The day of reckoning, when everyone shall give an account of their life, is coming. It doesn’t matter who you were or what you claimed to be—we shall all give an account of our lives to God (see 2 Corinthians 5:10).
God has a purpose for creating us in His image and likeness: to serve and glorify Him. Revelation 4:11 says, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and for Your pleasure they were created.”
If your life isn’t glorifying God, then you don’t belong to Him. We can’t serve God while living in sin. A life of sin can’t please or glorify God—sin is an abomination to Him. 1 John 3:8 says, “He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
God seeks true worshippers, not hypocrites, to serve Him. John 4:23 says, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship Him.”
Dear reader, are you fulfilling the purpose for which you were created by God? Is your life pleasing to God? Remember, someday you’ll give an account of your life to God. If you’re living in sin, repent and give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ before it’s too late.
Pray this prayer of repentance and believe in your heart that your sins have been forgiven:
“Heavenly Father, I acknowledge my sins before You. Please have mercy on me and forgive all my sins. Write my name in the Book of Life and give me grace to serve You to the end, in Jesus’ name.”
If you’ve prayed this prayer, take these necessary steps:
Set your mind on things above (Colossians 3:2).
Find a Bible-believing church near you and attend regularly (Hebrews 10:25).
Live a holy life (Hebrews 12:14).
Study the Word of God daily (2 Timothy 2:15).
Be prayerful (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
