How will we survive?

The restoration of all things will take place in two ways. Christ will return to judge sin and evil, and He will usher in righteousness and peace. God will purge this world of evil once and for all. Since all of us long for justice, this truth causes our hearts to leap for joy. But since all of us are also sinners, this truth strikes terror as well. How will we survive?

The only way to escape the fair and furious judgment of God is to be on the side of justice on that day of reckoning, and the only way to be on the side of justice is by acknowledging our sentence served by Jesus’ death and accepting our vindication proclaimed through his resurrection.
