The New Testament is full of God's love for humanity,
but there is also an abundance of scriptures that tell of His
justice as well. God will forgive anyone who repents, but, and this
is a big point, there are still consequences for sin. The creation
in which we live is based upon an elaborate system of physical and
spiritual laws that were codified before the creation began. King
David lusted after Uriah's wife and had him murdered after Bathsheba
became pregnant. The baby from this adulterous act was not allowed
to live and God said that "the sword" would always be in David's
bloodline. Paul and Barnabas got into an argument over whether Mark
should accompany them on a second mission trip. They got so angry
with one another that they went their separate ways even though God
had called them to work together as a team. The physical and
spiritual laws of God are relevant today. If you choose to disregard
them, there are unavoidable consequences. It is important to stress
the importance of obedience. You can only obtain God's blessings
when you are obedient to His physical and spiritual laws. |
