"We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then everyone of us shall give an account of himself to God" Romans 14:10-12.
What will we confess to God? "And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father" Philippians 2:11.
If you can't confess that Jesus is Lord now, you probably will not be able to confess that Jesus is Lord in the judgment. To confess that Jesus is Lord is to confess that Jesus is the savior and redeemer of the whole world, 1 John 4:14.
To confess that Jesus is Lord, is to confess that Jesus has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil and in doing so has reconciled us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:19. Making all doctrines and religions worthless. Jesus reconciles us to God. Not the Catholic church. Not Calvinism. Not any religion. We are reconciled to God by what Jesus has done for us, in our name and on our behalf.
Are you going to be able to confess that "Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father?" I think that many of you are going to say... "But Lord, Lord, were we not members of the Catholic church? But Lord, Lord, were we not followers of John Calvin?" Instead of confessing that Jesus is Lord you will confess your works or your religion. And then Jesus will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you" Matthew 7:23.
