Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Lord does not desire us to be scared of probes, and inquiry, and furthermore, being afraid is not a good motivation for folks to do right, just because they are panicked about being found out. The right thing should be done because it’s the right thing, and because the Christian serves, and loves God intelligently aspiring by His grace to have Jesus’ character developed and matured in our hearts by the power of The Holy Spirit. This work is something the Christian willingly chooses to have done.
The fear of The Lord is not about running scared or trying to hide things that ought to be confessed. It is about living in sincerity and truth, appropriating the words and laws of God in practical ways so that folks might develop a keen sense of right and wrong, and choose good over evil. This is what is meant by living as if in the presence of God, and when this route is taken, the judgment in heaven will not scare us, for we chose to walk in the light, even as He is in the light, and in so doing there will be nothing to hide.
[The Great Controversy pp 88] As the books of record are opened in the Judgment, the lives of all who have believed on Jesus come in review before God. When any have sins remaining upon the books of record, unrepented of and unforgiven, their names will be blotted out of the book of life and the record of their good deeds will be erased from the book of God’s remembrance. All who have truly repented of sin, and by faith claimed the blood of Christ as their atoning sacrifice, have had pardon entered against their names in the books of Heaven.
Hebrews 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
