TOPIC: A FRIGHTFUL DAY FORETOLD
TEXT: “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:31).
Many Past judgments on earth by God, such as the great flood at Noah’s time and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire should serve as warnings to man on God’s prophesied final Judgment. Ever heard of Global warming? It is the overheating of Earth’s surface, ocean and atmosphere. It is the cause of many disasters such as high temperature, destructive floods and hurricanes. The meteorologists have continued to give helpful weather forecasts. The story of some folks on a beach is heartbreaking. Despite the warning from weather forecasters that the sea would overflow, they remained adamant, having fun. The ocean water suddenly surged forward and washed them away. That was a preventable tragedy.
The warning of the frightful judgment of all sins and ungodliness is all over the Scripture. A day has been set when God will pour His furious judgment on all unrepentant sinners, dead or alive. On that frightful day, the loving Jesus who died for the sins of the whole world will condemn all sinners to eternal hell. Are you despising the warning too? Repent and be ready for that day.
CHALLENGE: Are you despising God’s warning too?
QUOTE: Repent and be ready for that day.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to take heed to your word.
