“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops” (Luke 12:2-3).
Here the Word of God clearly tells us that everything we say or do is going to come out someday, in one way or another. God sometimes brings sin to light even in this world, but not always. For believers, if we have sinned and have not confessed it to the Lord, God may have to bring it up at what is called the judgment seat of Christ for believers. Our sins will not be brought up for punishment, but rather we will lose a reward we might otherwise have had.
On the other hand, those who are not saved and who die without Christ will be brought before God at what is called the “great white throne,” and the Bible tells us that “they were judged every man according to their works” (Revelation 20:13). This is a very serious thing to think about.
Let us remember our verses for today whenever we are tempted to do or say something wrong, and to remember that God knows all about it.
