accountability

Hebrews 4
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful.

      It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.

   It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God.

     Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes,
  
 and he is the one to whom we are accountable.



14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.

15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses,

     for he faced all of the same testings we do,

yet he did not sin.

16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.

There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.



We have a lot of warm & fuzzy thinking about God

And true, He is the essence of love, & wants us to think of Him as a father.

But let's not forget Who we're hooked up with...
   His holiness would incinerate us if we stood before Him.
   He knows everything.
   He has always been.
   He will always be.
   He just has to think it & the universes are created.


And He knows everything about us.


And one day, you & I will stand before Him.


Thank the Lord there's Jesus to speak up for us.
