In every believer's life, there are three days that stand
out above all others: the day of one's birth, the day of one's new birth, and
the day of one's judgment. Of those three, one's Day of Judgment is by far the
most significant. That day is what gives meaning to the other two.
The primary significance of your birth was that it set in
motion a life that would one day be judged by God. The primary significance of
your new birth was that it marked the beginning of a new life and lifestyle, which,
if continued, would result in inheriting eternal life at your
judgment.
"But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant." (Col 1:22, 23)
Think about how significant every person's Day of Judgment will
be. Those who rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord will on that day be banished
to hell, irreversibly. Unlike any previous day—from the day of birth to the day
of death—the Day of Judgment ends all opportunity for a sinner to repent.
This life serves as a test for every one of us. God gives us
a lifetime to make an eternal decision. Will we repent and believe in Jesus, or
will we continue in willful unbelief? Will we make Jesus our Lord or will we
continue to serve self and Satan? Our decision will determine if we perish in
hell or live forever in God's kingdom.
God once said to Daniel, as recorded in the final verse of
the book that bears his name: "As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance." (Dan. 12:13)
Just like Daniel, your divine destiny will ultimately be
realized in the future kingdom. What we do now, in this life, will have eternal
ramifications. There is, therefore, nothing more important than by trusting and
obeying God.
