I Have No Cause for Alarm”

What makes you think so? From whence did you get your information regarding the eternal world and your destiny there? Do you acquaint yourself with what God says about you and your state as a sinner before Him? Have you considered the solemn words, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"? Heb. 9:27.
"God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing" Eccl. 12:14.
Have you no cause for alarm in view of the judgment? Will your secret life stand the searching light of the throne of God? Is there nothing you have cause to fear will meet the condemnation of a holy God, Who seeth not as man seeth? If you have already dealt with God about your sins, been convinced of their hideousness and enormity in His sight, and taken refuge in the atoning death of Jesus Christ, by which alone a righteous God is satisfied and His mercy set free toward the guilty, on account of which He can be Just and at the same time the Justifier of the believing sinner (Rom. 3:26), then truly you have no cause to fear. Of all such, God says, their sins "are forgiven" (1 John 2:12), they are "saved" by grace (Eph. 2:8). there is "no condemnation" to them, for they are "in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:1). But if you are yet without Christ, and in your sins, you are "condemned already" (John 3:18), and you have great cause to fear, for ahead of you there is a "fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation" (Heb. 10:27).
"Flee from the wrath to come.”
