I Have No Cause for Alarm”

What makes you think so? From whence did you get your information regarding the eternal world and your destiny there? Do you acquaint yourself with what God says about you and your state as a sinner before Him? Have you considered the solemn words, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"? Heb. 9:2727And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27).
Have you no cause for alarm in view of the judgment? Will your secret life stand the searching light of the throne of God? Is there nothing you have cause to fear will meet the condemnation of a holy God, Who seeth not as man seeth? If you have already dealt with God about your sins, been convinced of their hideousness and enormity in His sight, and taken refuge in the atoning death of Jesus Christ, by which alone a righteous God is satisfied and His mercy set free toward the guilty, on account of which He can be Just and at the same time the Justifier of the believing sinner (Rom. 3:2626To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Romans 3:26)), then truly you have no cause to fear. Of all such, God says, their sins "are forgiven" (1 John 2:1212I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. (1 John 2:12)), they are "saved" by grace (Eph. 2:88For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8)). there is "no condemnation" to them, for they are "in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:11There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)). But if you are yet without Christ, and in your sins, you are "condemned already" (John 3:1818He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)), and you have great cause to fear, for ahead of you there is a "fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation" (Heb. 10:2727But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. (Hebrews 10:27)).
