Escaping the Judgment Day
Romans 1:20
Have you ever wondered about the ultimate judgment day, where all of humanity is gathered before the living God?
It’s a thought-provoking question, isn’t it? Well, let me tell you something: nobody will be able to say, “I didn’t know!” When that final judgment comes, there won’t be a single person who can claim ignorance, because the evidence is all around us.
You see, the heavens themselves declare the glory of God, and His handiwork is evident in every corner of creation. There is no speech or language where God’s voice is not heard. His invisible attributes, His eternal power, and divine nature have been clearly perceived since the creation of the world.
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse,” (Romans 1:20).
Deep down, each and every one of us knows that there is a God. We know the difference between right and wrong. And we know that a judgment awaits us. It’s not something we need to rationalize or debate; it’s ingrained in our very nature. We are all aware.
But here’s the kicker: despite this knowledge, we often find ourselves making excuses to continue in our sinful ways. We know the truth, yet we choose to ignore it. And let me tell you, my friends, these sins we cling to are worthy of death.
In fact, the Bible says, “and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them,” (Romans 1:32).
Now, I don’t say all of this to bring you down or to instill fear. Quite the opposite, actually. I want to offer you hope. You see, there is no pleasure in death or sin. But there is a way out, a way to escape the judgment that awaits us. And that way is through Jesus Christ, who willingly bore the weight of our sins on the cross.
If you turn to Him, if you place your faith and trust in Christ, then judgment holds no power over you. It’s the only way, my friends. By accepting the sacrifice of Christ and believing in Him, you can have eternal life with the Father. The weight of sin will be lifted, and you will be set free.
Remember, nobody will be without excuse on that final day of judgment. But with Christ as your advocate, you can stand confident and secure. The choice is yours.
