Verse 11
11. And that The apostle, with a startling abruptness, as if from a sudden impulse, turns from the law to the great and closing execution of the law at the judgment seat of Christ. He speaks of it as if conceptually and practically standing in close connexion with the close of human earthly existence, whether individual or general. So in 2 Timothy 4:5-8, when he was assured that his own death was at hand, he held the righteous Judge as conceptually close upon death.
Sleep Life is a night; time and its sublunary engrossments are a sleep; death, judgment, salvation, are the approaching dawn before us; it becomes us to be awake out of sleep, and watch the approaches of the morning, of the glorious day at hand.
High time Urgent reason.
Nearer than Each passing moment draws us nearer to the gates of blessedness.
When we believed We are midway between our first earthly salvation and our final heavenly one.
Be the first to react on this!
