our imperfections, we can receive mercy and
forgiveness.
This is so for the convert turning to Christ
for they too can approach for their need of mercy
(Hesed) and forgiveness that restores them to
holiness and right standing with God, the just and
merciful judge. It is all by grace we cannot earn
nor purchase let alone, deserve.
At the Crucifixion, Jesus established a new
and better covenant wherein the year of Grace
began so that until Jesus returns to judge the
living and the dead, everyone no matter how bad
they are can accept Jesus as Lord and receive
eternal life and salvation. If they turn to him, God
will accept them as though they had never sinned.
However, what of those who do not repent
of their evil-doing when the warning signs of his
coming begin?
Firstly, even when the tribulations begin,
anyone can still repent and so be saved, but when
Jesus appears at the sound of an archangel's
trumpet, the day of salvation and the time of grace
ends and then only - judgement. (1 Thessalonians 4:
16-17)
