How We Live!

Have you ever heard the term, “wet behind the ears”, or “just fell off the turnip truck”, or “country bumpkin”? Sayings like these reflect on a person’s naivety, they are used to imply that a person’s life experiences and understanding of life are lacking in comparison to one who was raised in the “big city.”

The reality is that every person no matter where they live or what their life experiences are, we all have the same reality and choices. We all have to live our life based on these questions: Do I believe in GOD or not? Do I live morally or not? Do I live with personal integrity or not? Do I treat other people as I want to be treated or not?

This is how every person is going to be judged by GOD:

For every person that believes and confesses Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of GOD and that He is the only way of salvation. Jesus will judge them based on how they lived their redeemed life based on these questions.

For the person who rejects salvation through Jesus, GOD will judge them for that and they will find that they are already condemned. Then GOD will judge them based on how they lived their life based on these questions.

For the person who never heard of Jesus and did not have the opportunity to believe in Him, GOD will judge him based on how he lived his life based on these questions and according to the society they lived in.

GOD does not want any person to go to hell! That is why those who lived before Jesus were held in purgatory also called Abraham’s bosom until His death. After paying the price for every person’s sin who had ever lived, who was alive at that time and all who were and will be born afterwards; on the cross; He then went to hell and preached liberty to the captives and led those who believed in Him to eternal life. All those who lived and died before the cross were judged by the same standard that we will be judged by.

“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that  whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For GOD so loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. He did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Those who believe in Him are not condemned, but those who do not believe in the only begotten Son are condemned already. And this is the condemnation, that the Light came into the world but men rejected the Light because their hearts were evil.” John 3:14-19 my version
