COMMONPLACE NOTES

DESCRIPTION

'Tis fit that some bounds should be set, some limitation of the day of grace, and not that the door of mercy should stand open to rebels and enemies and obstinate despisers of Christ and grace forever and ever, so that converting grace might be given and the hearts of Christ's enemies brought to an union with him at any time, indifferently throughout the endless ages of eternity. For this is inconsistent with a proper state of punishment. A state of probation and a state of retribution don't well consist together. As long as a day of grace lasts, sinners are not judged; they are not visibly given over to punishment and misery by the sentence of the judge. After a sentence to the deserved punishment, which is eternal punishment, there can be [no] possibility of obtaining an interest in a Savior. As long as a door of hope stands open, men are not in a state of eternal death, for such a light of hope is inconsistent with that shadow of death, that blackness of darkness. But if there be any such thing as a limited day of mercy, it seems manifest that 'tis most fit it should be in this world, in this intermediate state between extreme happiness and misery, and not either in heaven or hell, and therefore that the limits of it should be the same with the limits of life. - WJE 20:501
