Principles of the Doctrine of Christ: Eternal Judgement (conclusion)

Beloved, I want to conclude writing on the topic “Eternal Judgment” from our “Principles of the Doctrine of Christ” series. We learn from the scriptures the truth of eternal judgment as taught by the Word of God – “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened [their memory was released]: and another book was opened, which is the book of life [their conscience]: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books [they will be judged according to the deeds they will remember doing while they were alive], according to their works [this is the proof that I’m speaking the truth!]. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it [no one will escape, even those whose bodies were lost at sea]; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them [those whose bodies were cremated or scorched beyond recognition]: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death [the first death is the torment of awaiting judgment!]. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:12-15; see also Revelation 14:9-11 and Isaiah 66:22-24).

Precious Ones, as you can see through examination of scripture, no one will be elusive enough to escape God’s anger and wrath on that day (which is sure to come)! My prayer is that God will count us all worthy to escape all of these things, and that we all stand before Jesus on that day, righteous and permitted to enter into “the joy of [the] Lord” (heaven – Matthew 25:21).

Chosen Ones, the only chance we have to escape God’s eternal judgment sentence is to walk before Him as best as we can, with a pure, undefiled conscience! If there is something you are doing that is condemning your conscience, STOP IT before it’s too late! Remember what the scripture teaches us “…if our heart [our conscience] condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things” (I John 3:20).

I will write more on this subject next week. Until then, know this,

I love you all SO very much.
In His Love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
