Where Newton's law does not fully apply

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. That's true in physics but only partially true in life. There is a reaction for every action but not necessarily an equal one.

Second Corinthians 5:10 says: "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."

For every righteous action there is hope of reward. For every unrighteous action there is promise of judgment. Although God desires to bless, nothing escapes his all seeing eye. I'm glad God does behold the devil and the good.

He is not respecter of persons. How else could God be just? If God doesn't weigh our actions, both good and evil, he would be biased and a God that I would not serve! But God be praised, he has made a way through the sacrifice of his own flesh to erase the wicked record of our past!

Jesus blood will cleanse us from all sin and his grace supplied through the gift of the Holy Ghost will enable us to live a life well pleasing to Him.

Now, this is where Newton's law does not fully apply. God's reaction to our sin was the cross and our rejection of Him, hell. However, God's reaction to those who love and obey him is eternal life. Whatever sinful, carnal pleasures we may enjoy now, will no be equal the awful torments of hell.

Neither can we, in our faithful obedience, equal the glory and splendor of Jesus Christ and heaven! The reward (God's reaction) is much greater than the sacrifice (our actions). We could never repay the love god has shown unto every one of us!
