In this episode of our "Psalms" devotional series, we explore the unexpected conclusion of Psalm 98 and its implications for our understanding of divine judgment. Join us as we delve into the biblical perspective on judgment and how it relates to our faith and actions.
Key Points:
- Psalm 98 ends with a celebration of God's coming judgment
- The concept of judgment is a significant theme throughout the Bible
- Many people today are uncomfortable with the idea of being judged
- Scripture affirms that we will all face judgment (Matthew 25, Acts 17, Hebrews 9)
- Our actions will be evaluated (1 Corinthians 3, 2 Corinthians 5:9)
