🧐 How Do We ESCAPE God’s Judgment? 🔥

“There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1

Hey friends! Have you EVER thought about this before?? I mean, I know it’s a bit of a downer, but ….

We will ALL be judged by God. What you may not have thought about is that this is even true for believers 😬

Don’t believe me?? Check out how Paul describes the judgment that even BELIEVERS will face for things done while living a saved life in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15. There he describes how believers who are unwise and immoral will still be saved but “as through fire!” 🔥🔥🔥😱

OK, so what’s your point Pastor AJ? Well, my point is that this is not something to take lightly, ESPECIALLY as those who know we are saved. PLUS, this begs the question: What does REAL SAVING FAITH look like?? This just happens to be the topic of my new series I’ll be releasing THIS WEEK where I unpack what justification by faith alone meant in the EARLY CHURCH, looking at both the Apostles AND their disciples (aka the Apostolic Fathers)!

Don’t worry, I’ll provide a link next week … in the meantime, consider this: True, SAVING faith looks like something outwardly … and THIS just happens to be the answer to our question of exactly HOW we escape God’s ultimate judgment – through true, saving, living, breathing, life-changing faith that PRODUCES a Godly lifestyle!

No, we won’t be perfect. And, yes, all we need is faith, but that faith looks like Godly outward behavior. Friends, if you haven’t done so already, trust God with your life by placing your FAITH in him, meaning, that you are committed to live a lifestyle of faith-filled OBEDIENCE to his Word, with this kind of faith you will escape God’s judgment in this world and the next!

Application:

How would you define faith?

Do you think there is a counterfeit “faith”?

How do you know that you have NO CONDEMNATION in Christ Jesus?
