Have you attended a funeral and heard someone share something about the person who passed that was not known? Often it is of unique interest, honoring, or a bit amusing. If you contemplate that happening at your own funeral, you might be tempted to think, “I’ll be gone, and I don’t care what they know about me at that point.” However, there will be a time when we will care what is revealed. 

“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ” (Romans 14:10).

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:11-12).

Even if we are saved by the blood, our actions will be revealed and judged. Nothing will be hidden, no secret sins that are not revealed. Oh my brothers, let us walk to please the One Who purchased us with His blood. 

“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more” (1 Thessalonians 4:1).
