The Bible teaches that God's judgment is swift and serious, with ultimate judgment reserved for those who remain in unbelief.
Scripture makes it clear that judgment is a serious matter, particularly in light of God's holiness and justice. In John 3:36, we read that 'He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.' This indicates that those who do not believe are currently under God's wrath. It's important to understand that while God's judgments may not be immediately manifested in our circumstances, they are real and inevitable. As Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, 'Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.' Judgment is coming, and the gospel age is an age of mercy and grace, but we must not take this for granted as it does not absolve the reality of future judgment.
