Everyone Shall Give An Account To God

From the Pastor: Dr. M. J. Seymour, Sr.

“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” (Rom. 14:11-12)

Humans have always been obstinate brutish self-willed beasts. It is in the nature of their fleshly hearts and minds to despise the sovereign authority of Almighty God, their Creator. Mankind tramples through this world for the most part void of any serious considerations of his mortality and the eternal destiny of his soul. The vast majority are content living in rebellion to the laws of God. It is quite difficult for reprobated minds to grasp the reality of what sin really is and the inevitable condemnation for the love of sin. Lawlessness is the offspring of arrogant unbelief in brutish beasts. After all, if we do not believe there is a God then He really does not exist, right? If we believe God will not cast anyone into hell then He won’t, right? This God thing is just all a myth anyway, right?

Apostle Paul asked: “For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?”(Rom. 3:3) If one believes the earth is not round does that mean that the earth is not round? Believing has no influence on reality, whether one validates or disavows the existence of a reality does not alter reality.

The reality is that there is a sovereign eternal God that the heavens and the heavens cannot contain; He rules the heavens, the earth, and all that He has created. Not one person can opt-out of His sovereignty or being held accountable to His laws and commands.

In the day of the final eternal judgment the record books written in heaven will be opened, and all men will be judged according to their deeds inscribed within the records. “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”(Heb. 4:13) Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess and give an account of his life to God. In that day all will know the reality of it.
