The Bible says if you fix your sights and your hope on Christ's coming, that perspective on tomorrow will keep you on the straight and narrow today. Prophecy can help us walk a straight line. A Future to Prepare for Paul also said he lived in light of one inescapable fact. This is how I picture the judgment seat of Christ taking place. Most stores today have security cameras recording a customer's every move.
Some stores even alert people to that fact as they enter the store.
When I first saw those signs, I wondered why the stores were advertising the fact that they used security cameras. After all, the idea is to catch a thief in the act. But as I thought about it, the reason for the warning signs became clear. People who know someone is watching their every move will probably think twice before trying anything funny. But if they don't think anyone is watching, they'll be more likely to take a chance and steal something.
