Someday I must appear before the judgment seat of Jesus. Doing so is not optional; I have no choice in the matter. I must appear there.

Even the timing of that appearance is not mine to decide. That appearance could be today or fifteen years from today. Again, the choice is His.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, where it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Thankfully, He has forewarned me what that judgment will be about.

I will be rewarded good or evil according to the good or evil I have done with my body.

Only as I yield it to Him can I use my body in a way pleasing to Him.

In that I do have a choice!
