The Purpose of Holy Fear
The reader is encouraged to meditate on the final judgment to cultivate a godly fear and hatred of sin.
Today, reflect on the final judgment so that this thought might awaken in your soul the two primary affections every faithful Christian should have: the fear of God and a hatred of sin.
