WHAT IF - DAY OF JUDGEMENT

What if ….there is a grand and sombre day ahead of us where our lives will be reviewed?

What if, beyond the veil of time, a grand and solemn day awaits—a moment when every thought, action, and choice is laid bare? A day when illusions fade, and the true weight of our deeds is revealed—not just before the eyes of men, but before the One who sees all.

Imagine standing in the presence of absolute truth, where every kindness shines like a beacon and every cruelty lingers like a shadow. There is no defense, no escape—only the reality of who we have been and what we have done. If such a day lies ahead, then the question is not whether we will face it, but whether we are prepared for its arrival.

Would we stand in confidence, knowing we lived with purpose, honor, and faith? Or would regret weigh upon us, whispering of chances lost, time wasted, and love withheld? If our lives are to be reviewed, then perhaps the wisest choice is to live each day with that knowledge—to seek truth, to pursue righteousness, and to hold fast to the hope that, in the end, mercy may yet be found.

What if…..there are only two ways, the Broad way and the Narrow way?

What if life is not a maze of endless choices, but simply two paths—the Broad way and the Narrow way? The Broad way, wide and easy, welcomes all who seek comfort without consequence. It is lined with distractions, promises of pleasure, and the illusion of freedom, yet its end is destruction. The Narrow way, difficult and demanding, requires sacrifice, discipline, and faith. Few choose it, for it is steep, lonely at times, and filled with trials. Yet it leads to life, truth, and everlasting peace.

If there are only two ways, then neutrality is an illusion—every step we take moves us toward one or the other. The question is not whether we will walk, but which path we will choose. Will we follow the crowd into the Broad way, or will we walk the Narrow way, guided by truth? The choice shapes our eternity.

What if……there is a Great Judge who will pay everyone according to his/her work?

What if beyond the fleeting judgments of this world, there exists a Great Judge—one who sees all, knows all, and weighs every deed with perfect justice? Unlike human courts, where errors and biases abound, this Judge cannot be deceived. No hidden motive escapes His sight, no secret wrongdoing remains buried. Every act—good or evil—is accounted for, and every person receives their due reward.

If such a Judge stands at the end of our days, then our choices matter more than we realize. The kindness we extend, the truth we uphold, the faith we nurture—all of it is counted. And so are the moments of selfishness, deception, and cruelty. There will be no appeals, no excuses—only the final reckoning.

The question is not whether judgment will come, but whether we are prepared for its arrival. Will we be found worthy, or will regret consume us? If this reality awaits, then wisdom demands we live not for fleeting rewards, but for eternal truth.

What if…..you were not able to have an advocate to argue your case?

What if, on the day of judgment, you stood alone—no advocate, no defense, no one to plead your cause? Every word, every action, every hidden thought laid bare before the Great Judge. No appeals, no excuses—only justice, swift and final.

Without an advocate, the weight of your deeds would be yours alone to carry. No mercy, no redemption—only the reckoning of a life lived. If such a day awaits, then wisdom urges preparation. Seek truth now, before the time for grace runs out. Because when the moment comes, standing alone is the last place you want to be.

What if…..there are books of records in which the names and behaviour of all men are registered?

What if….the book of Remembrance is open, where every actions of right doing are preserved?

What if, on a day beyond time, the Book of Remembrance is opened—its pages filled with every act of righteousness, every moment of kindness, every sacrifice made in faith? Unlike the fleeting records of this world, where deeds are forgotten and honor fades, this book is eternal. No righteous act is overlooked, no faithful heart is ignored.

In a world where goodness often seems unrewarded, the Book of Remembrance stands as proof that nothing done in truth is ever lost. What if your quiet prayers, unseen generosity, and steadfast integrity are forever inscribed, waiting for the day they will be acknowledged? And what if the weight of what is written determines the legacy you leave—not just in this life, but in eternity?

The thought is sobering, but also hopeful—because every choice still matters, and every righteous act still holds eternal significance.

What if…..each wrong word you expressed, all selfish acts  and every task you left undone, and each wasted moments are carefully scrutinized?

What if…..your influence swayed others, causing them to mirror your actions as you lived as you pleased?

What if, without realizing it, your influence shaped the lives of those around you? Every word, every action became a blueprint for someone else to follow. You lived as you pleased—without thought, without restraint—but others mirrored your choices, believing your path was worth walking.

Then one day, you look back and see the ripples you’ve created. Some found wisdom in your example; others stumbled because of it. Would you be proud of the legacy left behind, or would regret cloud your reflection?

Influence is a powerful force—silent, steady, and often unnoticed until it’s too late. If your footsteps will be followed, shouldn't they lead somewhere worth going? Because when the time comes to face the impact of your life, the weight of those who walked in your shadow may be heavier than you ever imagined.

What if, despite all the weight of our choices, the judgment of our deeds, and the paths we’ve walked, hope still remained? What if, even at the final hour, mercy was extended to those who sought it?

Perhaps the story does not end in despair but in redemption—for those who turn, for those who seek, for those who humble themselves before truth. The mistakes we’ve made need not define us forever. The lives we’ve influenced need not be bound by our failures. There is always a way back, always a chance to choose life, always an opportunity for grace.

If such hope exists, then it is not too late. The book is still being written, and the final chapter is yet to be sealed. The choice is ours—to remain lost in regret or to step forward into the light of new beginnings.
