We live in light of the coming day of wrath, first, by thinking rightly of the sin of others; we are no better than others and must not presume on God's grace. Second, we live in light of that day by giving ourselves to good works, not as an attempt to save ourselves, but in faithfulness, gratitude, and love. And third, by thinking rightly of those who have never heard the gospel; their problem is not that they have not heard, but that they have seen God and rejected him. The only way we will escape the judgment of God is through Jesus' death, sacrifice, and washing our sins away.
