages I know that strike as much fear in the hearts of “Christians” as the message of the “Judgement Day”.

The reason is because some christians have been made to believe that the judgement day is a day that is full of uncertainties. That is, you can’t be sure of what to expect that day.

They have also been told that the judgement which will take place that day is based on our human performance. If you do enough good works, then God would probably have pity on you on that day and not cast you into hell. If you are not careful the way you go about your christian life, you would see the other side of Him.

Some have even been told that on that day, God will display all the sins you have ever committed on a big TV Screen for the whole world to watch. Imagine such foolishness. How can the same God that said in 2 Corinthians 5:19, Hebrews 8:12 and Hebrews 10:17, that He doesn’t record your sins and will never remember them against you, go back on His Word?

All these notions above, are just some of the un-biblical teachings people have been fed about the judgement day. As long as you hold strongly to such notions, the devil, the accuser of brethren, will keep using them to take away your joy and keep you in bondage to fear. Especially when you have not been at your best behaviour.

Everytime you hear that the Judgement Day is coming, your whole body will shiver. You will think of all the negative things you’ve done and not see any reason why you won’t end up in Hell. All because you believe it is a day your behavioural script will be marked and in your own eyes you scored 0/100.

What really is the judgement day and how is it going to look like?

The judgement day is simply a day in which God would separate those who received His life through Faith in His Son Jesus, from those who didn’t. Those who didn’t believe in Him (Jesus), will be separated eternally from Him and the saints. Having been separated from His presence, they shall be utterly destroyed (Hell).
Concerning that day, here Is what apostle John wrote to us as believers.

1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Did you notice how he went on from verse 15 to explain something about the man in Christ i.e the believer today?

He says God LIVES WITHIN him. He has been made PERFECT in God’s love and would have BOLDNESS on the day on Judgement.

So on that day of judgement, we won’t be approaching the judge of the whole world with fear, timidity or shyness. We won’t have to shy away from His presence because we are not holy or righteous enough. We won’t be approaching Him with anything fear. You know why?

That is because as Jesus IS, so are WE in this present world.

The question now is, how is Jesus presently?
Well Jesus is RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and WELL-PLEASING (acceptable) to the father.

That simply means as believers, we are RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and ACCEPTABLE or WELL-PLEASING to the Father also.

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

As Christ IS, is how we are now and will forever be. That’s why we would have BOLDNESS/CONFIDENCE to stand before Him on that great day of judgement. That is what the Bible teaches.

Look at that verse 17 and 18 of 1 John 4 one more time.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Notice how it is clearly explained that God doesn’t want you to live in fear of that day. If you are still afraid of that day, it simply means you have not been made perfect in the love of God. You are yet to understand fully how much God loves you. You are yet to understand all that He has done for you in Christ. You are yet to understand who you are in Christ!

Yes the judgement day is coming but Jesus got you covered as a believer. Unlike what is popularly believed out there, your sins are not going to be displayed for the whole world to see and judge your level of performance. You are not going there to be judged by your works but rather your faith in Christ.

The only time you will ever be judged for your works as a believer is at the Judgement Seat of Christ. This is after you have gone to heaven.

That is where you will receive the reward for the good works you have done here on earth. If you have no good works on your account then, you will certainly have no reward from Him. Though you will still be in heaven. That is because heaven is not a reward for our good we have done. It is a gift we receive by faith in Christ.

Left for us, there is no amount of good works we can do that will be enough for us to enter there.

So, the last day or the day of Judgement, is the day in which God will judge the whole world. And on that day, only one thing will matter - Faith in Christ.

Have you believed in Jesus as your Saviour from sin and condemnation or are you still struggling very hard on your own to please God?
Do not forget that I said on that day ONLY ONE THING will matter. Not your religion, church or good works. Only faith in Christ. That is what will determine the outcome of your judgement.
That is the truth about the Judgement Day. That is what the Bible truly teaches!

Having received Christ as our Lord and saviour, we BOLDLY await that day!

I hope this blesses you.

Even death is not



Because some persons in the Bible did not,
So, it’s God’s Final decision TO man

Saifulah:
This is for those claiming he had died before yesterday. It is forbidden in Islam to keep the dead unburried.

In the state house statement, it said funeral arrangements will be announced. That will definitely be today but most likely low key burial.

If he dies, are we then immortal? hope for a good ending yourself rather than musing on that of others.

Stop telling us lies


Do Nigerian politicians follow or obey their religion when in office?

stephenduru:
Despite government’s concerted effort to restore normalcy in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, on14th April 2020, another community in the same local government was attacked.

According to report, at about 7:30pm, while people were going about their normal activities in Hwrra, a remote village in Maiyanga in Kwall District of Bassa LGA when Fulani herdsmen were said to have attacked the community, leaving 9 people dead, several houses, water pump and a motorcycle burnt.

According to report, a 25 year old pregnant mother of 1 was among those killed alongside her 7 year old child. Also killed was an elderly man who went in search of his grandson during the attack. The man and his grandson were killed in the attack.

Others killed were 3 people who attempted to escape during the attack.

The attackers appeared from different direction in large numbers and set many houses ablaze.
When villagers saw them, most of us ran for safety, unfortunately, 9 people lost their lives in the process.

Yes

He did, both not as beginner

PalmOilDealer:
Commercial Pilot should be number one on that list. Though a lot of people do not know, a university degree is not required to be a pilot.

So all the Northerners are doing well with theirs abi?

Good move

StreetFight:
I too disagree totally, it makes no sense even to a dog. But you agreed for the creation of an Agency for repentant militants, paying them monthly for doing nothing, sending them to foreign schools with government money and making several of them billionaires overnight e.g. Asari Dokuboh, Government Tompolo, John Boyloaf, Ateke Tom after kidnapping, raping and killing several Nigerians and foreigners.

Those names you mentioned are fighting for their right, so can you tell me what you and your colleagues are Now fighting for, To let consider the compensation?

Divers at the bottom

It was politically motivated in the first place


The impeachment hoax
From the do nothing Democrats, I wasn’t expecting Trump quitting the office of the president anyway

I also think that


This is good for Nigerians, as they hate protests

BiafraforTrump:
God bless you man, that guy must be an Edo man or Yoruba man, they don't want to lose their SS grip because that's all they have, very useless people. I don't blame them because even on Biafra map they are not included...

And you are insulting Edo state just because you guys have arguments here, you people think social media will just give you what you want. Try to be in Edo state to see for your self gelegele sea port

South East, south South is southern state but with love and unity we can stay together, insults here on nairaland will not change your life positively

Kizzygentle:
Never!!!.
I repeat never!!!

The best form of discipline is by verbal communication.
If d child does something bad call him/her and sit him/her down and softly tell d child that what he/she did is very wrong and can cause damage.
U could use a statement that sounds scary to scare d child. And then u pet d child after d correction. Trust me it works better than flogging.
But such method is often used by d rich only unfortunately.

You mean it works?

Definitely not for African child

Rayd502:
Mind boggling...Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gun powder.We ve seen similar issue played out in boko haram.
History should not be made to repeat itself.
This could be many times worse than what we have on our hands already if urgent steps are not taken by the govt to de escalate the tension.

If a court of competent jurisdiction has granted the accused bail then why is the government still holding him in custody?

Allow the proper judicial process be followed and if he is found guilty he should be jailed accordingly such that international human rights orgs will not question the process.

His continued detention will only fester radical and violent extremist tendencies by the followers .Two wrongs can not make a right.

You seem not to understand what this group are made of, Buhari is afraid of them, period

They are even saying it’s been on and off due to some technical reasons

Juliusmalema:
Northern youth or terrorist youths...

Sometimes when this guys speak, I only blame lugard and his adulterous girlfriend, if not we can't be cohabiting in the same estate with these people...

Na lugard, Cause all these nonsense.



He should have almagamated North, SW and Edo state together ie mid west....

Sharap there, Igbo people, why not react to the northern youths 30 days ultimatum

AngryNijerian:
I salute you Ohamadike. Any step they take you are always 22 steps ahead of them. Ruga gbuo ha ncha nile there

Hahaha,so this man is your hero?

If you stay in edo,and u knw oshiomole,u'd knw its jxt a matta of time for obaseki,all dis he's doing is merely initial gra gra.u cant fight oshiomole in edo state.dats jxt d hard fact.




So you think?

turning back the hands of time, just the same way Jonathan told his party members he will only go for 4yrs and later he betrayed on the promise, also close to the election day he postponed, yet that couldn't stop his defeat, same thing happening now to Buhari. the hand writing is boldly and clearly written on the wall

more are to come

Despite boasting of three prestigious higher institutions, Edo people are one of the most illiterate, ignorant and gullible people in this country, believing that Oba charade clears all doubt.

Rest in peace Pastor Eromosele"










your life is as useless as it is right now for saying Edo people, since this is the only way to comment
