  1. The Final Question What have you done?

  2. The Final Question: What have you done? • We will each be required to give an account (Romans 14:12; Luke 16:16) • For everything we’ve said or done (Matthew 12:36; Hebrews 4:13; Eccl. 12:14) • Others may account for how they watched over us, but we must answer for ourselves (Hebrews 13:17; 2 Corinthians 5:10) • We will give an account whether or not we believe we have to do so (Psalm 10:13; 1 Peter 4:3-5)

  3. The Final Question: What have you done? King Saul was asked this question (1 Samuel 13:11) • Maybe he thought he would never have to answer for his deeds. • Maybe he thought he was above being questioned. • Maybe he thought his excuses would be good enough.

  4. The Final Question: What have you done? Jesus was asked this question (John 18:35) • Imagine having every little thing in your life scrutinized in an attempt to find just one fault. • Pilate could find no fault (Luke 23:4; 13-15).

  5. The Final Question: What have you done? You will be asked this question too. • Our hope must be that some of our deeds will NOT be on the permanent record. • This was David’s plea (Psalm 139; 51:1-3) • This is God’s promise (Hebrews 8:10-12) • But YOU must be in a covenant relationship with God to receive this promise!
