Every day they live!

Romans 2:5, "Because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed!"
Every day they live, the unsaved increase the quantity of their iniquities, guilt, and misery! Hence, as strange as it may seem, immediate death, even though attended with immediate damnation, would be a mercy to them!
Who does not see that it would be far better for an unrepentant person to die and be cast into Hell immediately—than to live longer, only to heap up additional wrath for himself. For though his torments would come upon him a little sooner, yet the reprieve of punishment for a few additional months, or years, would bear no proportion to the increased intensity of misery that he must henceforth eternally endure!
Miserable man, whoever you are! It would have been better for you, if you had never been born!
