Preparing for God's judgment in Psalm 110:6?
How can believers prepare for God's judgment as described in Psalm 110:6?

The solemn scene of Psalm 110:6

“He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the heads of many lands.”

• This verse pictures Messiah’s decisive, worldwide judgment.

• No nation or individual escapes His scrutiny (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:10).


Why judgment is certain

• God has appointed a day and a Judge—Jesus (Acts 17:30-31).

• Judgment begins “with the household of God” (1 Peter 4:17), so believers must be ready now, not later.


Preparing through faith in the Judge

• Trust His finished work: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

• Hold fast to the gospel you received (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

• Keep short accounts with God—confess sin quickly (1 John 1:9).


Preparing through holy living

• Pursue practical holiness: “Be holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:15-16).

• Guard thoughts and actions, knowing all will be revealed (Luke 12:2-3).

• Cultivate the Spirit’s fruit—love, joy, peace… (Galatians 5:22-23) instead of works of the flesh.


Preparing through faithful service

• Steward gifts and resources well (Matthew 25:14-30).

• Serve Christ’s body: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others” (1 Peter 4:10).

• Invest in the Great Commission—praying, giving, going (Matthew 28:18-20).


Preparing through enduring hope

• Fix eyes on things above, not on earthly decay (Colossians 3:1-4).

• Encourage one another with the promise of His return (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

• Persevere under trial, knowing a crown awaits (James 1:12).


Living today in light of that day

• Regular self-examination (2 Corinthians 13:5) keeps hearts tender.

• Gather with believers; corporate worship sharpens readiness (Hebrews 10:24-25).

• Walk in reverent fear and confident assurance: “Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful” (Hebrews 12:28).
