Give account
The writer of Hebrews states,
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12,13.
I believe the Bible has two purposes. One to show us the way to heaven and two to show us how God expects us to live.
Many in today’s culture do not want to hear how God expects us to live. They take heed of only the portions of the Bible they want to listen to and disregard the rest.
St. Augustine said,
“If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.” St Augustine.
The choice however is always ours. God has given us a freewill to do as we wish. That being said,
The book of Ecclesiastes reminds us,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
Please think about it.
