YOUR JUDGEMENT WILL BE BASED ON YOUR TREATMENT OF OTHERS.

YOUR JUDGEMENT WILL BE BASED ON YOUR TREATMENT OF OTHERS.
Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36.
Topic: Your Judgement will be based on your Treatment of Others. 


"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was HUNGRY, and you gave me something to eat; I was THIRSTY, and you gave me something to drink; I was a STRANGER, and you invited me in; NAKED, and you clothed me; I was SICK, and you visited me; I was in PRISON, and you came to me."
Matthew 25:31-36 (NASB)

Salvation comes to us by believing in Jesus Christ and His blood. However, this scripture is clear in showing us that another “judgment of the nations” will be solely based on the treatment of less fortunate and handicapped people. Judgment will be based on your treatment of “others”. If your judgment is going to be based on how you treat “others”, then you must begin to think about “others”.
But I thought people only went to hell because they did not accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior? Yet, this scripture is showing us that people are being sent into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels because they did not care for “others”. I am sure we do not understand everything about eternal judgment. Dear friend, the scripture is clear enough. We need no further encouragement to care for “others”. Judgment will be based on our treatment and care for the unfortunate group we are calling “others.” Perhaps you have been thinking that the teaching on “others” is a nice Bible lesson on showing
kindness. Yes, it is a nice lesson on showing kindness. But it is also going to be the basis for your eternal and final judgment.

Your treatment of “others” will be the great measuring rod for your judgment on judgment day. Who are
are “others”? Who are the “others”? The “others” are the people outside your world. They are the hungry, the naked, the sick, the poor, the thirsty, the strangers and the prisoners. How you care for the least of people, how you care for the sick, how you care for the poor, how you care for the hungry and how you care for the prisoners will be the basis of your judgment.
“Others” are very important to God. How you treat people who are not so fortunate will be very important on Judgment Day. I am sure you do not want to hear the words, “Depart from me, wicked servant. I am sure you do not want to hear the words, “Depart from me into everlasting fire.” I am sure you do not want to be classified as a goat and sent away from His presence. I am sure you do not want to be cursed and sent
into the fire just because you did not treat such people properly. It is time to be serious about our ministry to the hungry, the thirsty, the strangers, the naked, the sick and the imprisoned!

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
