TOPIC VERSE – Romans 2:15-16

15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

In this verse, we can see that the day will come when the secrets of men will be judged according to the gospel of God and all the secrets will come out on the day of judgment.

Hebrews: 9.27

“…..So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment“.

Here, two things are definitely said to happen to humans:

      1) Death is for all men.

      2) Judgment is for all men.

Likewise, he already came once for sinners. But, he will no longer come for sinners.

For instance: The two thieves who were with Jesus on the cross.

Matthew: 28:18-19 – What is God’s desire for us here on earth?

“18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,“

1) Preach the gospel to every man.

2)Baptize those who believe the gospel in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3)Make disciples of all by doing whatever God has commanded you to do.

 2 Timothy 3:16 – Usefulness of the Bible

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

2 Timothy 3:12 – Christians and persecution

“In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted”

It can be seen that the people who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

God will give to us the rewards and remuneration for what we do in Jesus name. That’s why Bible says that… “the wages are in His hand and the reward is with Him”
