Who sees us? Who will know?

Psalm 14:1
“(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

Job 21:15
“What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?”

Job 22:13
“And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?”

Psalm 10:11, 13
“He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.”
“Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.”

Psalm 73:11
“And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?”

Psalm 94:7
“Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.”

Ezekiel 8:12
“Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house
of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say,
The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.”

Zephaniah 1:12
“And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the
men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.”

Malachi 3:14
“Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we
have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?”

Most people suppose that God has no concern about what is happening on earth, and that He will neither
punish the wicked, nor reward the godly. Therefore they imagine that it is both unnecessary and foolish
to make Him an object either of our hope, or our fear.

Yet God continually sends us warnings in His Word, that a time is coming when He will clearly make a
separation between the wicked and the righteous, by the awful judgments which He will inflict on the one,
and the unspeakable blessings which He will confer on the other!

Yes, how different the states of God’s friends and God’s enemies will be in the eternal world!

Romans 2:5
“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day
of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;”

Alas! alas! where shall the wicked, the objects of God’s vengeance, flee?

How shall they “dwell with everlasting burnings?”

Who can conceive the anguish with which they will weep and wail and gnash their teeth for all eternity!

Revelation 6:16-17

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

View, on the contrary, the godly . . .
when God will wipe every tear from our eyes,
when there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,
when we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is,
when we shall be in His presence, where there is fullness of joy, and pleasures forevermore!

Who can conceive the transcendent bliss of such a state?

But though “we know not yet what we shall be,” so far as respects the degrees of the misery of the godless,
or the happiness of the godly, we know that the distance between the righteous and the wicked will be immeasurably great.

O that we would ever contemplate it–that we might all fear the Lord, and walk in His fear to the last day of our lives!

Matthew 25:34, 41
“Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:”
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for
the devil and his angels:”

Isaiah 29:15
P“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who
seeth us? and who knoweth us?”

“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
