For convicting everyone of judgment by the Law, consider: “… when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed” (2 Thessalonians 1:7–10 ESV). In this passage, we are taught that our Lord Jesus, who now offers to be Mediator for those who believe in Him will come armed at the last day with flaming fire to judge, condemn, and destroy all those who have not believed God, have not received the offer of grace made in the Gospel, nor obeyed the teaching of the Gospel, but remain in their natural state under the Law or Covenant of Works.
