Are We ready to face our Creator?

The Bible says we will face Him; and everything that is happening in our world today is prophesied there too. It says that because of sin there’s death, and to die, things must deteriorate; reason for which we look worse today than years before. If you see a movie about long time ago, even the crooks and the mafia people dressed like gentlemen. Today, you even see important people on TV looking raggedy. And when they open their mouth. . . God created us with a free will, (not as slaves like the world’s bosses want to make us today.) He knew how things would end up in these last days, no doubt. His word says: Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him (Revelation 1.7a) But not only that, it also says that every knee will bow to Him (Philippians 2.10) because nobody would want to go to hell, and expects that his/her justification attitude then would help, but then it will be too late. Now is the time to repent for our mistakes. And I think, how about when He calls us by our name and asks us for our doings? Remember there will be a judgment day for everyone. I can just imagine what many are going to say when they have Him in front of them. . . “N- no. . .Y-you d-do not exist. . .I-I-I was told. . . th-that was a fable of the idiots. I-I-I’m not at fault.” Remember that will not be a world’s court where they blame the bad experiences to weaken the penalty. There’s no need for jurors, for God knows it all. If “someone else” taught you something you assert, it doesn’t mean he’s right. Find out for yourself, verify it; you don’t know that person’s compromise with the tempter. I don’t know how I would react when I have Him in front, but I am sure I will thank Him like I do it every day, for loving me, making me feel secure and paying my dues for having sinned, so the Father would accept me. I want you to know that every single day, when I’m playing on my phone, a message pops out saying “Do not be afraid for I am with you.” And that gives me peace for I know I’ll have no problem at all. How nice it is to know that no matter what, we, who have believed in Him, will be saved from Satan’s power (which only exists on this world. He has no power in the universe.) Just like the apostle Paul said: Therefore there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Romans 8.1,2) Some might say “but we have problems in this world and also die” Yes, that’s the result of the original sin of not obeying God’s commands. Yet we will resurrect one day, ones to live eternally, and others to die again. Do you know who will do one or the other? I have heard testimonies of people who have left important jobs in tyrant governments to come to where their victims dwell. I don’t know if they come as spies or really repented, but they all say the same thing to justify themselves: “But I did not do anything bad.” We might not know, but God does know everything and all we did on earth is accounted for in heaven, so everyone will know the truth and there’s no need to lie. Now is the time of Grace when we can really repent and be safe. It is NOT what we did or not, it is what HE did for us. Believe it or not, before God we ALL will be humble. His greatness is too much for anyone to resist especially if we are not His children now. Remember what Paul wrote: Therefore there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We must mean it, though, and show it in our actions. Paul, the apostle, whom God designated to lead the non-Jewish community (the gentiles) and wrote most of the epistles of the New Testament, was a persecutor of Christians before he was confronted with Jesus Himself (Read Acts chapter 9) and could NOT go on with his bad attitude. He learned the truth; that is why we know that anyone can change if he wants to and be free of any tormented emptiness that Christians’ prosecutors may inflict on anyone, and even be leaders in the righteous community for they have experienced, first hand, the power of the Holy Spirit who intercedes for everyone who confesses, from the heart, like many have done, to gain life eternal. That is why he himself wrote: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come. (2 Corinthians 5,17) If people do not leave behind the “old things” they did not really want to be in Christ and will not enjoy the new life that makes us conquerors over any bad feeling. One who did want to leave the bad in the past wrote for us his testimony in the most promising chapters in the Bible: For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8.38,39)
