ACCOUNTABILITY
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:12
All men living today are under one of three things: The blood of Christ Jesus, The Law of Moses or the law written in their hearts.
Rom 2:11-16 For there is no respect of persons with God. (12) For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (13) (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. (14) For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: (15) Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) (16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Here are two lines: ————– or _/\_/\_/\_ one is straight and one is crooked.
Now if you can tell the difference you have condemned yourself, you have no excuse.
The moment you can judge between what is straight or crooked, right or wrong, good or evil you have cut your own throat. For there is not a person alive who has not done crooked, wrong and evil things. I have meet infidels who belittle the Bible, but the moment they are shorted on their pay check, someone lies about them or their mate is unfaithful they cry. Thou shall not steal, thou shall not bear false witness or thou shall not commit adultery.
The only time they do not cry foul is when it is to their advantage. The biggest hypocrites are those that reject the Scriptures. For if there is no right or wrong then it is O.K. for someone to rape your wife or kill your mother, tell that to an evolutionist with his law of the jungle.
GUILT
Burdens of weight, oceans of shame
Self condemnations, fingers of blame
Lurking and waiting for just the right time
Lest one should forget, guilt will remind
II
There is an archer, prepare to strike
One arrow, an oracle your wrong not right
Shields of justification quickly display
Mount your defenses, memorize what to say
III
Manufacture some armor, weapon in hand
Gird up your loins…arise and stand
An outbreak of battle soon will begin
Too late to discern a traitor within
IV
It knows all my weakness, it has an ally
Guilt now enters to dethrone alibi
Who let it in, Oh who can it be?
My own voice cries out, it is conscience!
It is me.
God has not only sentenced you, but you have condemned your self and agreed with his judgement.
We Christians agree with God also and trusted another to take our well-deserved punishment in HELL.
And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Rev 1:5
