“A Sinful and Rebellious People”

“A Sinful and Rebellious People”

 

But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.  Despite His wonders, they refused to trust Him.  So He ended their lives in failure, their years in terror.  When God began killing them, they finally sought Him.  They repented and took God seriously.  Then they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.  Psalm 78:32-35

 

The Psalmist, Asaph, explains how the Most High God, took care of His people in the wilderness. And ALL the wonders that He performed in taking care of their needs, but the people GRUMBLED, and COMPLAINED.  And they continued to SIN and REBEL against God.  They stubbornly tested Him in their hearts.  They didn’t TRUST or BELIEVE that He could take care of their needs, really more like their wants.

 

So, God’s anger rose against Israel, for they did NOT BELIEVE God nor did they TRUST HIM to take care of them.  And God killed their strongest men.  And in spite of this, the people KEPT ON with their SINNING and REBELLIOUS WAYS.  Despite His wonders, they refused to TRUST Him.  And when the killing began, than they TURNED to God, and took Him SERIOUSLY.  They REMEMBERED God was their ROCK, and their REDEEMER.  And even though their HEARTS weren’t RIGHT, God FORGAVE them, and He RESTRAINED His Anger, because He remembered they were just HUMANS with MOMENTARY LIVES.   

 

PRAYERFULLY, you are not like the Israelites were, You cannot SIN and REBEL against God, and put Him to the TEST, and NOT TRUST or BELIEVE in Him, and NOT come under His ANGER and JUDGMENT.  He is the HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD, and you are but a MERE HUMAN BEING that was CREATED by Him and for His GOOD PLEASURE.  TIME is SHORT, we TRULY are LIVING in the LAST DAYS, and if you have NOT GIVEN your heart and life to God, then you are at RISK of spending your ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to ESCAPE this DESTINY, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, God’s ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who died, on a CROSS, so YOU might have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and DON’T be a SINFUL and REBELLIOUS person, but become a TRUE RIGHTEOUS CHILD of the LIVING GOD.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
