Did you know that the most advanced, high tech recording device in the universe has been noting some key vital signs of your life since birth? Like what? Let me demonstrate: Let’s go back 6,000 years ago before TV, phones, planes, camcorders, tape recorders, cameras and newspapers to Gen. 4-5.
Gen. 4:5 Cain’s emotions – anger
Gen. 4:8 Cain’s conversation
Gen. 4:8 Cain’s action
Gen. 4:9 Cain’s conversation
His very words recorded. No one but God and Cain was there! Stop now. Think. God has noticed and recorded your emotions, conversations, actions when no one else was present.
Gen. 9:2 God sees us in secret
Gen. 12:4 God records our responses to His word.
Gen. 39:6-18 God records our response to temptation.

The recorder is on — has been on — stays on — nothing is missed! We saw that in Genesis.
The reckoning day is coming (v. 10)
– public “we all”
– personal “each one”
– impartial “Jerusalem is the seat of Christ”
– specific “recompensed…in body”
– comprehensive “all what done…”

Have you ever gotten a present — and it was a dud, white elephant, etc. Like that pink, polka-dotted shirt or a wide tie, etc.
Have you given a present to a loved one and they said: “but don’t you know I don’t like….”
God has laid down 5 specific things He is looking for and that count to Him forever. So much so He’s passing out crowns for those that are not fragile
Jesus Christ said to lay up treasures that aren’t fragile.
What do you have that an earthquake, tornado, fire, war, stock crash, thieves or death can’t take from you? Those are eternal things.
There are FIVE ACTIONS things God remembers for good! (“Good or Bad”). In order, written in Bible:
