“”For we must all appear before the

judgement seat of Christ, so that each one

may receive recompense, according to what

he did in the body, whether good or evil.”

2 CORINTHIANS 5:10

We are all accountable for all of the gifts God

has given us-our time, our talent and our

treasure; everything we have and everything

we are. Each of us is accountable not only for

our own life but for the lives of others as well.

One day God will ask each of us what we did

with the gifts we were given. How will you

respond?
