Evaluation day

If you work for a company that does employee evaluations, you may not always be comfortable! Hopefully you’ve done enough to get a good review. Did you realize that we are moving toward the greatest of all evaluation days?

Romans 14:10-12 says, “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 … So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” How will you be evaluated?Admittedly, it is unfair to evaluate someone without them knowing the parameters of their performance. The New Testament tells us what we have to watch in order to be evaluated and have an eternal home.

In the day of judgment, we will be evaluated by our words (Matthew 12:37), our deeds (2 Corinthians 5:10), our thoughts (Matthew 5:27-28), what we see (Matthew 6:22-23), what we hear (Revelation 2:7), our liberality (2 Corinthians 9:6-8), and by what we fail to do in God’s service (James 4:17).

Children of God are new creatures in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). They have to live up to the expectations of a gracious God who has forgiven them of their sins. Are you ready to perform so you can be evaluated and judged righteous in the last day?
