"We may have confidence in the day of judgment," 1 John 4:17.
Ah. Judgment day. Big day. Big, big day. Coming soon. Coming to a theatre near you. In fact, you'll be on stage. Conscience gets to explain the way you lived life. To God. Who judges whether it was wasted. Or not. Ready for it? Want to have confidence for it? Good news: the Bible gives the sure fire way to assurance. Fearless. Boldness even, on that stage. So here it is - be like God in this world. That's it. No fear. Whoa! Hold on! To be like God!? Easy peasy: Love your brother/sister. (gotta be true love, right?) Yep. That's it. Oh, yeah, and confess Jesus as the Son of God. That's it. Well, and receive God's Spirit. There you go. Oh, and abide in God. That's pretty much it.
So today we boldly go where few have gone before; we will visit with a brother or sister. And together we will give thanks to God who loves us and shows us how to love. And we live like Jesus in this world. Confident through judgment. Into eternity.
