“We Must Be Held Accountable For Our Actions”

Galatians 6:1-5

Accountable is defined as subject to the obligation to report, explain, or justify something; responsible; answerable; liable. 

Each one of us shall give account of ourselves to God. For an adult, accountability could be making sure to work each day at the job you were hired to do and to own up to your mistakes when you make them. When we accept Jesus’s sacrifice, we do so with the knowledge that our actions and words before we were saved are forgiven by God through Jesus. The belief is that after this recognition of salvation, we will go forward in our lives with a changed heart and the sense that what we do is for the glory of the Lord more than the glory for ourselves. This is not to say that we won’t utter a curse word, do something out of pride, or judge someone unjustly. But it is to say that while before it didn’t bother us to do or say something like this, we will be bothered now by these words and actions. The Lord spoke to the prophet Samuel to tell him that while man looks at what a person is on the outside, the Lord concentrates most on the heart. This explains that the heart reveals the true intentions of people and whether they understand the gravity of being accountable to what is asked of them, or if they are immature and not responsible enough to be accountable yet, if ever.

I come by this morning to let you know we must be held accountable for all our actions. It’s time out for pretending and playing church when you know you full of devil. You may fool some people but you most definitely can’t fool God not now or ever. Woe be unto you!!! God’s word holds it in the highest esteem. We are to be an example to others of this accountability as a Christ believer. Amen!!! Be bless and I love you!!! JE
