Key Verse: Verse 10 - “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
We are told in II Corinthians 5:10, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
I think you would agree with me that quitting on God can never be that which is good so it must be that which is bad. The judgment seat of Christ demands that we be faithful.
Walter B. Knight tells about two soldiers traveling by train at the end of World War II. One had spent more than three years in the South Pacific, and now was returning to his father, mother, friends, and sweetheart. All were waiting for him at the station in Chicago, and his eagerness could hardly be contained. “How fast are we traveling?” he asked the porter. “How far are we from Chicago? We can’t get there too quickly for me.”
On the same train another serviceman sat in the same coach. His face looked like a blown-out lamp, a picture of gloom and dejection. He was in handcuffs and in the charge of military police. He was not eager to reach his destination, for nothing awaited him but judgment and punishment.
Two men on the same train bound for the same destination – one eager for reunion, the other dreading judgment.
Which are you?
What to do:
✞Don’t quit – be faithful.
