The judgments of God upon a sinful world, only go before the judgment of the world in the last day. Calling on God supposes knowledge of him, faith in him, desire toward him, dependence on him, and, as evidence of the sincerity of all this, conscientious obedience to him.
Those ONLY shall be delivered in the great day, who are now effectually called from sin to God, from self to Christ, from things below to things above.
