Mercy Has A DEADline
“Know ye not that the UNRIGHTEOUS Shall NOT inherit The kingdom of God? Be Not Deceived.”
1 Corinthians 6:9
God is merciful. In fact, God is SO patient
and merciful that it defies our sense of justice or understanding!
Dozens and dozens of scriptures continually point to his loving kindness
to wait upon all that have gone astray. Like the parable of the shepherd
looking for the wayward sheep, God is continually seeking for each person
that is lost and is willing to show MERCY to all -
no matter how far they have wondered off the path.
However, there is a DEADline to how far his mercy is able to reach...
When people willingly move so far away from
godliness, righteousness and truth then the 'Line
Of Mercy' changes into the 'Deadline Of Judgement.'
The socially “politically incorrect and offensive”
sins that are listed in today’s verse
( 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ) were not listed in this message.
Why? Because for many today, most of the things in this list are perfectly OK,
and this raises a question that all of us need to answer,
and that is:
What Do You Consider as Righteous or Unrighteous Behavior?.
In our modern free-thinking world, the line between 'OK'
and 'NOT OK' is a line of our own choosing.
It is not based on any standard, only by what people think or believe.
However the question is:
- What is your deadline?
- Where do you draw the line between right and wrong & going too far?
- What to you is acceptable or not acceptable behavior?
Friend, while we are all free to do what we want and think.
From God’s persective there is His Line. From your perspective
there is Your Line.
You are free to choose the line you do not want to cross.
— Which DEADline is it?
God Bless Your Day
