\u201cHow much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Malachi 3:2<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap.<\/p>\n

Zechariah 13:9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, \u2018They are my people\u2019; and they will say, \u2018The LORD is my God.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Malachi 3:5<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThen I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.<\/p>\n

Matthew 3:7<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, \u201cYou brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?\u00a0\u00a0Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.\u00a0And do not presume to say to yourselves, \u2018We have Abraham as our father,\u2019 for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.\u00a0\u00a0Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.\u00a0\u201cI baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.\u00a0\u00a0His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amos 5:18<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why would you have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light,\u00a0\u00a0as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall, and a serpent bit him.\u00a0\u00a0Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?<\/p>\n

We need to be very conscious of our commitment to God. \u00a0Note the words of prophets who declared the coming of the Lord. \u00a0When the Lord returns He comes with judgment. \u00a0Everyone will face Him for what they have done in their life and for the commitment, desire, and purpose they have lived it. \u00a0I wonder if we claim the love, mercy and grace of God but do not give thought to what it means to live in knowledge of this. \u00a0If we have basic understanding of His holiness and our sinfulness we see this love, mercy and grace from God with thankfulness and a desire to live our life worthy of humbly serving, honoring, following and obeying Him. \u00a0Any other response or demonstration from our life is lacking in service to God. \u00a0Keep God first and subject all in life to understanding what it means to fully live for Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
