every day they live by Charles
Simeon Romans chapter 2 verse 5 because of your hard and impenitent
heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath
when God's righteous judgment will be revealed Every day they
live, the unsaved increase the quantity of their iniquities,
guilt and misery. Hence, as strange as it may seem,
immediate death, even though attended with immediate damnation,
would be a mercy to them. Who does not see that it would
be far better for an unrepentant person to die and be cast into
hell immediately than to live longer only to heap up additional
wrath for himself? For though his torments would
come upon him a little sooner, yet the reprieve of punishment
for a few additional months or years would bear no proportion
to the increased intensity of misery that he must henceforth
eternally endure. Miserable man, whoever you are,
it would have been better for you if you had never been born.
