Scripture Reading: Revelation 20:11-15

On Judgment Day

Intro.

1. Wild speculations and false predictions have always swirled around the truth about the Lord’s return and the day of judgment, cf. 2 Ths 2:1-2; 2 Tim 2:18.

2. Christians have been fully armed with the truth about “the times and the seasons” (occasion and eternity, i.e., the coming of Jesus) so we are prepared when the Lord comes. 1 Ths 5:1-2

b. His will is revealed in Scripture: Diligent in them, 2 Tim 2:15.

Conclusion

1. Judgment delayed is not judgment escaped! 2 Pet 3:7-9

2. Will you tremble yet remain lost in your sin (like Felix)? Or will you heed to call to repent (like the men of Nineveh)?

3. Repent and obey the gospel now. If you do not, on the Day of Judgment you fall into the hands of the living God! Matt 10:28; Heb 10:31; 12:29
