2 Timothy 4:1,7-8 NLT
I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom: [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. [8] And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
There is a common phrase that many use these days saying *thou shall not judge*. I totally understand it but the interesting thing is that, if we your fellow humans cannot judge your actions, manner of service, attitude and character for you to take corrections here on earth and keep your , while we await the coming of Jesus, know that there is a greater judge who will judge both the living and the death.
If you cannot fear man's judgment, what about God?.
Everything we are doing here on earth is to hear Him say *Good and Faithful Servant*. Matt. 25:23. We want to spend eternity with Him but we don't want His ways and His rules. Apostle says there is a crown of glory awaiting all of us, but before the crown comes the judgement of God. If you stand before God today, will you be found guilty? Or will you be in right standing with Him?
If you cannot fear man who can kill your body but not your soul, then you should fear God who owns both your body and your soul and who is our Father, judge and rewarder whocan kilk the body and soul.
Live your life to please Him not offend Him. His ways are not our ways. If we must please Him, we must do it His way.

Matthew 7:21-23 NLT
"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. [22] On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' [23] But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.'
