God is Listening

Most of us have had this false image burned in our minds that we will, after we die, have a conversation with God over our entrance into heaven. We will present out case of why we are good enough, and God sure will listen and agree. Some of us have seen movies where an actor stands before a personage of God; and, with great eloquence convinces God to let him or her into heaven, despite the obvious sins committed. The actor does the talking, God listens and will always turn a merciful hand to the sinner, who never really repents for anything.

Hogwash!

In a way we are talking to God and he is listening, but not with fancy words but by deeds. The way we live speaks loudly to God: how we treat people, how we treat ourselves, how we do business, etc. All aspects of life God listens to, and he takes note as well.

We do all our talking here, God does the talking and the deciding after death. We must abolish this silly notion that God really doesn’t care what I do as a sinner or a Christian. The sinner must be saved and the saved must live unto Christ. There is no in between and those who dare to try always find themselves in an unpromising condition.

God is listening. What are you saying to him?
