Since most deaths happen suddenly and in a moment, be sure that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise - Ephesians 5:15. It is only a few people, like one of the thieves on the cross that may have an opportunity to make their ways right with God, just before death. The majority of people die either accidentally or in their sleep, taken away without hand.

God's irrevocable judgment comes to every soul immediately after death. The ruling or verdict of that judgment will either be eternal life in heaven or eternal damnation in hell, depending on how the soul concerned lived on earth. Consider the following statement made by the Lord Jesus Christ - "And it came to pass, that the begger died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bossom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, ..." - Luke 16:22-23.

Small or big, every sin ends in destruction and death. The soul that sinneth, it shall die and the wages of sin is death. In His wisdom, the just and righteous God has determined to punish every sinner in hell fire, except they repent. The type of sin committed does not matter; anger and murder will attract the same judgment - eternal destruction in hell fire.

God is so concerned about how we relate with Him after our conversion. He says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Whereas, iniquities and sins separate between man and God, redemption bridges the gap. Unfortunately, many saved people still see themselves as sinners and have chosen to follow the Lord from afar. But the Lord, out of His immense love is saying: return unto me; for I have redeemed you. Redemption makes the erstwhile sinner the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

The Almighty God is a just God and He weighs the actions and motives of men in His balances. When king Belshazzar was weighed, he was found wanting. The Lord sees your ways and counts your steps. Even the thoughts of your heart are very loud in His ears: He hears and sees your every imagination. Judge yourself and you will not be judged.
