After a quick discussion about the wicked (“Lord, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever”) … Psalm 9 continues with this sobering Statement. “God, He hath prepared His throne for judgment.” (Psalm 9:7)
So … for the reprobate, the apostate, the lost man who rejects Christ … there awaits “The Throne of Judgment!”
Revelation 20:11 … John writes: “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.” The result of this “White Throne” Judgment … “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Yes, the Throne of Judgment!
But now let’s think about the saved, genuinely Blood-washed children of God!
Throne of Judgment?
No, no, no!
Thanks to Jesus!
We are invited to another Throne …
“Let us therefore come boldly unto THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
Did you see that?
THE THRONE OF GRACE!
Big difference!
The Throne of Judgment … or … the Throne of Grace?
Just as well say, ask … HELL OR HEAVEN?
Listen to Jesus again … “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
Are you saved?
