~ 3 Incredibly Important Days ~
Day Of Salvation
~ “We
then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace
of God in vain. For He says: ‘In an
acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:1-2).
comment: Depending on which way each individual
responds to the Day of Salvation will depend on which of the following two days
they will face.
Day Of Redemption
~ “Therefore,
putting away lying, ‘Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,’ for we
are members of one another. ‘Be angry,
and do not sin:’ do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to
the devil. Let him who stole steal no
longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he
may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of
your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart
grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit
of God, by whom you were sealed for the
day of redemption. Let all
bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with
all malice. And be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians
4:25-32).
Day Of Judgment
~ “For
if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and
delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did
not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of
righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction,
making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered
righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that
righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to
day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—then the Lord knows how to
deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve
the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those
who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise
authority. They are presumptuous,
self-willed. They are not afraid to
speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might,
do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord” (2
Peter 2:4-11).
