Verse of the Day (September 26, 2019)

Verse of the Day (September 26, 2019) – These verses, along with verses 27–29, reveal the severity and certainty of God’s judgment. At times some express the idea that God’s punishment ought to be milder during this age of grace. They entertain the notion that judgment was more severe under law. These verses should shatter that impression. This harmonizes with what Jesus often taught. The man who has greater revelation will receive greater judgment (Matt. 11:20–24); and to whom much is given, much is required (Luke 12:48). One’s knowledge of God ought to strengthen, not weaken, his awareness of God’s inevitable judgment. His divine character demands justice and holiness; His divine attributes can perform punishment. The fifth warning passage (12:18–29) further reveals God’s judgment. (The KJV Study Bible) #BMSeminary
