“36I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” – Matthew 12:36-37 (ESV)
Jesus is speaking to the religious leaders who were accusing Him of being under the power of Satan. Isn’t is something when those in “power” see someone else in the light, they are quick to turn it around and be accusatory?
Of course Jesus is right in that we will “give account” and that by “your words you will be justified…condemned”. If we are on the side of God, they we are justified in the actions that we are taking, but on the side of man, we are condemned.
We are accountable to God. I will say that again, we are accountable to God. Let that sink in a bit. Trevor Flisowski, you are accountable to God. Whatever man says against you, Trevor Flisowski, you are accountable to God.
I know that it is hard out there and I have been writing about the persecution that takes place. I know that it is not me, but they that are in the wrong (as long as I am on the side of God). I cannot worry myself with what others think, say, or do. I am accountable to God and only God for the things that I think, say, and do.
What about you, are you looking to others for validation? Are you “worried” about what others think and say? Are you aware that you are accountable for you?
