Judgment Or Mercy, Which Will It Be?
By: Robert A. Searles
Are you one among those who advocate the removal of the ten
commandments from public view, or one who would ban prayer during our
public events and educational systems? Are you one of those who denies
the existence of almighty God, and consequently are lost, and without
hope, ether in this world or the next?
If
you are a member of this group, I, as a servant of Almighty God, am
pressed to warn you of the consequences of your denial of one who loves
you with an everlasting love, and desires your eternal salvation and
future welfare.
I know that the Lord God Jehovah – the Lord
Jesus Christ exists and lives today because of all that he has bestowed
upon me and my family in love, mercy, and salvation. God is merciful,
and extends his love and mercy to all who will respond and receive him;
however, God is also a righteous judge, and will bring final judgment
upon all those who reject and deny him.
As God warned his
people Israel, through the prophet Isaiah many centuries ago, about that
which would become of them if they continued in their sinful ways, I
must warn you today that God will certainly bring righteous judgment on
all those who spurn his words of warning and reject his offer of
salvation through Jesus Christ. Listen to that which he said to Israel,
and that which he is saying to all of us today.
“Woe unto
them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for
bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men
of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the wicked for reward,
and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore
as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so
their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as
dust! Because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and
despised the word of the holy one of Israel. Therefore is the anger of
the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his
hand against them and hath smitten them; and the hills did tremble, and
their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets, for all this his
anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.” Isaiah
5: 20-25.
If this should be all that you have to look
forward to because of your unbelief, why not recognize God's offer of
love and mercy before it is too late, and receive Christ as your savior
today. He will not turn you away if you sincerely repent and receive
him by faith. May God be gracious unto you!
