Resurrection
according to deeds:
John 5:29
29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a
resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a
resurrection of judgment.
I don’t know about you, but life
beats judgment for me. Now these good deeds are not just doing good works by
helping others (though it should include them). It’s obeying the Holy Spirit in
whatever He directs us to do. Obeying Him is the kind of deed that God wants us
to do. We can never do anything to earn our salvation or resurrection of life. However,
we should be leading the way by doing good to other believers and those around
us to bring them into the Kingdom.
We all have done wrong things, but
evil deeds are birthed in the kingdom of darkness. We don’t want to be
convicted of doing those kinds of deeds. They bring judgment at the End.
I am confident in you that you
haven’t done things that will bring you into judgment. Maybe your “old man”
did, but your new one hasn’t.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"There
is nothing to fear, if you walk in My Word. There is nothing to fear, if you
obey Me; for I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You shall have peace in no
other way. You shall have freedom in no other way; for this is the judgment of
the world … that they cannot walk in peace as long as they do not walk in My
Word. You are the light of the world, and they shall walk in darkness unless
you shine your light upon them. This is My light; that you walk in My Word.
Then you shall light their paths unto Me. They shall see your light; and just
like a moth is attracted to light, so they shall be attracted to your light as
you walk in My Word.”
79. I have done the
good deeds that will bring about a resurrection of life for me.
