all things done in the dark shall come to light

If you’re living in sin you’re condemned already, but Jesus came that He might bring salvation and forgiveness.įaith in Jesus Christ as the Savior is the only “step” to salvation. There is nothing covered that will not be revealed, however, there is good news, because Jesus said in John 3:17, I didn’t come to condemn the world. In this ministry we want our thoughts, motives, attitudes and desire to be pure. Therefore, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy without holiness no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14) No wonder Paul tells us to set our minds on things above because, not only does our character and our actions stem from our motives and the desires of our heart, but there is coming a day when God’s judgment will reach into the secret recesses of the heart. Every hidden desire, every lust, every passion, every motive, every rebellion, every attitude, every thought of the heart will be revealed. But a day is coming when every private thought will be exposed. The words that come out of our mouths, the places that we go the actions that people see us do. Today we are judged by others simply according to what we do. If we guard what we allow to enter our mind our life is going to be so much better and most important of all, it will be pure and pleasing to God. Paul tells us in Philippians 4:8 to think on the things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report virtuous, and praise-worthy. Be careful how you present yourself and be careful what you say. You will be held accountable one day, so be careful what you allow into your mind.

And Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:28 “ that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. In Psalm 94:11 we read that the Lord knows the thoughts of men. The Lord knows exactly what we’re thinking every moment of every day, because, “ The Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought” ( 1 Chronicles 28:9).

Where will you stand on that Day of Judgment? Will you be condemned by your words? Or will you be acquitted by them? The truth is, whether you believe it or not, every one of your whispered words, those that you think no one hears but those to whom they are directed, will be echoed loudly in the judgment hall of God. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Jesus said in Matthew 12:36-37, “ but I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every empty word they have spoken. Every time you gossip it is heard and recorded. Your lies are being heard and recorded in heaven.Įvery time you say something unkind it is recorded. What you have whispered to someone behind closed doors will be shouted from the rooftops.ĭid you know that every word you say is being recorded in heaven? The Bible clearly teaches that liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. In verse 3 we read: What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. However, while sin may go unnoticed by man, we can be assured that it does not go unnoticed by our Sovereign God and one day we will be judged accordingly, either at the Judgment Seat of Christ or at the Great White Throne Judgment. Many think that they can get away with things as long as nobody finds out about them. They look good on the outside and have the appearance of a Christian, but when they are alone they are engaging in things that are sinful and wrong. There are many people in the church today who are claiming to be a follower of Jesus, but who are covering up their secret sins. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:10 that “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his reward, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” And Romans 2:6 tells us that God will render to each man according to his deeds. Even things that we do in secret and that only we know about, which we think is well hidden will be made known. In these verses Jesus is clearly telling us that nothing that we do is concealed from God and everything will be disclosed. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
