Hebrews 9

“And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, ²⁸ so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.” v.27-28 (NLT)

Judgment in not a popular theme today, but the Bible teaches that judgment is coming. In fact, the Bible says that one day Jesus is coming back and when He returns He will usher in Gods Kingdom.  This Kingdom will include a new Heaven and a new Earth.  Those that have repented of sin (turned away from it) and committed their life to Jesus, will spend eternity with God in His Kingdom.  Sadly, those that have not repented of sin and committed their life to Jesus, will be judged by the good and bad things they have done.  Because they have not committed their life to Jesus, and not been forgiven of sin, the Bible says they will spend eternity away from God in a very real place called Hell.

So when it comes to Christs return and the judgment that awaits all of us, we can either stand in confidence because we have trusted that Jesus is who He says He is, and He will do what He said He will do, or we can stand condemned, hoping that we were good enough and God will not do what He says He will do.

So the question today is this, If Christ was to return today, do you have confidence that you will spend eternity in Heaven?

Today, Ask Jesus for bold confidence.  Confidence in the fact that if you were to breath your last breath, you know you would spend eternity with Him in Heaven. If you don’t have this confidence, or have questions about having this confidence, click here!
