"I Think, God Says"

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."  Revelation 20:12

The world has a way of thinking.  The church has a way of thinking.  The religious crowd has a way of thinking.  Individuals have their own way of thinking. 

You may think that living together outside of marriage is all right.  You may think homosexuality is all right.  You may think that lying and cheating and taking advantage of others is all right.  You may think there is nothing wrong with drinking, smoking, cursing, doing drugs, watching pornography, etc.  But in the end, it doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter what I think, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.  The only thing that will matter is what God says about it. 

In the end we will be judged.  We won't be judged by what we thought about a certain subject, we will be judged according to how God thought about it.  There will be books that will be opened as we stand before Him and we will be judged out of those books.  Those books contain His Word and the way we lived our lives according to His Word.  Then there will be another book that is open that will determine whether we have eternal life or eternal damnation.  If the record shows that we didn't live according to His Words in the books, then it is sure that our name won't be in the Book of Life. 

It is not God's will or plan that any should perish.  This is why He gave us "books"- His Word.  They show us His love for us, His plan for us, how to receive His love, how to walk in what is written in the books, how to surrender to Him and live for Him.  Are you living your life by the way you "think" or by what God says?  In the end that will be the only thing that matters-- what God says.

Have a great day.  It isn't about what you think or what I think, it is about what God says.
