Good Morning Friends,
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Damascus, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 1:3)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Gaza, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 1:6)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Tyre, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 1:9)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Edom, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 1:11)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 1:13)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Moab, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 2:1)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 2:4)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins
of Israel, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].’” (Amos 2:6)
Do you get the point?
It’s easy to focus on God’s grace and God is
full of grace. He longs to see people come to Him and be saved. He doesn’t want
anyone to perish. He wants everyone to be saved. He is patient with people,
waiting for them to respond.
But God’s patience will run out. It did for
each of the nations Amos mentioned and judgment came upon them. God’s patience
will run out for the world, too. Judgment will come upon the world and sin will
be fully punished.
Love for God is the primary motivation to get
your life right with Him. Love for men is the primary motivation to share the
Gospel with them. ut judgment is a
motivation for both, too. Judgment is coming!
His, by Grace,
Steve
