  by C.H. Spurgeon
========================================================================

actions to determine to whom they belong, encouraging them to belong to
Christ and experience a life of blessedness.

Topics: "Divine Judgment", "Human Accountability"
Scripture References: Matthew 25:41, Luke 18:9, John 3:18, Romans 1:20, Romans 2:14, Romans 3:19, Romans 5:12, Romans 8:1, 2 Corinthians 3:9

DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The preacher delves into the concept of being 'Accountable' before God,
emphasizing that all individuals are answerable to God as the Judge of
all, liable to judgment and punishment. Romans 3:19 highlights this
accountability, indicating that all are guilty, culpable, and subject to
trial or condemnation. The sermon explores how divine revelation through
creation, conscience, and the Law exposes humanity's sinfulness, leaving
no room for defense against God's righteous judgment. Despite attempts
to deceive oneself or others, every individual stands guilty before God,
unable to justify themselves based on personal character or behavior.

CONTENT

No neutralities can exist in religion. We are either ranked under the
banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve and fight His battles, or we are
vassals of the black prince, Satan. "To whom belongest thou?"

Reader, let me assist you in your response. Have you been "born again"?
If you have, you belong to Christ, but without the new birth you cannot
be His. In whom do you trust? For those who believe in Jesus are the
sons of God. Whose work are you doing? You are sure to serve your
master, for he whom you serve is thereby owned to be your lord. What
company do you keep? If you belong to Jesus, you will fraternize with
those who wear the livery of the cross. "Birds of a feather flock
together." What is your conversation? Is it heavenly or is it earthly?
What have you learned of your Master?--for servants learn much from
their masters to whom they are apprenticed. If you have served your time
with Jesus, it will be said of you, as it was of Peter and John, "They
took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."

We press the question, "To whom belongest thou?" Answer honestly before
you give sleep to your eyes. If you are not Christ's you are in a hard
service--Run away from your cruel master! Enter into the service of the
Lord of Love, and you shall enjoy a life of blessedness. If you are
Christ's let me advise you to do four things. You belong to Jesus--obey
him; let his word be your law; let His wish be your will. You belong to
the Beloved, then love Him; let your heart embrace Him; let your whole
soul be filled with Him. You belong to the Son of God, then trust him;
rest nowhere but on him. You belong to the King of kings, then be
decided for Him. Thus, without your being branded upon the brow, all
will know to whom you belong.
