Conclusion:

Judgment on ungodly individuals

The nature of God’s judgment is that it is certain, you will not escape His judgment.

God’s judgment is righteous and it is impartial.

You will get a fair outcome with God and man will be without excuse.

God is not judging because He is mad or angry.

His judgment has a purpose.

His judgment displays His glory; it vindicates the righteous; defends the weak; brings salvation; punishes sin; and turns people back to Him.

There is a purpose for you being here today that you might hear the judgment of God and avoid a sentence of eternity without Him.

God has not been hasty with His judgment but time is not a gamble you want to make.

You must make haste and believe God at His word before it will be too late.
