“The Day Of Reckoning”
Monday, May 12, 2025Key Verse
“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12).
Text —Romans 14:11-13
Message
Reckoning can be defined as the avenging or punishing of past mistakes or misdeeds. The day of reckoning therefore refers to the day of judgement when everyone will give account of all actions committed in their lifetime. This is where God will decree the destiny of every human being according to the good and evil of their earthly lives. Hence David Ausburger said, “The imperfection of justice in this life is the strongest proof that in the next world justice and vengeance will be fulfilled to the utmost.”
God will summon the great and small, young and old, men and women from all walks of life to account for how they had lived their lives. Christian youths are therefore advised to live their everyday lives with the day of reckoning in view. God’s word says, “As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Think of what will be your lot when you die? Are you born again? Give your life to Christ now if you are not. Believers should preach to warn sinners of that dreadful day.
