Let's summarize. You and I will stand one day before Jesus Christ in judgment. If you have rejected him as Savior and Lord, your name will not be in his book of life, and you've chosen hell over heaven forever. If you've accepted him, heaven is already yours. Your name is in his book, forever.

But the book of works will determine your rewards or loss of rewards. Ungodly words, secret sins, immorality will be burned away and suffer loss; holiness, soul-winning, faithfulness, and loving service will be rewarded with eternal crowns. We need to be ready, today.

C. S. Lewis once said that there are two kinds of people. Some say to God, "Your will be done." For them the judgment will be reward and victory. To the others God must finally say, "Your will be done." They have rejected heaven, or rewards in heaven.

Is it his will or yours? You have only today to decide.

The largest statue ever carved from a single piece of stone weighed more than two million pounds. It was a figure of Ramses I, the Egyptian Pharaoh who died in 1317 B.C. When the children of Israel left Egypt, they passed his enormous statue.

Who would have dreamed that these ragged former slaves, trudging out into the hardships of the unknown desert, would amount to anything? But today Ramses' statue lies broken in the sands of Egypt. Meanwhile, the movement God began with those children of Israel, men and women willing to live in God's will and for his glory, have been used by his hand to change our world forever. To touch your soul and mind. To glorify our Maker and King.

Such people of faith win the only Oscar that matters. Will you?
