Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Once the gates of grace remain open, God will forgive, wherever, and whenever the persons or nations in question genuinely repent, with the sole intention of turning away from the sins in question. But if we continue to knowingly transgress His laws we would be held accountable. There is too much killing all around the globe, too much fraud, violence, lies, and conspiracy theories.
And with the recent perversion of justice by those in high places, we have reached an inflection point in our history, for when man has reached his max, it is time for God to work. In other words, the extremity of man paves the way for God’s opportunity.
Therefore, there must be a balanced understanding of God’s grace, and justice, because when the two are held in the right perspective it paves the way for us to love God with all our heart and soul, yet being mindful not to take His grace for granted. In harmony with this view, we will end our discourse with a passage of Scripture that reiterates a correct understanding of our first verses, and it is God’s will that our relationship with Him will be informed by what is written in His word.
Isaiah 1:19 If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
