A. Examine, Repent and Obey God Now, 2 Cor. 5:10; 13:5; Acts 17:30-31 (2 Cor. 6:2).
1. Don’t try to hide or deny your sin, 1 Tim. 5:24 (Rom. 2:16).
2. All is laid bare before God; now and at judgment, Heb. 4:13.
B. Live a Godly Life of Faith, 2 Pet. 3:14 (11-12).
1. Do not live hypocritically, Rom. 2:1-3 (Lk. 12:1-2).
2. Not negligent or apathetic, Heb. 4:1, 11; 3:14.
3. Serve the Master’s will with whole heart, Matt. 24:45-51; 25:19-30; 2 Cor. 5:9-11.
a. Not our own, Gal. 2:20 (Lk. 9:23).
b. His will is revealed in Scripture: Diligent in them, 2 Tim. 2:15.
C. Be Patient and Wait on the Lord, Jas. 5:7-11.
1. Vengeance belongs to the Lord and He will fully repay, Rom. 12: 17-21; 2 Thess. 1:4-8.
2. Wait for the blessing that will certainly come, 1 Pet. 1:3-5.
3. Keep being faithful, 1 Pet. 1:6-9; Rev. 14:12-13.
Conclusion
1. Judgment delayed is not judgment escaped, 2 Pet. 3:7-9.
-None will escape the day of judgment.
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.
4. If you do not, on Judgment Day you fall into the hands of the living God, Matt. 10:28; Heb. 10:31; 12:29.
