My Account
Richard WaialealeRomans 14:12 (NIV)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
My salvation was settled when by faith, I gave my life to Christ (when I said YES to Jesus). This Scripture is saying, each believer’s life of service will be under review, but I will still be rewarded for what I’ve endured in this life - I’m still going to heaven. I read this part of Scripture as “God’s judgment seat” for the believers in the Lord. Which means I cannot just give my life to Christ and sit around and do nothing until Kingdom come.
The Bible says, “Now go and make disciples of all nations.” Which means I have some work and responsibilities as a follower of Christ. There are people in this world that don’t know about Jesus, and they don’t have eternity wrapped up. God holds the keys to Heaven, waiting for me to save lives and win souls for Christ. My call to ministry is to bring as much people with me to eternity as I possibly can. God places them in front of me for a reason - to save them.
Lord thank you for allowing me serve in Your kingdom. I pray that I follow through with all that You have for me. Amen.
