· (4b) Responsible to advocate God’s cause Ø
Being accountable to the Judgment of God – these verses go along
with verse12. Perhaps being a missionary or a pastor or a deacon in a church
is the last thing in your mind, but the Bible says that everyone is going to
advocate God’s cause in one way or another, if not on earth or in heaven,
then somewhere else. If you have money, you can buy about anything, except
your health. When that goes and you are buried, none of your money will mean
anything. Other people will selfishly spend it on themselves most likely
without even thinking about you. God considers this fair, because everyone
is going to give an account to God for what they have done and said, even if
the notion never occurred to them once while they were alive in the flesh.
You had a good, easy life, while your neighbor struggled in his faith. Both
are fair to God; in fact nothing will be unfair after He is done sifting it
all out.
