Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5: 6-8, 10
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
Scripture Commentary:
You stand at the station, waiting to go home. How do you spend that time? Do you do nothing or are you using your time productively? Use this example as an analogy of your life. How are you spending your life? Are you advancing your own message or spreading the Gospel of Christ?
Stand for God.
God has given each of us an assignment. Do you know yours? Talk to God; read His Word (The Bible). Stand for God. Although we can’t see Him, we can talk to Him, and He talks to us through The Holy Spirit.
For those of us who have a relationship with God, we know that death is not the end but the beginning. Eternal life is the gift God has for His followers; however, God’s gift of salvation is not free. One day we each will give an account.
Jesus’ death and resurrection has made us whole.
Love one another, help one another, and be obedient to God. He knows we are not perfect and that we will sin; however, when you sin, ask for forgiveness. Don’t take pride in false, worldly values. Jesus’ death and resurrection has freed us from Satan’s hold on death.
Free at last. Thank God!
