Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday, February 19th.

Eternity is a settled matter for Christians, but one day we will all stand before God.

What will that moment be like?

Let's learn more about it in the judge and the judgment.

The Bible is very clear about the idea of judgment. And the scripture says

that there is a judgment seat that is a judgment for believers and there is a judgment for

unbelievers. The judgment seat of Christ is for believers only. The great white throne judgment is for

unbelievers. What we're talking about in this message is when

children of God, when those of us who call ourselves Christians followers of Jesus when we leave this

earth and we leave this world and we stand before him, what is he going to be like? And so what I want

to talk about in this message is the judge and the judgment.

And this is the second message in our series entitled Countdown to Judgment.

And if you'll recall, we mentioned this, that the day that you were born, at that very moment, the countdown began.

From that moment on, our time in this life gets shorter and shorter and shorter.

We think about it getting longer and longer, but the truth is it gets shorter and shorter.

And so once you trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, the countdown is going.

And so from that moment on, we should be living a godly life. What happens when we don't?

What happens when we do? That's what the judgment is all about. With that in mind, let's think about

this. What's the purpose of judgment anyway? Well, the purpose, first of all, is to reveal our true

nature. That's why we are there. There was, it would really not be fair, first of all, is to reveal our true nature. That's why we are there.

That was, it would really not be fair, humanly speaking, for God to say,

here's my judgment upon you, and this is what's going to happen.
