GIVE AN ACCOUNT
Presented by Minister Lisa Kane
Published on 7.25.25
Objective:
The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand the biblical command to “give an account” (Romans 14:12). It emphasizes that God not only evaluates our actions but also the motives behind them. By examining Scripture, the teaching encourages Christians to use their God-given gifts, talents, and opportunities with faithfulness, love, and humility so that their lives may bear fruit that glorifies Christ and withstands God’s judgment.
Synopsis:
In this teaching, you are invited to reflect on Romans 14:12, which reminds us that each one of us will give an account of ourselves to God. This is not only about the things we do, but also about the motives behind them. God is interested in why we act, not just what we do.
You’ll see through passages like Titus 1:16, Luke 16, and 1 Peter 4 that every believer has been entrusted with gifts, talents, and the grace of God. These are not meant to be hidden or taken for granted, but to be used in service to others, in prayer, and in acts of love. As you use what God has placed in you, He continues to pour out more, multiplying His work through your life.
This message encourages you to live intentionally—showing hospitality, interceding for others, speaking words that build up, and enduring trials with the peace of Christ. It’s about being faithful in small things, taking steps of action in your faith, and letting God’s Spirit flow through you daily.
Ultimately, when the day comes to stand before the Lord, your desire should be to present a life that honored Him, a life where His gifts were used for His glory. The goal is not perfection, but faithfulness—so that you may hear His words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
