Rev 20:11-15

It's late and I wasn't going to post until tomorrow but then my hair is wet so I can't sleep yet. I don't mean to do this, I mean to be intentional with my blog and definitely intentional in my study. But I need to sleep because I have work in the morn, so unfortunately heres a short post on Rev 20:11-15

Rev 20:11-15 Judgement Before the Great White Throne

So John sees the great white throne and "him who was seated on it." John also sees the earth and sky retreat from Him, who is Christ. In verse 13, it also says the sea gives up those who are in it. So with the land, sea, and sky giving up all who are in them, where can anyone hide? everyone will be judged. The passage continues to mention the book of life and that all whose names are not in it will be thrown into the lake of fire. The passage says that the dead are judged, "by what was written in the books, according to what they had done." In these books are written all the deeds on non-Christians and they will be dealt with justly. Christians however, will be rewarded by their deeds yet their sins are reconciled by Christ's blood and that is how their names are written in the book of life.

What I realize: Luckily, as a Christian, my name is written in the book of life and I won't be held accountable for my countless sins. Even if I didn't do anything really really bad, which I won't really ellaborate on..... but any sin before a perfect God is inifinitely horrible. The way I look at is, life is a pass or fail class, the requirement for pass is 100%, no less. Thank you Jesus for dying for me, I should be judged for so much, but I won't.

goodness I'm tired, I would otherwise continue. Tomorrow I start ch 21
