The Importance of Taking Personal Responsibility

 Text: 2 Corinthians 5:10

"For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due to us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

Not long ago, a young woman was attacked in a New York residential area while at least 38 neighbours watched from their windows. And during the course of the 30-minuite assault, not even one person telephoned the police. The young lady sustained critical injuries and died for the simple reason that no one would pick up the phone and call for help.

Interviews conducted with the people who witnessed this terrible crime revealed that they were not totally indifferent as many had suspected. In fact, many of them were horrified when they saw what was happening. But the main reason nobody did anything was that each person thought someone else would take responsibility and get help. This kind of attitude has created a vacuum of responsibility in our society where people simply point fingers instead of doing what's right.

But on the day you stand before God, there will be no finger-pointing. So in this life, take responsibility for your actions and stand up for what's right when others sit and point fingers.
