Judgement House and the Righteousness of God
Image by phil dowsing via Flickr I imagine that when someone dies and stands in judgment before God, he or she will finally understand God’s righteousness.
Have you ever been to a Judgment House? Basically, A Judgment House is the Christian alternative to a Haunted House. You are led through a church seeing a different scene for each room. The story line usually goes something like this:
1. Christian family having breakfast together
2. Drunk teenagers at a party decide to go get some more beer
3. Horriffic car accident. 4 teenagers dead, 2 of the family members in critical condition.
4. Hospital young boy of family dies from injuries sustained in car crash
5. Heaven-standing in judgment before God.
One of the teenagers stands before god and as God is looking through the Book of Life, she says, “I was a good person. I went to church. I just know my name has to be in there. I volunteered at the local homeless shelter. I have money for missions…” She begins to cry out desperately as Satan’s angels are dragging her to Hell. She cries out to God, trying to convince Him of her holiness.
I think that when we stand before God, we will fully realize His righteousness, and if we are able to speak at all, there will only be two possible answers:
“I trust in the blood of Jesus to save me”
Or
“Poor wretched sinner that I am.”
I don’t think we will even bother trying to rationalize our sins before God because when we know his holiness, we will understand our unrighteousness.
