Yet to Come

Have you thought about what lies beyond this mortal flesh? Do you realize that we all will one day stand before Jesus Christ? After time is declared no more all will be judged. Now there are different judgment seats listed in the Scripture but in simplicity all will be judged. My question is on what basis do you want to be judged? Do you want to be judged on your deeds? Have we not all failed? Is anyone perfect? God tells us that His standard of entrance into His eternal presence is perfection. Okay how many of us have stolen? Lied? Been angry without cause? With only three questions of the many we could ask I dare say all of mankind is included in this list that would exclude all from perfection. So if we are not perfect and God's standard is perfection do you want to be judged on your works? Or would you rather be judged on mercy? Scripture tells us that their is mercy with the Lord, yet so many want to stand on their own, and stand on their own they will before God Almighty at which time they will receive the judgment of God and be cast into everlasting torment. I on the other hand would rather stand before God with Christ so that before the Almighty pronounces judgment upon me for my sinful failure and wickedness Christ may say "I have paid for his sin with my blood" with which the complete realization of the mercy of God will be realized for me and instead of everlasting judgment Almighty God will say "enter into my presence, my son." I am not perfect even after accepting the mercy of Jesus Christ and His payment for my sin however, their is mercy with my Lord Jesus Christ. What will you do? Will you stand alone, or will you stand in mercy?
