"Take A Stand" is our series at Fusion Christian Church on having the courage to stand strong in the faith. From the book of Daniel we will learn what it takes follow God in a world that doesn't. Pulling from chapters 7-12, Pastor Zac teaches about the final judgment and how we can be right with God.

One day the books will be opened.

God has a record of everything we have ever done. If we stand before God based on the works recorded in that book, we will not enter heaven. However, God has another book, one that contains a different record. That book has the names of those saved by the blood of the lamb. If we stand before God based off our record in that book, we will surely enter in. The question is, how do we know if God has written our names in it or not?

Our deliverance is in Christ.

God will write your name in the Book of Life if you put your faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only way to make sure your future is secure. No amount of good deeds will save us, because only Jesus lived a perfect life. Because of that, we must trust in His righteousness and not our own. Good deeds will save you, but only Christ's good deeds, not your own!

Take your stand at the end and aim for heaven.

With this in mind, we must aim to live a life worthy of the calling God has placed on our lives as Christians. Jesus called us not just to trust in him, but to repent of our sin. Repentance is a lifestyle that continually rejects sin and turns toward righteousness. As Christians do that, we prepare ourselves throughout life to ultimately enter into heaven. How are you aiming for heaven in your life?
