Are You Fit To Meet God?

Today we must fit into every aspect of life. We must fit into our working environments, fit to become leaders, fit to fly planes, and so it goes on. I’m not speaking here about the fitness part, which is whether we are strong enough or can handle much toughness. No, I’m speaking about whether we “qualify” for that which we should be doing or going to do. Maybe I’m unfit to be a lecturer or a mountaineer, but I’m fit to run my own business; which I do. Being fit or unfit determines your course in life. What about the following qualification…

Are you fit or unfit to meet God? All responsible beings who are not Christians are sinners. This means you are unfit to meet God or enter His kingdom, now on earth where we live or after you have departed from this world. As Christians, especially us men, we are going to meet Him one day, but are we fit to meet Him? Are we ready for that day when we meet face to face? Many call themselves Christians but live the ways of the world – therefore they are sinners and unfit to meet God or enter His kingdom. Hebrews 10:31 reminds us what to expect one day, and it says the following; “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” What does this actual tell us. This verse is powerful!

It is warning us that we should dread the day we depart from this earth. Even today while we are alive, we should dread God and what He has in store for those who do not live according to His ways. We are either fit to meet Him or suffer the consequences awaiting those who are unfit; hell is no “pleasure ride” nor a place to land up in. Yes, only when we are living out our lives as true followers and Christians in the manner that pleases God, then we will not need to dread the day we “fall into His hands” or meet Him face to face.

Don’t call yourself a Christian and not live it out. Don’t call yourself a Christian just because you are not a follower of Allah or Buddha, or any other gods, but were “born” into a Christian home with Christian parents. You will remain a sinner or you will be a true Christian. Now I ask you, are you truly fit to meet God? I believe I am fit to meet God and I strive to live a life that pleases Him only.
