There are three things that matter in this text before you can preach judgement from it. First, the throne makes it's seventh appearance of the book and all of them need to be seen together, to be fully understood. Second, The one who is on the throne is both God and Savior. And third, your life matters here because integrity matters; witness matters; sincerity matters in all issues–especially in faith.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
