The Great Day of His Wrath by John Martin.

How do we live with “The Day” Approaching?

There are insights in Hebrews 10:11-14, (15-18), 19-25

Let us make a salad out of Three Heads of LET-US (10:19-25)

Let us APPROACH (10:22) – This is our life of Prayer, Intercession, and Intimacy with God.

  • You can. The door is open (10:11-15).
  • You may because you are invited into covenant (10:16-18)
  • You must because you need it and the world needs you.

Let us HOLD FAST (10:23) – This is our stand! This is our witness and our open confession of faith.

  • Stand for hope.
  • Bear witness to the world.
  • Act in love and goodness (10:24).

Let us CONSIDER HOW TO PROVOKE (10:24-25) – This is fellowship and encouragement as we encourage love and good deeds in our brothers and sisters. Our response to Christ’s coming, whenever it might be is to encourage one another.

  • P – It is POSITIVE (Not a negative threat, but a positive affirmation).
  • R – It is REDEMPTIVE (We are forgiven people).
  • O – It is OPPORTUNISTIC (“Consider how to … ). κατανοῶμεν
  • V – It is VISIONARY (“… as you see the Day approaching …)
  • O – It is about ONE ANOTHER – We cannot do this alone. παρακαλοῦντες
  • K – It is KINETIC – forces producing motion or change. παροξυσμὸν is stirring up
  • E – ENCOURAGE – παρακαλοῦντες – Encouraging one another.
