Yes, we will give an account of ourselves. We will give a full accounting of our motives and our actions, our thoughts and our intents. We will lay it all out to the One who already knows us, and we will be judged. For now, we need the surgery of the Word, the double-edged surgical tool that will ready us for that great day. We want Him to deal with our attitudes now. We want everything uncovered, judged and cleansed before that great day.
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13 (NIV)
