How Valuable is Your Faith

Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Summary

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, God will evaluate our lives based on eternal value rather than outer appearance. Dr. Tony Evans emphasizes that God examines four key areas: our works, our secret thoughts and desires, our spoken words, and our overall dependability. True faith requires actively involving God in every daily decision, producing a authentic lifestyle that stands the test of eternity.

Sermon Moments

“The moment you attach God to life decisions on the foundation of Jesus Christ, you've now established value in your existence.”

“God is not going to miss details of things done to which He was attached, down to a cup of cold water given in His name.”

“Jesus Christ is a part of every conversation; every time you talk to somebody, God is taping the conversation.”

“God's got a lot of children who show up for special days, but when it comes to consistently walking with Him, they are not dependable.”

“On that day, He will turn it inside out to see whether it was gold or gold-plated, diamond or cut glass, real leather or pleather.”

“God has got a lot of fake Christians who look christianese on the outside, but on that day, it will be revealed as a Christian knockoff.”

This Week

Intentionally invite God into your everyday decisions this week to ensure your routine actions carry eternal weight.
Reflect on your daily speech and ask God to help you refrain from careless words, complaining, or profanity.
Guard your inner thoughts and heart motives, bringing hidden desires into alignment with God's truth.
Commit to consistent faithfulness in your local church and daily Christian walk, avoiding inconsistent attendance or service.
Perform practical acts of service in Jesus' name, knowing that God notices and values even small acts of kindness.
Evaluate your priorities to ensure you are building on Christ with durable eternal material rather than temporal pursuits.
Ask God to search your heart and remove any spiritual pretense so that your faith is authentic both publicly and privately.

Remember This

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, God will evaluate our works, thoughts, words, and dependability to reveal whether our faith was genuine and eternally valuable.

A Challenge for You

Live as the real deal every day by allowing God to direct your works, words, thoughts, and faithfulness, ensuring your life holds true eternal value.
