“For we know Him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:30-31
The author quotes two passages from Deuteronomy 32 to make the point that judgment belongs to the Lord and that God’s people are not excused from God’s judgment. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God because there is no other sacrifice for sin than Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, only a fearful expectation of judgment. All sin not covered by the blood of Christ will result in great loss at the judgment seat.
God calls us and equips us with His Word and Spirit for strength to face this world of sin and evil. Spiritual strength means integrating our faith with every area of life. Faith is not just one more thing on a list of a hundred things, but rather the foundation of who we are. If our walk with Christ is real, it should become evident to others. Faith that is alive and growing is faith unleashed. God promises eternal salvation to all who steadfastly confess Christ.
God’s blessings on your day…
