Judgment Is Coming and There’s No Escape

For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. — Malachi 4:1

Certain things in life are absolute. One of them is death. We each have a day we die. But there is another absolute day. Judgment Day. The day that God returns to judge all people. And in the time we have in this life, we can pretend these days are not absolute. But that does not change the fact that we will die, and God will return.

And so we have a choice in this life. We can live like these days exist or pretend they don't. If we pretend they don't, we'll be convinced that we can get away with doing evil. We might even reason that others are doing evil, and they get away with it, so why don't we? But all this does is lend itself to pride, arrogance, and self-righteousness that refuses the reality of judgment and death.

So you could live like there is no ultimate Judgment. But what if that day is real? What if a Judgment is absolute and imminent? Wouldn't you rather live now like that day is coming than live likes it's not and spend eternity in a living hell?

ASK THIS: Do you believe Judgement Day is absolute and imminent?

DO THIS: Live like it.

PRAY THIS: God, I believe you are coming soon. Count me with the faithful.

PLAY THIS: Even So, Come.
