Look,
I
Am
Coming
Soon!
Scripture
Revelation
22
12 “Look,
I am coming soon! My reward is with me,and I will give to each
person according to what they have done.
Observation
Here's
why it matters how we live our lives as Christians, at least here is
one good reason … because when Jesus returns … He is going to
reward each person according to what we have done.
Our
good works do not save us, but God is keeping track of them to reward
us when we get to Heaven!
Here
is another reason, and this is something that we Christians seem to
easily forget or just totally ignore, that even though the penalty of
our sins is forgiven, we still have to live with the consequences of
our sins.
And
our sins not only have terrible consequences for us, but they also
have severe consequences on our family.
What
are you doing to your wife or husband? What are you doing to your
kids or grand kids?
Adultery,
sexual immorality, gambling, drunkenness, gluttony, lying, stealing,
murder, etc., yes, and all other horrible sins that you and I commit
or could commit are all covered by the blood of Christ, but the
consequences of our sin – Oh, what horrible damage they cause!
If
you are caught up in some sin right now … think … turn back to
God … confess that sin … before more damage, more destruction is
done to yourself or before you wreak more havoc on those you love!
Application
I
confess that I am a sinner. I will confess my sins as I commit them.
I do not want to damage myself or my family by indulging in sin.
I
want to finish well.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help those I know who at this very moment are living in sin.
They can't see how much hurt, how much damage that they are causing
to themselves or to their family. Open up their eyes. Show them what
they are doing. Give them the courage to turn back to You. Give them
the courage to get things right with their spouse. Get them quickly
to a place of honesty, humility and brokenness, so they can be saved
from destruction. I know that You are watching how we live. I know
that You will reward us for all that we have done to further Your
Kingdom. Help me to stay focused on Your stuff and don't let my focus
be on me, myself, and I.
