Daniel 5:20, 23, 26-28
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 23 And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. ...and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified." "26 This is the interpretation of each word. Mene: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 Tekel: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 Peres: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

To deny God and His honor and glory only leads to destruction - both now and after death. He has our breathe of life in His hands; how can we say He is not fair to take it away when we are made by Him for Him? When we sin by disowning Him, we reap fair justice. We will be counted with Christ or not, weighed by our response to that gospel, and divided as sheep and goats at the judgment seat of Christ. We are to acknowledge His sovereignty and glorify Him. Let us believe His Son and honor Him now!
