Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

You may try your selves whether you are true Believers by your desires after Christs appearance; this is the Character which the Apostle Paul giveth of Believers, that they are such as love, and by consequence desire the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Tim. 4. 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a Crown of Righteousness, which […] Lord, the Righteous Judge shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that love his appearance: All such, and none but such shall have a Crown of Righteousness, who love Christs appearing; Believers are said to look for Christs coming, Heb. 9 28. Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time, without sin unto salvation. He will appear unto all, but only to them that look for him, will he appear unto salvation. Believers look for Christs appearance, with an eye of faith, of hope, and of desire.
