The Final Judgment

FATHER, speed Your grace and mercy to ____ as (he/she) speaks on Your behalf. I pray (he/she) puts into practice what Your Word declares.

“The only message with power is that which is preached from a pure heart…” (ref#138, p45). A message with power also must come from a person with clean hands (ref#138, p45). Pierce ____ with the imperative to be holy and blameless before (he/she) attempts any speaking to others. Witnessing does not off-set the need to be holy.

Yes, give ____ incentive to thoroughly describe the judgment seat of CHRIST. “All people of all times will be raised for the judgment and take their place before Christ’s throne” (ref#56, p1404, “The Final Judgment”) (Rom 2:6).

“The regenerate, who…have learned to love righteousness and desire the glory of heaven,…and on the basis of Christ’s merit…will be awarded the righteousness they seek” (ref#56, p1404, “The Final Judgment”). “The rest will go to…a place assigned to them on the basis of their own demerit” (Rom 2:6-11) (ref#56, p1404, “The Final Judgment”).

Balance ____’s message of judgment with the following truth: “…God has granted repentance that leads to life’” (Acts 11:18 ESV). “…a message by which you will be saved,…” (Acts 11:14 ESV). “…Jesus…is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead….that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name’” (Acts 10:38,42-43 ESV).
