The Bible tells us of a day when we will all appear before “the great tribunal of the white throne of Christ.” A day where every knee will bend and confess that Christ is the Lord. In that day there will be no great or small before God, since nothing and no one can compare with the radiance of His light and His holiness.
That day will reveal the true majesty of Christ, a majesty that today many ignore or diminish. The glory of God will be so great that every human argument, every doubt, and every rebellion will disappear instantly in the presence of the Almighty. Those who mocked, denied, or rejected His name will find out that the words of Scripture were truth from beginning to end. And those who believed, who walked by faith, who trusted in His grace, will finally see with their eyes the One whom they adored without ever having seen.
Many people today say that none of this is real, that there is no God, that we only exist and there is no more, but the truth is that one day we will all be face to face with God. For some it will be a fearsome day, because they spent their lives fleeing from Him; for others, it will be a day of indescribable joy, because they will finally behold the Savior they trusted.
The Bible says:
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Romans 14:11-13
All of us will give an account of ourselves one day before the sovereign God. There will be no excuses there, no hidden motives, no way to justify what was done in secret. God knows the intentions of the heart and the deepest thoughts, and before Him every life will be examined with perfect justice. For humanity, it will be a fearsome day because nothing will be hidden; yet at the same time, it will be wonderful because God will judge with righteousness, wisdom, and holiness.
This reality should lead us to live with reverence. The apostle Paul reminds us that, because each one of us will give an account, we must be careful not to become a stumbling block for others. Instead of judging our brothers harshly, we should help them, encourage them, and walk in love. Knowing that we will stand before God should produce humility and a sincere desire to honor Him in everything we do.
We give glory to God because we have been reached, but at the same time we pray for those who do not yet know God, who refuse to believe in Him. We ask that the merciful God pick them up, open their understanding, and allow them to recognize that Christ is the Lord. Only His grace can transform a hardened heart, and only His Spirit can lead a person to repentance and faith.
May our lives reflect the hope we have in that great day. And may the Lord draw many more to Himself, so that when every knee bows and every tongue confesses, they may do so with joy and not fear.

Nice thanks
Every one shall give account to God
========================
In a world where most people deny the existence of God, where nobody wants to speak about a judgment of God in any way, the reality is manifested by God’s Word:
“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.”
Romans 14:11-12
We—that is, those who believe in a God and Lord of all, and who accept what the Holy Scripture teaches the world—yes, we wait in some way for that day of judgement, because then it will be confirmed that the Lord God reigns and Jesus Christ is the Lord, for the Father’s glory.
All children of God will celebrate that the enemies of God will be humiliated, and everyone shall be judged and will have to recognize their sins before the Lord Jesus Christ, and we too, since “every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God,” said the Lord.
We must give thanks to God because we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He has justified us before the Father; he has covered our iniquities. We have been covered with justice and holiness by the sacrifice of our Lord on the Cross.
“My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
1 John 2:1
May the name of Jesus Christ be praised for evermore.
