Today’s Devotional
Hebrews 9:27 is a sobering reminder that each person is destined to die once, and after death, they will face judgment. This truth underscores the reality of our mortality and the importance of living our lives in accordance with God’s will. It is a call to reflect on the eternal consequences of our choices and actions and to prioritize our relationship with God.
The verse also reminds us of the grace and mercy offered through Jesus Christ. He took upon Himself the judgment that we deserved, so that if we place our faith in Him, we can be forgiven and receive eternal life. Knowing that we will face judgment should inspire us to share the gospel with others, so that they, too, can experience the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ.
