01:58 >>John Bradshaw: Thanks for joining me today.
02:00 Imagine you're living your life, minding your own business,
02:05 and from out of the blue, you're accused
02:08 of committing truly horrible crimes.
02:11 That's what happened to a man from
02:12 the southwest of Chicago, Illinois.
02:14 His life was turned upside down; people all over Chicago were
02:17 shocked, and horrified.
02:19 In the 1970s, claims were made that Frank Walus
02:22 had collaborated with the Gestapo during World War 2,
02:25 and before long Mr. Walus found himself in court
02:28 facing very serious charges.
02:30 A gruesome picture was painted of him.
02:32 It was said that he had participated in the murder
02:35 of innocent Jews in Poland,
02:37 and that he had cooperated with the Nazis
02:39 to kill women and children.
02:41 He was identified by several people
02:43 who claimed to have witnessed him
02:45 carrying out atrocities during the war.
02:48 His U.S. citizenship was revoked,
02:50 because it was claimed he didn't reveal his involvement
02:52 with the Nazis when applying to come to the United States.
02:55 It seemed to many that authorities
02:57 had rooted out another war criminal.
02:59 Many believed the case against Frank Walus was watertight:
03:02 a wartime monster,
03:04 identified by eyewitnesses as a killer and a tyrant.
03:07 Well, information came to light that suggested that
03:11 maybe Frank Walus was not the war criminal
03:14 he'd been portrayed as.
03:16 In fact, his attorney unearthed evidence demonstrating Mr. Walus
03:20 was not the man who had participated in cruel beatings
03:23 and callous murders.
03:24 And a writer in the New York Times said that Mr. Walus was,
03:27 in fact, a farm laborer rather than a Nazi sympathizer
03:30 at the time the alleged atrocities took place.
03:33 The U.S. government dropped the case against Walus,
03:36 with prosecutors saying that Mr. Walus had never been
03:39 at the concentration camp in Kielce, Poland,
03:43 where many of the atrocities alleged to have involved
03:45 Mr. Walus had taken place.
03:48 Frank Walus died in 1994, aged 72.
03:52 A question, an important question,
03:54 was being asked at Mr. Walus' trial.
03:57 Was he the "Beast of Kielce,"
03:59 or in actuality a kind man quietly living his life,
04:04 a Polish immigrant doing his best to make a new life
04:07 in the United States of America?
04:08 In other words, who was the real Frank Walus?
04:14 That's a question that's going to be asked of you
04:16 and me one day.
04:17 Who is the real John Q Citizen?
04:19 The real Jane Doe?
04:22 According to the Bible, there's going to be a judgment one day
04:26 [gong sounds] when God asks of every last one of us,
04:32 who are you, really?
04:36 This could be something a person might fear,
04:39 but rightly understood,
04:41 the judgment is something you can face with confidence.
04:45 So, how can you face the judgment with confidence?
04:49 We'll look in to that in just a moment.

06:07 It's time now for today's Bible question.
06:09 It reads like this: "My question is simple:
06:13 I believe in God, but is the devil real?"
06:18 Yes, he is!
06:19 You'll read in the Bible that there is a very real devil.
06:23 The Bible is unambiguous about that.
06:26 Revelation chapter 12 talks in some detail about this being,
06:29 saying in verse 9,
06:31 "So the great dragon was cast out [that's out of heaven],
06:34 that old serpent called the devil and Satan,
06:38 which deceiveth the whole world..."
06:40 Notice here, not only is the devil real,
06:43 but he's referred to as a dragon,
06:45 a prophetic symbol that you'll find in the book of Revelation,
06:47 and he is referred to as the serpent,
06:50 referring to the way he tempted Adam and Eve
06:53 in the Garden of Eden.
06:55 Jesus referenced the devil Himself.
06:57 In John 8 Jesus referred to the devil as a liar,
07:01 and the father of lies.
07:03 Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, you remember.
07:06 And you might recall when Jesus was talking to Peter
07:09 and he rebuked him by saying,
07:11 "Get behind me, Satan," in Matthew 16.
07:14 So yes, the devil is real.
07:17 He was once an angel who lived in the presence of God,
07:20 but, filled with pride and selfishness,
07:23 he rebelled against God and was evicted from heaven.
07:27 Satan is responsible for the evil that's in the world.
07:30 You know, so many people want to blame God
07:34 for the mayhem in the world today,
07:35 mayhem which is evidence of the evil that exists in the world.
07:40 But here's what you need to know.
07:41 1 John 4, verse 4, the Bible says,
07:45 "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world."
07:50 The God of heaven is much more powerful than Satan.
07:52 The devil will tempt, yes, he will.
07:56 But God can deliver, and He will if you ask Him to.
07:59 There certainly is a devil.
08:01 But the really good news is, there really is a Savior;
08:05 His name is Jesus.
08:06 And He will give new life to you and anybody else
08:11 who comes to Him in faith.

08:27 ♪[Music]♪
08:34 The Bible tells us that every person on earth
08:36 will one day come before God in judgment.
08:39 You read these words in 2 Corinthians,
08:41 chapter 5 and verse 10, where the Bible says,
08:45 “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
08:50 that every one may receive the things done in the body,
08:52 according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
08:57 In the book of Revelation,
08:58 John gives us a bigger picture of the judgment.
09:00 Revelation chapter 20 and verse 12 says,
09:03 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
09:06 and the books were opened: and another book was opened,
09:09 which is the book of life:
09:11 and the dead were out of those things
09:13 which were written in the books,
09:15 according to their works."
09:17 You know, many people are concerned by the idea that God
09:20 is going to examine their lives.
09:22 They worry that things will go against them when God judges.
09:26 If you were appearing in an earthly court,
09:28 you might be worried about what the prosecution had dug up
09:31 to use as evidence against you.
09:33 But what do you think God might be able to find
09:35 to use against you?
09:37 Now here's where we've got to keep something in mind.
09:40 God is not looking to do all He can to condemn people.
09:44 He's doing everything He can to save people.
09:47 Most people are familiar with that famous verse John 3:16,
09:50 but John 3:17 says this, John 3, verse 17
09:57 "For God sent not His Son into the world
10:00 to condemn the world,
10:01 but that the world through Him might be saved."
10:05 No, God didn't send Jesus to the world to condemn us,
10:09 but for the purpose of seeing people saved from sin
10:13 and its penalty.
10:14 So what, then, is this judgment all about?
10:17 A “good” person might say,
10:19 "I'm a good person and surely judgment
10:22 is for other people and not me."
10:23 Well, let's think about this.
10:25 In Matthew 7 and verse 21, Jesus says that theres gonna come
10:28 a time when many people will come to Him and say,
10:31 "Lord, Lord, haven't we done wonderful works in Your name?"
10:34 They talk about having done such things as healing the sick and
10:38 working miracles, good things, for sure!
10:41 And yet Jesus surprises these people by saying,
10:44 "I never knew you!"
10:46 There's a question to who they really are.
10:49 Now, maybe they had done some things in their lives
10:52 that were laudable.
10:53 But here, they run to Jesus, they call Him “Lord,”
10:56 while Jesus knows what they're really like.
10:59 They are pretenders.
11:01 Phonies.
11:03 There's a Bible story that illustrates this perfectly.
11:08 The children of Israel entered the Promised Land,
11:10 and not long after they're approached by a group of people
11:12 claiming to be from a distant country.
11:14 "We heard of you, and about your great God,
11:17 and we traveled a long distance to join ourselves to you
11:20 and to be your servants.”
11:22 And Joshua says, "Great! Glad to have you on board.
11:25 Welcome to Canaan!"
11:27 And then, not too long afterward,
11:29 it comes to light that these people are not
11:32 pilgrims from a distant country.
11:34 They're the Gibeonites, from very nearby in Canaan.
11:37 They were enemies of God!
11:40 But Joshua never checked.
11:43 He took their word for it!
11:44 And so the Gibeonites became joined to God's people,
11:47 and even though a system was devised
11:48 to make that arrangement work as well as possible,
11:51 it caused some real problems.
11:53 As much as God might like for everyone to be saved eternally,
11:58 He knows, and we know,
12:00 that God cannot allow a bunch of pretenders into His kingdom.
12:04 So, before eternity comes there's going to be a judgment,
12:08 a time when God can ascertain
12:09 who really has chosen Him genuinely,
12:11 and a time when He can separate out,
12:14 if you like, those who really are not true believers,
12:16 though they claim to be.
12:18 This isn't God trying to find out something
12:20 He doesn't already know.
12:22 It's much like an audit, if you like,
12:24 where God reviews the records,
12:27 reviews the claims that people have made,
12:29 and He sees how those claims stack up against reality.
12:33 Simple example:
12:35 when you cross a border and enter another country,
12:37 you usually have to hand over some identification
12:40 and perhaps some documentation.
12:42 The last time I crossed into Canada from the United States,
12:45 I arrived at the border claiming I'm a trustworthy guy,
12:48 that I'm not there to cause trouble,
12:50 and that I'm wanting to go into Canada for legitimate reasons.
12:53 I don't want to be a hindrance or a nuisance.
12:54 So, I hand over some documents.
12:57 Then the border guard asks me some questions.
12:59 "Why are you coming into Canada?
13:01 Why are you crossing the border at this time of night?
13:04 How long have you known that guy you're with and,
13:06 and why are you with him?"
13:08 Now, was it really necessary for the border guard
13:11 to ask me those questions?
13:13 No of course not!
13:14 He could have just trusted me, right?
13:18 So why didn't he?
13:19 Why didn't he just take my word for the fact that I was
13:22 a good guy there to do good things?
13:24 Because I might not have been telling the truth.
13:27 How does he know that I'm not trouble?
13:29 So he checks out my documents, looks at his computer,
13:32 asks me some questions, and then,
13:34 when he's satisfied I'm on the level,
13:36 and that I'm not a threat to Canadian national security,
13:38 he lets me into the country.
13:40 Now, that's really how the judgment works.
13:42 You've got a mass of people who claim that they're loyal to God
13:45 and won't pose a threat to the stability of heaven.
13:48 Should we ask God to let those people into heaven
13:51 based on their word?
13:52 Or would it be slightly more responsible of God
13:55 to look at the documentation, the books of record,
13:59 and perhaps do a little investigating to see
14:01 if Person A really is what he or she claims to be?
14:05 And let's take that up a notch.
14:07 Not only is it important that that border guard
14:10 ensure justice is done,
14:13 it is also imperative that he be seen to ensure justice is done.
14:19 God could just wave a lot of people through
14:21 and into the kingdom knowing they're okay,
14:23 but there's a universe looking on,
14:26 and it's vital that God Himself is not only just,
14:29 but that He's seen to be just in the process
14:33 of judging the world.
14:34 The Bible says in Romans 3 and verse 23,
14:37 you might know this verse,
14:39 "...all have sinned,
14:41 and have come short of the glory of God."
14:43 And then just a page or so over, the Bible says,
14:46 "For the wages of sin is death;
14:49 but the gift of God is eternal life
14:51 through Jesus Christ our Lord."
14:53 So, in the judgment process, in this auditing process,
14:59 God is looking to see whether we've really chosen His gift
15:02 of eternal life through Jesus,
15:04 or whether we've only made some sort of hollow claim
15:07 to God's grace.
15:09 God's asking the question,
15:10 "Who, really, are you?"
15:13 It reminds me of that 70s song by The Who,
15:16 who sang,
15:16 "Oh, I really want to know, Who Are You?"
15:20 Now, I'm not sure how many times The Who have popped up
15:22 in a discussion about God's working with human beings,
15:24 but, that's really what God is asking in the judgment.
15:27 "Who are You?
15:28 You say you're one thing,
15:30 but because the truth could be otherwise,
15:32 I'm going to conduct this audit.
15:34 And we'll find out who you are.
15:36 And if you are who you claim to be,
15:38 if you're really My child,
15:40 then you've got nothing to fear."
15:43 Let me ask you, have you ever been audited?
15:47 A few years ago I got a letter from the tax man
15:50 telling me that certain aspects of my tax return
15:52 were going to be audited.
15:55 Imagine that!
15:56 The IRS going over my tax return with a fine-toothed comb.
15:59 What might they find?
16:02 So, did I panic, or was I my usual cool,
16:05 calm and collected self?
16:08 I'll tell you in a moment.

17:25 In Revelation 12:9, John says that Satan
17:27 "was cast out into the earth,
17:29 and his angels were cast out with him."
17:31 Satan is very real, as is the spiritual warfare
17:34 we currently find ourselves embroiled in.
17:37 You and I are the very special objects of Satan's venom.
17:40 He is on this earth intentionally attempting
17:42 to lead us away from the safety of God's presence,
17:45 and from the safety of surrender to Jesus.
17:48 And being at his game for thousands of years,
17:50 he's very effective at bringing the right temptations
17:52 at the right time.
17:54 It's something to be taken seriously.
17:56 Today, know that there's an enemy who wants to

19:17 The New York Times recently ran a story about
19:19 a harrowing ordeal experienced by a New York City woman.
19:23 Originally from Guyana,
19:25 Seemona Sumasar was an immigrant success story:
19:28 a former Wall Street analyst who was now running a restaurant
19:30 and doing very well for herself.
19:32 When she was arrested and jailed,
19:34 and found herself facing up to 25 years in prison,
19:37 she just couldn't understand what was going on.
19:39 Even though she didn't have a criminal record,
19:41 she spent seven months in jail, before it came to light
19:44 that an angry former boyfriend framed her
19:47 for a series of crimes she did not commit,
19:50 in what New York City prosecutors called
19:52 “one of the most elaborate framing cases ever seen.”
19:56 Ms. Sumasar was completely innocent.
19:59 The question though was asked,
20:01 who was the real Seemona Sumasar?
20:04 And one day, that question will be asked of you and me.
20:08 Today we're discussing the biblical idea that one day
20:11 God is going to judge everyone on the earth.
20:14 2 Corinthians 5:10 says that
20:16 "we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ."
20:20 And why is that, do you think?
20:22 Could it be because God needs to find answers to questions,
20:24 because there are certain things He doesn't know?
20:27 Is God on a fact-finding mission?
20:29 No.
20:30 But perhaps God is making sure that the claims people make
20:34 about themselves as being His children
20:36 are actually accurate claims.
20:38 And perhaps God is going through this audit of heaven's books
20:41 or record because its in the best interest of the universe
20:44 to know that God has gone through some type of process
20:47 to ensure only the right people are granted everlasting life.
20:51 [Gong sounds] You know, we could just trust God.
20:57 I would, I think.
20:58 I think I'd be satisfied if God told me He'd done the right
21:01 thing and that I could trust Him.
21:03 But what if you got to heaven and there were some people there
21:06 that you never thought would be there?
21:08 Or what if some people that you were certain
21:11 would be there, weren't there?
21:13 You might have questions.
21:15 Under those circumstances, I think I might.
21:19 You can see how a formal auditing process,
21:22 a judgment process if you want to call it that,
21:24 might be very helpful in answering a lot of questions.
21:27 Not questions that God has,
21:29 but questions that we might have when we arrive in glory.
21:31 You see, the judgment isn't something you need to fear.
21:35 Because Jesus died for you,
21:37 you can repent of your sins and be completely forgiven.
21:39 God will give you Jesus' own goodness in place of your sin,
21:43 and as a “new creature,” as the Bible says,
21:45 you can live for God and look forward to heaven right now.
21:49 I mentioned a few moments ago that I was audited by the IRS.
21:52 When I got that letter I realized that they were going to
21:54 be asking some questions of me regarding my tax return.
21:58 Now, I hasten to point out that this was just a random audit.
22:01 I hadn't done anything to upset Uncle Sam.
22:03 When I found out the IRS
22:06 was going to be checking out my tax return,
22:08 you know what?
22:10 I wasn't the least bit worried.
22:11 Because I knew I'd done nothing wrong
22:13 and that I had obeyed the law.
22:14 They could look all they wanted.
22:16 I knew everything would be okay.
22:18 It's like a non-drinker being asked to take a breath test,
22:21 what's there to worry about?
22:23 The same is true with the judgment.
22:25 God is going to be checking to see if the people
22:27 who have claimed to be followers of Jesus
22:29 really are followers of Jesus.
22:31 And if they are, there's nothing at all to fear.
22:35 The very good news is that God is on your side in the judgment.
22:40 Imagine arriving in God's courtroom,
22:41 and having Satan turn up to sit through your trial.
22:44 I think we could expect that he'd be there
22:46 saying something like,
22:47 "John Bradshaw, is not worth it.
22:50 Look at all the sins that he's committed.
22:52 I know what he did because I tempted him
22:53 to do everything that he did, that's all the bad things.
22:56 You can't forgive him.
22:58 His sins are too bad.
23:00 If you can forgive him
23:01 then You have to let me back into heaven, too."
23:03 Imagine that,
23:05 knowing that the devil is right there and that over the years
23:08 you've made a lot of mistakes and committed a lot of sins.
23:11 I'd probably feel as though I was about to lose the case.
23:15 There'd be nothing I could do
23:16 to get myself out of my predicament.
23:18 But just when I feel it's all over for me,
23:22 maybe Jesus would say something like,
23:23 "Father, yes, you can save that one.
23:26 Yes, I know that that John Bradshaw has sinned.
23:29 I know his sins were serious.
23:31 But I died for him.
23:33 He has repented, and he has been forgiven.
23:36 He belongs to Me.
23:37 I bought him with My life."
23:41 Let's look at a wonderful Bible text
23:43 that helps us to explain this a little more clearly.
23:46 In your imagination,
23:47 think of Jesus suffering on the cross.
23:49 Of course He was suffering from great physical agony.
23:52 Think about what He'd just gone through.
23:54 But listen to this, it's in Psalm 40 and verse 12.
23:57 Psalm 40, verse 12 says,
24:00 "For innumerable evils have compassed Me about:
24:03 Mine iniquities have taken hold upon Me,
24:05 so that I'm not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of
24:08 My head; therefore My heart fails Me."
24:13 Jesus says, "My" iniquities were on Him.
24:18 But we know that He didn't sin.
24:20 Those were our sins that He took upon Himself on the cross.
24:23 Isaiah wrote that Jesus "was wounded for our transgressions,
24:26 He was bruised for our iniquities."
24:27 The burden of our sin was so great,
24:30 that after only six hours on that terrible cross,
24:34 He suffered from heart failure and died.
24:37 Jesus took our sins upon Himself.
24:41 So when our names come up in judgment, God checks to see
24:44 if we've given up our sins and handed them over to Jesus,
24:49 and then lived in connection with Him.
24:51 That's all.
24:53 Micah chapter 7 and verse 19 says,
24:55 "He will turn again,
24:56 He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities;
25:01 and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths
25:04 of the sea."
25:05 You know, there's a place where the Pacific Ocean
25:08 is nearly 36,000 feet deep, 11,000 meters!
25:13 Deeper than Mount Everest is tall.
25:15 That's deep!
25:16 What God wants us to catch here is that if we confess our sins
25:20 that he will take our sins away.
25:21 And when our names come up in the judgment
25:23 He will declare that we are clean and we belong to Him.
25:27 Should we fear God?
25:29 And fear judgment?
25:31 I remember a teacher at my high school
25:32 that we used to call Bookes.
25:33 He walked straight and always carried an umbrella
25:36 and we all had a deadly fear of him.
25:38 We pretty much tried to keep out of his way
25:40 in case he pointed that umbrella at one of us.
25:43 If that happened, your number was up.
25:45 Punishment would follow.
25:47 Of course that never ever happened to me.
25:49 But remember, God is not looking for reasons to punish us.
25:55 He's already got all the reasons He needs!
25:57 God's looking to save us, to get us into His eternal kingdom.
26:04 And that's good news.
26:06 When I was a boy my brother did something wrong
26:08 that my father wanted to address.
26:11 Now, Dad knew who the transgressor was
26:12 but he let some time pass so that my brother
26:15 would have an opportunity to confess his fault.
26:18 My dad was a just man and he wanted my brother
26:20 to examine himself and, and then set this problem right.
26:24 My father at the time
26:25 worked on the old-fashioned telephone exchange.
26:27 My brother called him at 5 o'clock one morning and said,
26:31 "Dad, it was me."
26:34 "Okay, my boy," Dad said.
26:35 "Let's just leave it there."
26:39 Dad gave my brother some insight that day into what God is like.
26:42 We can go to God and we can say,
26:44 "Lord, it was me."
26:46 And God will say something just like that.
26:48 "Okay, my child, let's leave it there."
26:52 With a heavenly Father like that,
26:55 you don't have to fear judgment.
26:57 You can face the future with confidence.
27:00 God wants to know, the real you.
27:04 And He wants you to know, the real God.
27:08 Let's pray together.
27:10 Our Father in Heaven,
27:11 I thank You, that You really are a God of love,
27:15 who sent His Son into the world not to condemn us,
27:18 but so that through Him we might be saved.
27:21 We have so many faults.
27:23 Here they are.
27:25 Please, would You take our heart, and make it Yours.
27:28 Live Your life in us, cleanse us,
27:32 forgive us, and we look forward to that judgment.
27:36 We know that when our name comes up,
27:38 the sins will all be gone, because of what Jesus has done.
27:42 We are confident today in Your love and Your goodness.
27:45 And we pray, in Jesus' name,
27:48 Amen.
