What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the podcast. It's your host, Alex, and today we are in

week 28 of the catechism. We are flying through. We're more than halfway there. Let's jump right in.

The question says, what happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?

If you're falling along with the trajectory of what we've been talking about in

these questions, these questions in the catechism, help us grow closer to God in our faith

by helping us grow in the core doctrines of our faith and they build upon each other.

So make sure you're going back.

They're all numbered week 21, week 22, week 23,

and we're all the way at week 28 now. But this one is talking about those who are not united

to Christ by faith. So this is what the book looks like. I don't often hold it, but these next

episodes, you're going to see me holding it. And you can get this at crossway.org,

the gospel coalition. I'm not in partnership with them, but I love just how beautiful.

It's like Matt. And yeah, they just put it together really well. But if we're not united to Christ

by faith, what happens after death? Here's the answer. At the day of judgment, they will

receive the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against them. So God has already

pronounced condemnation on those who are not united to Christ by faith. And so there will be a day of judgment

coming. And on that day of judgment, those who are not united with Christ, they will receive

the fearful but just punishment. Because God is just his sentence of condemnation towards those who are not united to

Christ by faith is it's just that it's just but it's also very fearful right the Bible tells

us that the beginning of knowledge comes from what? The fear of the Lord.

Fearing him and walking in that fear helps us to have the knowledge on how to live.

We had to like share some heavy stuff at our, at our last church service.
