Judgement Revealed

I am sure we remember the days when Mom or Dad would say "if you do that, you will be sent to your room". They were teaching you what their judgement would be before they implemented into your life.

God also wants us to know about his judgement that will be coming into our life. Before the Lord's judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah He revealed to Abraham what was headed their way. Abraham was chosen to teach his children. Teaching children that actions as consequences is an important step in their development.

Genesis 18:16-21 16 Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. 17 The Lord said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed? 19 "For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him." 20 And the Lord said, " The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21 "I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know." NAS

The Lord was heading to Sodom and Gomorrah to examine and judge them. But not before he revealed to Abraham that judgement was heading their way.

Are you prepared for judgement in your life?

Ps 9:8 And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. NASU
1 Peter 4:5-6 5 but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God. NASU
