For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 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. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. Romans 14:9-13
Jesus Christ Is Lord! This should be the foundational belief of every Christian, Jesus should be the Master of your life, because Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead on the 3rd day, defeating sin and death forever! Chirist is Lord of both the dead and the living, so why do you pretend that you are The Lord? We seen this yesterday in the comments sections, Christians condemning other Christians for the days they worship on or the foods they eat, do you not read the teachings given to us by the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit?
Paul reveals “For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ” Everyone will stand before Jesus and give an account for their life, including myself, are you ready? “every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” (Matthew 12:36) Lets stop condemning your brother and sister in Christ, because its going to condemn you! Its one thing to teach and correct, its another thing to condemn your brother and sister as if they are a child of the devil.
The reality is this, “Every knee shall bow to Christ, and every tongue confess to God” As the Apostle Paul reveals “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth” (Philippians 2:10) I want you to notice here, every knee will bow to Jesus, including everyone in Hell (under the Earth) will bow to The Lord , every knee in Heaven, every angel and demon including Satan, every human good and evil, will submit to The Lord Jesus Christ!
“and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11) Not only will every creature that ever existed bow to Jesus, but every creature will acknowledge Christ Is Lord! Every creature, including ourselves, will confess that Jesus Christ is ruler , Creator, Master, and God over everything including ourselves! Are you ready to bow to The Lord Jesus Christ?
Knowing that Christ Is Lord, the Apostle Paul pleads “Let us not therefor judge one another anymore” (v13) Jesus Christ Is Lord, we are not, bow to the King of all Kings, The Lord of All Lords, submit to our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,(Titus 2:13) Amen!
