Judgment

2 Corinthians 5:9-10
So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. (NLT)

We are each judged all through our school years; judged on how we do on the tests we are given. Even playing sports, we are judged by our coach based on his experience. He decides if we make the team or not. Then he decides our participation in the games.

When we go for a job interview we are judged first off by how we appear. Our chances of getting the interview or not could be decided on what we chose to ware. Come to an office job interview with shorts and a T-shirt wearing a baseball cap could get us back on the street before we get to see anyone about the job.

The opposite can occur as well. If we are looking for a job in construction, we do not want to show up in a suit and tie as if we were going to church on Sunday. They want someone ready to work on the job site, not in the office.

In either case, if we know the right person and they vouch for us, the judgment could go the other way. Who you know does count.

At the other end of life, when our days on earth are over and we cross over to the other side, who we know counts as well.

Christ will greet us and either hug us like the friend we have been in relationship with or he will wonder who we are. The interview will not go well if He does not know us for then we will be judged on all the evil we have done.
