"See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to Him, and to keep His commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.”
Hear how the God of creation Himself speaks of this matter. Here lies the whole of the divine mercy: It’s all on this side of the day of judgment. Till the end of time, God is compassionate and long-suffering, and continues to every creature a power of choosing life or death, prosperity or destruction; but when the end of time is come, there is an end of choice, and the last judgment is only a putting everyone into the full and sole possession of that which he has already chosen.
-- Adapted from William Law in “An Appeal to All
that Doubt”
