In the last day

The end is neigh. As a believer I wait hopefully for the day of our Lords return to unite and glory in His righteousness. What a wonderful day we anticipate. But for those who believe not this day is still eminent. This day will still arrive to their peril and damnation. Dear friend I pray that any among us that knows not His grace that it pleases Him to reveal His mercy. I pray He pierces our heart while there is still light.

Extra Credit: Today we hear from John Calvin, on Numbering our days

Jhn 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.


- What is the Word that they will be judged by?

First there will be a last day. There is a day, without doubt, appointed in time that our Lord will return. There is a moment in time when time will be no more. There will be finite existence to this world, as we know it. (II Peter 3:10)

Second that there will be a final day of judgment. On this day, on Christ return, every knee shall bow and every tongue confesses that He is Lord. His judgment will be fully revealed. All hidden things of sins will be brought to light, all laws broken by men will be amplified and His justice honored. (Acts 17:31)

Finally it will be Christ Word that will pierce the hearts and judge sinners on this day. The Word is true. His Word that endures until the final hour. The Word that is Devine and is written on the hearts of men. The Word rejected by men will be their judgment. (Rom 2:16)
