Episode 63 -The Last Judgement

The Last Judgement is neither a threatening time nor a surprise. From the beginning of time, God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) has told us, “This is how I want you to be.” The apostolate also teaches how we should be to fit into the kingdom of God, according to the teachings of Jesus Christ – we need to grow in His mind and be like Him. During the thousand years of peace, all people are called to be like Him, too. But He also gave man his own free will, - He wanted to see, “Will man choose Me?” So, at the very end, God will ask all people, “Who do you believe? Who do you love? Who do you want to be with?” 

When God incarnated in Jesus Christ, He opened the way of salvation by giving His life for us - He did all of this to show us that He loves us and He wants us to be with Him, but He also wants to know if we choose Him. If we choose to love Jesus Christ, we reflect this love by loving our neighbor through our actions. These are the attributes of people who want to be in the kingdom of God. God has been telling us that from the beginning of time. We should care not only for our neighbors’ eternal needs, but also their physical needs (cf. Leviticus 23:22, Isaiah 58:6-7, James 2:14-17). 

Because we love God, we grow in our love for those around us, and when we see them in need, we react to them naturally, like in Matthew 25, when they asked the Lord, “when did we [do it]?” (cf. Matthew 25:31-46). They just did it naturally. They adopted the nature of Christ in their life, which is both one of our member expectations in the THRIVE acronym, “Transform your nature, using Jesus as your example,” and a part of being faithful to Christ, “follow His example.”
