"Remember, the sins of some people are obvious, leading them to certain judgement. There are others whose sin 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 obvious to everyone, Tiger Woods comes to mind. These sins will lead them to certain judgement. Unless their sin is confessed to Jesus Christ and forgiven, the consequences can be eternal. This One Truth Today tells us that some sins are known only to God, but they will be revealed later. The same principal applies, if the sin is not confessed and forgiven it will have consequences. We must be faithful to confess all of our sins to the Lord and seek His Mercy and forgiveness. Everything that we have done in the dark will be seen in His light. What we have whispered in secret will be shouted from the house tops. Only the Lord can solve this problem.
Some good deeds are obvious and conspicuous. They are known to everyone. Other good deeds are done in secret and are known only to the person doing the good deed. Your left hand may not know what your right hand is doing. No good deed can be hidden from God and they will someday come to light and their will be a reward for them. In fact this is one of the best ways to build up treasures in Heaven. The seeds that you cast out in this life time will return to you, some a hundred fold. The good deed done in the dark will be seen in the Light of the Lord!
So what is it Timothy and the Word of God are trying to teach us in this scripture? There will be no hidden sin from God. Their will be no good deed that God does not know about. If you have sinned and believe that no one will know about it, you are wrong. God knows and you had better confess the sin to Him and ask for His forgiveness and His Mercy. The Lord is faithful to forgive all of our sins if we just confess them to Him. At the time of judgement all of this will be revealed. That is why sinners need a Saviour and that if Jesus Christ the Lord God. If you have any sins that fit this description, you should confess them right now and ask for forgiveness. The Lord will acknowledge all hidden good deeds at the time of judgement and you will be rewarded by Him. Be encouraged by the One Truth Today!
