One day Jesus will return, not as a quiet affair which no one will notice. He will come with a loud commanding shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the piercing blast of a trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Joel wrote "For the day of the Lord is great and very awesome; who can endure it?" (Joel 2:11).
Jesus said, "Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment" ( John 5:28-29).
Every person who has lived will stand before The Lord. There will be no argument about his existence, no questioning of his authority nor doubting of Truth. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is LORD (Romans 14:1; Philippians 2:11).
Given the reality of our accountability to God, it only makes sense to serve him now.(Philippians 2:12-13).
