I'm thinking today of Joel 2.1. It says,
0:05
Blow a trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm on my holy mountain.
0:10
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of the Lord is coming.
0:14
Surely it is near.
0:17
Here is notice that will make a person scared.
0:21
God is going to do in response to the unfaithfulness he sees among the people.
0:26
It isn't going to be pleasant for a lot of folks.
0:30
This is why sinners should mourn and repent.
0:33
Don't laugh at the things that we don't do wrong.
0:36
Don't take them lightly.
0:37
Let's take them seriously and change and do what's right the best we can.
0:42
God sees. He sees and will judge sin.
0:46
Jesus is coming again and ultimately,
0:49
what will happen on that day will really be determined by
0:52
what a person has done with Jesus Christ, God's son.
0:56
Did you believe on the one whom he has sent?
0:59
Let's assume for a moment that you did believe on the one whom he has sent.
1:02
Then what are you doing about what you believe?
1:04
To say you believe, to mentally ascend to something and do nothing about it is really not,
1:10
that's not believing at all.
1:11
And so I would encourage you then to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ whom God has sent
1:16
and then to live according to what you believe because
1:19
there will be those who hear the trumpet and tremble.
1:23
It will be afraid for the day of the Lord is coming.
1:27
And surely it is near.
