“For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.”
Psalms 7:8
The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
Psalms 9:8
and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.
Psalms 11:4
The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.
Psalms 82:1
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
Psalms 96:13
for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
Genesis 18:25
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”
Acts 17:31
because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed
Romans 14:10-12
For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
1 Corinthians 4:4-5
For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.
I am always intrigued by the verses in Romans where it says “For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.” We will all come before God, be judged and will give account for what we have done in this life. What do we use to govern what we are to give account for? What is guiding these thoughts? I fear we do not spend enough time in His word to know. I fear we allow what is accepted by the culture we live in to dictate our thoughts and actions on how, when, where, and why we serve God. Spend time in His word – lean not onto your own understanding – do not listen to what the culture says is acceptable – listen to what He is saying to your heart through His word.
