David stated: Have mercy on me, O God, because of your
unfailing love. Because of your great
compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. (Psalms 51:1 NLT).
You might think: but I have confessed my sins, repented and I am
now righteous before God. You are righteous but beware
of over confidence.
31
“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then
he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered in
his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep
from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at
his left.
34
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my
Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35
For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was
a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me
clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited
me.’
37
“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry
and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and
show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see
you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
41
“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you
cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. 42
For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me
a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was
naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you
didn’t visit me.’
44
“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’
45
“And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least
of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
46
“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into
eternal life.” (Matthew 25:31-46 NLT).
Beware
of over confidence. Remember, it is
sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. (James 4:17 NLT). Are you a repeat offender?
