Tremble for God is Just

Tremble for God is Just
Thomas Jefferson said of the United States,
“Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.” 
                                                                                       Thomas Jefferson.
This could be said about any nation. There is no such thing as a Christian nation. Many nations do have as part of their laws Judeo-Christian principles. There is however no nation on the face of the earth that can claim to be Christian.
Thomas Jefferson looking at the state of his nation in his day seen the state of the nation and “trembled” at where it was at. A nation far from God.
The same is true today not only for the United States but every nation on the face of the earth. Every nation and every person in those nations need to examine themselves and turn to God. The writer of Revelations warns,
“Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.  
He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Revelations 14:6,7.
Centuries have come and gone since that warning was given to mankind. It is a tribute to God’s long suffering with mankind that He has waited so long.
The apostle Peter tells us,
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.  
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” 2 Peter 3:8-10.
The American Evangelist Billy Graham said,
“The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation... But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.” Billy Graham.
Thus the question becomes are ready to stand before a holy God?
Please think about it.
