Boldness in the Day of Judgment
Consider: Matthew 25: 31-46, Mark 9: 43-48
Boldness in the Day of Judgment
“17: Herein is our love made perfect, that
we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as he is, so are we in
this world. 18: There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love” (I John 4).
Boldness in the Day of Judgment
“Boldness” is “confidence,” “cheerfulness,”
and “courage” (W.E. Vine). Effectual love
is always working and active (Gal. 5: 6).
“6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but
faith which worketh by love. 7: Ye did run
well; who did hinder you that ye should not
obey the truth?” (Gal. 5.)
Boldness in the Day of Judgment
Biblical love results in two states:
A state of personal relationship with God.
A consequent state of trust and fellowship
with God (I John 1: 7-9).
Boldness in the Day of Judgment
We can effect this “boldness” by first
developing love:
“19: We love him, because he first loved us”
(I John 4).
Boldness in the Day of Judgment
By denying self – Luke 9: 23.
Boldness in the Day of Judgment

5: 17.
Boldness in the Day of Judgment

Boldness in the Day of Judgment
Conclusion:
How do you view the Judgment Day, is it a
time of releasement, vindication, and the
beginning of joy and bliss or a time of dread,
fear, and torment? If the latter, love needs to
be developed and maintained.
