It will be " according to what he hath done."ģ. Some "saved as by fire " some having an "abundant entrance " some beaten with few stripes, some with many.

A great multitude, and yet no one test in the crowd! We shall be conscious of the great number which no man can number, and yet be impressed with our own individuality. ALL WILL STAND BEFORE CHRIST'S JUDGMENT SEAT. A very impressive tact that the One who died for men will judge men. A very joyous fact for those who have loved, confessed, and served him.ģ.
