What does the Bible say
About
Accountability
Eccl 12:13-14
(13)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of
man.
(14)
For God shall bring every work into judgment,
with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Luke 12:2-3
(2)
For there is nothing covered, that shall
not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
(3)
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in
darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear
in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
John 5:28-29
(28)
Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29)
And shall come forth; they that have done
good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
Rom 14:10-12
(10)
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
(11)
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God.
(12)
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
2 Cor 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or bad.
Everyone is accountable to God
(Romans 14:12).
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans
3:23).
The young are innocent, only those who sin are guilty (Ezekiel
18:20).
We are accountable for:
for what is said (Matthew
12:36).
for what is done (2
Corinthians 5:10).
for what is owned (2
Corinthians 9:6-8).
for what can be done (James
3:13; 4:17).
for what is thought (Matthew
5:28).
for what is known (James
4:17).
