We all like to focus on God’s Great Mercy and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s so comforting to think about God’s Great Love for all of us. And to know, that when we fail. He will be there to catch us, and to forgive us. And to Love us!
But God is also Just. And His Justice is not necessarily something every one likes to focus on. And yet, if God were not Just, would we follow Him? What’s the point of striving to do all that the Bible teaches us, if it doesn’t matter? Thank God, it does matter. And that is one of the reasons for the Unforgivable Sin. We have our whole lives to accept Christ, but at some point, there has to be a reckoning. This is it.
God is indeed Merciful, but He is also Just. And we thank Him for both ?
