Thirdly, How terrible is God to impenitent sinners (when awakened) in the day of death! What is Death? In this Book Death is called The King of Terrors. Now, if when Death is making its approaches to a person, who lives in a contempt of the ways and word of God, if when his breath sits upon his lips, ready to depart, and the King of Terrors is ready to tear his caul, and to rend his heart-strings asunder, if then, I say, God appears in terrible Majesty, what condition will such a one be in? To have Death the King of Terrors, and the Living, the ever-living God in terrible Majesty falling upon a poor creature at once, is a thousand deaths at once.

Fourthly, What will sinners do in the day of judgment? that will be a terrible day indeed. The Apostle (2 Cor. 5.10.) having said, We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive according to what we have done in the body, whether good or bad; presently adds, knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; that is, knowing how terrible the Lord will be to impenitent sinners, to all whom he finds in their sins, knowing this terror of the Lord, and how terrible the Majesty of the Lord will be to such, in that day; we persuade men, we do all we can to pluck them out of their sins, and turn them to God in Christ Jesus, who saves his people from their sins; for, to be sure, that will be a most dreadful day to sinners. Thus the Majesty of God will be terrible to the wicked and ungodly, especially in these four days. Only they who fear the Lod and take hold of his name by faith shall be able to stand before his terrible majesty. God will not be a terror, but a comfort, to them hat fear him in every evil day.
