Doing The Math

From scripture, we learn the expectations of Jesus are not for us to simply live the American dream, die and go to heaven. There is some accounting to do. To church leaders in Corinth Paul wrote:

For all of us must appear before judgment seat of Christ, so each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil.
(2 Cor 5:10)

Most of us have the wood, hay and stubble. It is our choice to lay up treasure of gold, silver, and precious stones. What have we given to Jesus that will survive the refining fire?

As Jesus was leaving the earth his last request was for us to go to the ends of the earth. Go and disciple the nations. There are no biblical exclusions on who should be involved in fulfilling Jesus' last request.

Since the Lord will not leave us or forsake us, what assignment will you not take? What would you do if you were not afraid?

There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. We must warn them. And we must train and disciple others to warn them of the terror of the mistake of not embracing Jesus — Creator, Redeemer and Friend.
