YOU WILL STAND ALONE THAT DAY

by Neema Joshua | 26 June 2020 08:46 pm06

May the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed. Welcome as we learn fundamental truths for our journey in this earthly life. The Bible says the world is passing away along with its desires (1 John 2:17). One day, the day of judgment will come, and each person will give an account of themselves (Romans 14:12).

Many do not realize that on the day of judgment, every individual will stand alone before the judgment seat—without anyone beside them. You will stand alone, without your parents, without your sisters, brothers, or any relatives. Neither your parents nor your relatives will stand with you. Each person will stand by themselves and give their own account.

If you have lived a life deserving of judgment, you will be judged accordingly. Hell is an immense place—too vast to compare with this world. There is no room to share; it is bigger than this entire earth.

Consider this: even our current world’s population is not enough to fill a fraction of the uninhabited wilderness found just a few kilometers away from you. Hell, however, is many times greater than this world. It has ample room for all who will be cast there.

The bible declares that hell never fills and is never satisfied by those who enter it.

Proverbs 30:15-16

“The leech has two daughters, crying, ‘Give! Give!’ There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

16 Sheol (the grave/hell), and the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough.’”

Personal Accountability

Remember this when you gather in meetings of the Word of God, even if thousands are present: God does not speak to the crowd collectively but speaks to you personally. When God gives a warning, it is as though He is speaking to one individual—not many.

Let us reflect on the Ten Commandments God gave to Moses for the children of Israel. Each commandment sounds as if God is speaking to one person. Let us read:

Exodus 20:2-3

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 You shall have no other gods before me.”

Notice God says, “I brought you out,” not “I brought you all out.” He is addressing one person at a time.

Continuing with the second commandment:

Exodus 20:4

“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth.”

Again, God says “you shall not make” — addressing the individual, not a group.

So when you see many people worshiping idols, do not justify yourself by saying, “Since many do it, it’s okay.” God will judge you alone, because in this command, He is speaking to you personally.

All the other commandments follow the same pattern — “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” and so on — each directed personally, not collectively.

On the day of judgment, if you have sinned with someone else, you will not stand with them, nor will you see them there. You will be judged individually and cast into the lake of fire, where you will stand alone. You will not hear their voice or have their company — you will be alone.

Deceptions of Satan

Satan’s great scheme is to deceive people into thinking that because many sin, God will not judge all of them. He wants you to believe God will show mercy to the crowd because of their numbers.

But remember the flood in Noah’s days: some may have thought God would not judge the world and save only Noah’s family, but when the flood came, all perished except Noah’s household. The rest are now in hell, awaiting final judgment and casting into the lake of fire.

Also, Satan comforts people with lies that even if one dies in sin and goes to hell, the saints on earth can pray them out of hell and bring them to paradise. This is a lie from the enemy—do not be deceived!

If you die today in sin and end up in hell, you will never come out. You are lost forever.

Job 7:9-10

“As the cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return.

10 He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.”

A Call to Repentance

Child of God, listen to this warning from God’s Word today. Do not dress in ways that the world does and say, “Because many do it, it’s okay,” whether it is the preacher or your friends. Hear God’s Word today: On that day, you will stand alone! Your preacher will not be there, your friends will not be there, and I will not be there either.

It will be you, Him, and the book of His words—the book of your life.

If you are a young person who loves football and makes it your god, spending 90 minutes watching it, yet you close your eyes when the Word of God is preached for only ten minutes—remember God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3). This command is spoken directly to you.

Today is the Day of Salvation

Repent today if you have not yet repented. Few days remain before the rapture of the saints from the earth. Any moment now the last trumpet will sound, and the saints will be caught up to heaven, leaving behind the great tribulation of the Antichrist and the fearful judgment of the Day of the Lord.

Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ with full immersion water baptism, receive the forgiveness of your sins, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Hell is real!

Maranatha! (Come Lord Jesus!)
