Should you ask how you could be a threat to the devil and have a well-known reputation in hell for being a harm to the evil powers, I answer with a series of questions:
How much do you talk to the lost at a personal level and try win them to Jesus Christ?
How far are you prepared to go in your commitment to Him?
How willing are you to be led outside your comfort zone – or do you resent that this could be asked of you?
Are you rid of all bitterness and grudges – and do you totally forgive those who have hurt you (Satan cannot work through a person who is devoid of bitterness and God won’t widely use the person who is vindictive)?
Furthermore, do you dignify every trial God allows – or do you complain and grumble the whole time?
How much, how regularly and how sacrificially do you give financially to the Lord? And, oh yes, how much do you actually pray every day?
Our reward at the judgment seat of Christ will not be based on whether we were liked, admired by Christians, built up a good reputation among the saints, or being famous. Our reward should be given on a basis of whether we were known in hell and were a constant threat to Satan and is fallen angels.
