We live in the domain of the devil. God has given him that domain, and to each of us, he gave free will to resist the devil and live as God has said. God is a God of each nation, country and nationality but He will not allow those who replace Him with statues, animals, insects or anything else to go unpunished any more than He did when the children of Israel made the golden calf and worshiped it while Moses was on the mountain getting the Ten Commandments. We have the free will to either accept what God has offered us through the blood of Jesus Christ, or to reject Him and suffer the consequences. The Bible is there to help us, not to condemn us or to scare us. But it is our decision to accept or reject. The choice is yours.
John 14:28 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not
accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
Jeremiah 23:29 "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like
a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
Psalm 10:4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
Isaiah 29:15 Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, "Who sees us? Who will know?"
I couldn't agree more with this viewpoint. I'm frustrated with people acting like "Grace" will cover everything so I can do what I want and God or Jesus will forgive me. But...let's consider the price paid for our salvation and act like Kid's Kids, not spoiled brats. Every single word in the Bible is written with great thought and care to love us in the best possible way Let's move forward on the path of Life, singing, praising, and obeying. Thanks for the awesome post. :)
