Program Description

As the believers in Christ, our eternal destiny is already secured; thank the Lord for that! But, where will we be during the 1,000 year reign of Christ on the earth, the millennium? (Rev. 20:1-10). Will that be a time of enjoyment and blessing for us? Or a time of suffering and shame?

That is not yet determined; rather, it depends, not on whether we believe in Christ, but on whether we are faithful to follow Him in this age or not.

This is a side of the truth few Christians today are aware of, namely, that we are responsible before the Lord for how we live our Christian life, and will give an account to Him regarding that at the judgment seat of Christ. (2 Cor. 5:10; cf. Matt. 16:24-27). That judgment could even result in our being cast, for a time, into the “outer darkness” (Matt. 22:13, 25:30).

So in this shortcast we briefly consider, first, our responsibility as Christians, and then, just what is the outer darkness?
