" A FEARLESS FUTURE"

        "In keeping with God's promise we are looking forward to

           a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteous."

                                           2 Peter 3: 13

         What will happen to us on judgment day? The apostle Peter answered that very simply.  "In keeping with God's promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness." On judgment day we will inherit a home of righteousness. That's  good new when considered in contrast to what we have deserved

        When you woke up this morning, what was the first thing on your mind, Today is thursday; it's laundry day," or "I only have an hour to get to work, or, "I wonder if it rained last night"? If you are  like me, the morning's first involve clearing the cobwebs from the brain and routinely mulling over the day's upcoming activities. Tomorrow morning let's try something different. Let's turn our attention to spiritual matters, "Where do I stand in relation to my God?"

        If we take a look at ourselves in the mirror of God's perfect standards, thought of standing before God isn't all that pleasant. He is holy; we are not. By the sin we are born with by the wrong we do, and by the right we don't do, we deserve the worst. Our worries, doubts, greed, envy and anger have separated us from God's love. By all rights we have earned hell.

        Thankfully , God is  is as merciful and forgiving as he is holy and just. Heloaded on to his Son all our wrongs and transferred to us Jesus' perfection. Because we won't get what we desrved; we will get what he earned. Now that is a truth worth holding on to as we begin each day. That is a truth worth holding on to every day to the end.

        So what will happen to people on judgment day? When Christ Jesus appears in all his glory on that dat, all the dead will be raised and brought befire him with all the living. Those have who rejected God's mercy will be condemned, body and soul, to the eternal pain of hellfire abd eternal separation from God's love. In the same moment, believers in Jesus will have their bodies glorified, and body abd soul they will be with the Lord forever. As you sit on the edge of your bed tomorrow morning, ask yourself, "Where do i stand in relation to God? What will happen to me on judgment day?" The think of the Savior, Jesus. He has preoared fir us a home of righteousness. Therefore encourage each other with these words
