Many of the things we have done we would like to forget, because we are ashamed of what we did. God says, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:1010For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)). There was only one Person who always did what was right. He said, “Which of you convinceth Me of sin?” Never did He do one thing wrong; He was holy.
On the other hand, man departed from God and immediately fell into sin through disobedience. How much sorrow has been brought into the world as a result! There is only one way that we can have our sinful past cleared before God. Someone had to die for our sins. Romans 5:66For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6) says, “When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Aren’t you glad that verse is in the Bible? Otherwise, there would be no hope for us, for we could never stand before God on the ground of what we have done. Each one of us knows that we “have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” but, praise God, “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)). Have you received Him as your own personal Saviour? What will your answer be when God asks you, “What hast thou done?”
