For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body (II Corinthians 5:10).
There has been much concern expressed, by liberals and conservatives alike, about government surveillance of American citizens. We should be concerned. Though we would like to trust the government because it is to be a government of the rule of law, we know that the government has violated the law to intimidate, to limit criticism and to cover up unlawful and incompetent behavior. I have known for a long time that even this humble little blog has been monitored by the government.
As concerned as we should be about government intrusion into our lives, there is One who is constantly aware of what we are doing; even what we are thinking. One day we will have to give an accounting to Him. The Creator of an infinite universe, in terms of its expanse, will have no problem dealing justly with all your thoughts and actions. Everything you thought was private will be made public and a just punishment will be required. While that is frightening, we do know that God is just, we can trust Him to keep His word. Those who belong to Christ will find salvation only because they belong to Christ and, as a result, live lives devoted to Him in this present life.
As concerned as you might be about government surveillance of your life, you should be even more concerned that God knows everything, even your very thoughts. Do you belong to Jesus?
Our Father's Love,
Tom
