Accountable to Whom?

As two convicts were being escorted to trial, one turned to the other and pleaded: ‘I’m a good bloke! I’ve helped so many people! I’m a respectable citizen! Ya gotta believe me!’ The fellow convict replied: ‘Why you telling me? Even if I believe you’re the “Humanitarian of the Year”, it ain’t gonna help one bit with the judge.’ Why do we feel compelled to justify our spiritual lives to fellow believers? When we die, we give an account to God alone. Most Christians know this, yet still vainly justify their actions to peers in an attempt to be respectable. The truth is people will think what they want – no matter what we do or say. Just because people think the worst of us, doesn’t mean God does. Alternatively, just because we have convinced many people we’re saints – doesn’t mean God agrees. Being right with people isn’t the same as being right with God. We are all sinners, God judges us on the basis of the Cross, grace and His perfect works, not on our relative righteousness. (Isaiah 64:6) A great burden is lifted when we stop trying to justify ourselves and hold ourselves accountable solely to God. There is no need to worry about Him misunderstanding us. He knows the truth – and that very fact should ‘set us free’. (John 8:32)#GHCE

#blastfromthepastseries If you suffer for doing good this is commendable...1 Peter 2:20 NIV Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will… stamp on my heart with lead boots.😞 So how do you just get on with your life with a size ten studded footprint in your soul? Well, let’s take a look at the Son of God, giving sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf and raising children from the dead—and what thanks does He get? ‘Devil child!’ ‘He’s possessed—by Satan,!’ Hmm Yet Jesus refuses to back down. He continues to heal and help. He knows what He is here for and nothing will deter Him from it. When you know what you’re here for, you’ll do the same. People are entitled to their opinions but it doesn’t mean they’re right. Yes, they can mock you. But between you and God, you know the truth. Jesus didn’t try to look good; He was good. He didn’t try to be truthful; He was truth. Despite leading this blameless life, He still faced insult. His followers did too, and they followed in His steps: ‘The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name [of Jesus].’ (Acts 5:41 NIV) Words are important and they can hurt. But. God’s words about you are true, and as you go through day to day life, you can probably see why it’s worth having them handy. If you’re being insulted or accused by people—pray for them. Pray blessings for them. Why? Because it’s the Jesus way. (And it’s a pretty powerful one.)
