In a similar way, the guilty will make their confessions when
they stand before the judgment seat of God, after every case has
been decided for life or death. An acknowledgment of sin will be
forced from each of the lost by an awful sense of condemnation and
a fearful looking toward judgment. But such confessions cannot
save the sinner.
When the records of heaven are opened, the Judge will not de-

glance, and every deed, every interaction of life, will be vividly
impressed on the memory of the wrongdoer, and he will confess
his shame. The sins long hidden from human eyes will then be
proclaimed to the whole world.
