What Kind of Judgement will you Face

Galatians 2:6-9
A. God doesn't look at people the way we do. God isn't going to judge people the way we do. The way we judge others is by how they look, how they dress, what their position is in this world.
B. The non believer the person who has not accepted God’s free gift of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ is going to be judge for that rejection of God. But the person who has accepted Jesus is also going to be judge. They are going to be judged how faithful they were to what God called them to. Here Paul was faithful to the people he had been called to take the good news too and so was Peter.
C. God is also going to judge his followers far as if they obeyed him in what he told them to do. If Jesus is Lord of your life in some way and far as that issue goes he tells you to do something you can’t say no Lord because if you say no his Lordship is not running your life. For example if some person says they want to be a missionary. Then God calls them to Mexico they can’t say no Lord I don’t want to go to Mexico.
D. The child will also be judge for their relationship with God. Now when we receive Jesus the most important relationship in our lives has started which I believe can never be lost but you will be judge if you had an ongoing relationship with God. Did you live for him or did you fall back into sin that you didn't repent of. The good news is while we are living we can always repent of the sin in our lives and turn away from it.
Now when you die you are either going to be judged for rejecting God’s gift of salvation in Jesus or you are going to be judged what you did after you received salvation. Either way the answer is to go to Jesus. If you have never come to him today just ask him to come into your life. If you know Jesus but for whatever reason you aren't living for him repent. Tell Jesus you are sorry and with his help you are going to start living for him.
