"Remember, the sins of some people are obvious, leading them to certain judgement. There are others whose sins will not be revealed until later. In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious. The good deeds done in secret will someday come to light".
The sins of some people are so obvious that everyone can see and know about them. Adolph Hitler comes to mind. We can all conclude that these sins will lead to a certain judgement by God. All sins unless they are confessed to Jesus Christ and forgiven will lead to judgement. The One Truth Today tells us that some sins are secret and known only to God. These hidden sins will be revealed at the judgement and are known to God. Nothing is hidden from the Lord. That is why it is good advice to confess all of your sins to the Lord and ask for His forgiveness!
The Lord will show us mercy and forgive all of our sins if we are faithful to confess them. Everything done in the dark will be seen in the Light of the Lord. What we have thought or whispered will be shouted from the housetops! Are you prepared to meet the Lord right now?
In a like manner, some good deeds are not conspicuous and are unknown to others. Most of our good deeds are known and evident to others. There are those that the right hand does that the left hand is unaware of and are done in secret. Even these good deeds can not be hidden from an Omnipotent God. These good deeds will be revealed at the time of judgement and they will not go unrewarded. All of our deeds will become manifest and evident and will be revealed at the judgement seat. Are you building up treasures in heaven, or are you hiding your sins in the hope they will never be revealed?
Nothing you have done in your entire life will be done in a void. Even if no living person has knowledge of your actions, the Lord knows. Your actions will return to you and the hope is that they will be good and not evil. So if your good deeds or sins are done in secret they will all be revealed and judged. Depending on whether you have been forgiven of your sins, and acknowledged for your good deeds, your reward will be in equal proportion to your actions. Do your good deeds NOW. Confess your sins NOW. Prepare yourself for the certain time of judgement!
