“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:3131It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)).
How can there be so much indifference to this great, positive fact? If a heart has not been touched by the loving message of God’s grace, there remains only the terrible alternative of falling into the hands of God for judgment!
We live in the last days as prophesied in 2 Peter 3:3-43Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Peter 3:3‑4): “There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
There are those who not only deny God’s word, but they deny the existence of God Himself. Others do not like to go so far as that, but they say that the Bible is not inspired, which is equally bad, for “all scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:1616All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16)).
You say, I do not want to think of these things yet; I have other things I want first. I implore you not to allow anything to come between your soul and God. All the pleasures and the riches this world can offer are not to be compared with the value of your soul.
At any moment death may snap the link connecting you with this fascinating scene and the certainty is: “After this [death] the judgment” (Hebrews 9:2727And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)).
How does the title of these remarks—“Judgment Ahead”—affect you? If you are without Christ, it should terrify you, but if you possess Christ as your Saviour, you have the unspeakable joy of knowing that “there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 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)).
“ Behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.”
