Introduction

[PROP]

[INTER]

Here’s the question, we just answered: how should we live in light of God’s coming judgement?

We know that we are trust Jesus.

We know that we are to live holy and godly lives.

[CIT]

God commanded Ezekiel to cry out in anguish concerning his coming judgement against Egypt - a judgement soon to come and sweeping in scope.

Four WAYS we should live today so that we are ready for God’s judgement tomorrow...

Major Ideas

Way #1: We should live knowingly

Conclusion

Way #4: We should live faithfully
