If we believe in God, we are ALREADY SAVED! No matter what happens, you will be in Heaven. But this is NOT the issue. The issue is, how have we invested our talents/gifts that God has given us? Only by doing God's works can we receive our REWARD! Our reward is given by what we have done on this earth. It is not judged by comparing with anyone in this universe, but by your capabilities + your choice to respond to God + your decisions in life. If we do not live up to God's expectations, we are the LOSERS! Not God, not your friend, not your family but YOU!
Decisions that do not follow God's will = straw
Decisions that follow God's will = precious gems
In your life, every decisions we make determine if our life will be filled with more STRAW or more PRECIOUS GEMS. When we die, God will judge us. He will use a burning torch and burn everything we have done in this world. Those that are made of straw will be WORTHLESS! However, those that are made of precious gems will be REFINED and it will be given as an offering to God. So let us do God's will, let us be obedient and obey His every command. Let us live our life for God so that we will have more precious gems when we account to God. WE WILL ALL ACCOUNT TO GOD!
God never makes junk! When God called you to be His children, He wants to use you! You are not useless, not worthless, not a waste of resources. You are meant to do His works! Remember, GOD NEVER MAKES JUNK! You are precious in His eyes. Do not let Him down.
Another point i learnt today was this. During this week, i kept complaining to God why He did not do this, why He never do that. Why He never listened to me or help me. Then i was convicted today. We are here to please God, NOT here to ask God to please us. Even if we suffer, we must please God! This is our purpose in life. To PLEASE God! Have you been pleasing God? Or have you been like me, complaining to God about everything?
There is one thing that i have yet to fully understand. "There is ONLY this day and THAT day (when we die and are judged)!" I will think through it!
Before i end, i just want to share something awesome! After the sermon, we had a prayer for healing, and my pain really disappeared! Amen! Praise God!
