Scripture: “On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed.” – High Holy Day liturgy
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah.” – 2 Corinthians 5:10
Jewish liturgy teaches that our destinies are written on Rosh Hashanah and sealed on Yom Kippur. This imagery underscores the urgency of Teshuvah. Messianic believers acknowledge that final judgment belongs to Yeshua, the righteous Judge.
Repentance prepares us to stand confidently on that day. Through Yeshua’s atonement, our sins are covered, and our names sealed in His book of life. This truth brings both reverence and assurance.
Reflection: – Does the reality of God’s judgment shape the way you live today? – How can you cultivate holy fear and joyful assurance together?
Prayer: Righteous Judge, I trust in Your mercy. Seal me in Your book of life through Yeshua’s sacrifice. Help me to live each day with reverence, hope, and readiness. Amen.
