Jude 1:20-21 (NET) But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit, maintain yourselves in the love of God, while anticipating the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life

Because Franka lived in the expectation of the Lord’s coming, she always remembered that she would one day stand before the Lord’s judgment seat and give an account for the things she did and said. This expectation in her heart kept her holy and circumspect. There was a time she was about to make an important decision concerning her marriage because her husband was misbehaving, but she didn’t know how she was going to justify that decision before the Lord when she appeared before him. She thus refrained from making that decision.

An essential spiritual maintenance requirement is living in the expectation of the Lord’s coming. After the Lord appears and the saints have been resurrected to meet Him, one very significant thing that would happen would be the judgment seat of Christ. The saints will all appear before Him to give an account of their stewardship. Some would suffer loss and not be allowed to enter in the joy of their king, while others would be rewarded with crowns, thrones, and territories to govern in the millennial reign(2 Timothy 4:8, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, Matthew 25:21, Luke 18:16-17).

The Lord Jesus says we would give account for every idle word we utter(see Matthew 12:36). The Lord will not forget your labor of love(Hebrews 6:10). He will remember even the ones you’ve forgotten, and you can be sure that He will reward you when He appears.

Go into today knowing that living in the expectation of the Lord’s coming is one of the requirements for maintaining yourself in God’s love. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil. 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NET).
