Welcome to the In-Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, February 24th.

God promises to reward his followers for obedience and faithfulness.

Discover Dr. Stanley's insight on our eternal rewards.

You know, there are fortune tellers out there who say that they can predict their future,

and they either use some kind of a magic ball, or they look in the palm of your hand,

or look at the horoscope and tell you all about your life. How foolish. For the simple reason,

there is only one person who knows about your future, and that's Almighty God. All the rest of

this is fake, and many people are just anxious to hear something good that somebody can predict in their

life. Well, don't you find out what God says, and you can find out what He says if you read this word,

because God and God alone knows about your future. So I want to talk about

your future for a few moments. And I don't have to look in some crystal ball, read your palm,

or check your horoscope. All I have to do is to look into the simple word of the living God.

And this is one thing he says is in your future and mine and every one of us. And that is that one of

these days, you and I will stand in the presence of Jesus Christ. All of us who believers will stand in the

presence of Jesus Christ at the judgment seat of Christ. At that judgment, there will only be

believers there. Not only that, it will be a judgment of

rewards, not a judgment to find out whether we are saved or lost, but a judgment because we are

saved and because God does love us and because he has said that he would choose to reward us.

And so when God judges us, he's not going to judge us against other people

and what they accomplished or what they fail to accomplish. He knows us perfectly. He knows our

motives. He knows every single thing we've done. Those things that we've done before we

trusted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, a wiped out forever.
