"Common Denominator of All Men"
Heb 9:27 And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:
This is the one verse in The Bible that you never hear someone
give an opion on, you never hear someone preach a sermon on it,
you never hear someone say ."Well you have taken that verse
out of context. Everyone just seems to take it as a fact WHY????
Because it is being proven right before your eyes every day.
Two things I want you to see in this verse . 1. Is death 2. is
judgment and judgment always follows death.
1. Death is the common denominator of all man kind it is the only
verse in scripture that is, Love is not common to all men, hate is
not, Joy, peace, giving, faith, none are all common to man. But
when it comes to death all men and all things die. The Bible say
all things in this world have come to pass. all your problems. All
your heartaches. all your sorrow anything that is a burden to you
has come to pass. Death ends everything, except the Judgment.
"Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin"
Do you realize what that verse is saying to you, When you are in
the grave you cannot sin against God any more, neither can you do
good for him any more, in the grave your destiny is settled
forever. There is only one other thing left and that my dear
friend is JUDGMENT
2. Judgment, Is far worse than death if you have never been saved
you are already judged, the world is already judged. It was judged
back in Gen.3:17-21. God has not lifted that judgment from the
earth yet, He has made a way for man to escape that judgment and
even then the Christian will still face judgment at the judgment
seat of Christ. All men will face somekind of judgment. The sinner
is already judged and the Christian will be judged for the way he
has lived his life after he accepted Christ as his Lord and
saviour. Death is only the door to judgment, People try all their
life to fool man into thinking that somehow they are going to
escape judgment, Judas did He was one of the twelve, and he might
have fooled Peter, James and John. But he did not fool Jesus
Christ and you wont either. God knows the heart of Man.
better than man knows his heart. And some Christians will get
saved and then think they know more than God and will push the
Holy Spirit back into the corner of their heart and go on living
the way they want, and think they are getting away with it, BUT,
Judgment Day is coming for every human being that ever lived on
this planet.
I don't think any of us are ever really ready for that Judgment
Day, We think we are!!!! and we try to do every thing right, but
when it comes right down to it, is there something in your life
that you know you have not given to God, what is the truth of your
life. What is in that hidden closet of your heart, How much of
your life have you Given to God. Can you stand before him today
without shame, there is not one of us in here than can. "All
have sinned and come short of the Glory of God". So I say,
Get as close and as clean as you can now. Now is the time to get
saved or come clean before God. you might have to meet him today.
