GOD smites. ~ (Ezekiel 7:9)

God loves and wraps His loving arms around His creatures, but He also smites. He speaks of Himself in the verse above. God inflicts punishment on the wicked for their sins.  When He smites, they are destroyed.  The acceptance of the Gift of Salvation is the only way to escape His wrath.  Salvation through Christ reconciles us with God.  Do you have Christ?

REFLECTION
A lot of people get it all wrong when references are made to certain attributes of God in the Old Testament. They do not want them brought up. We need to be reminded that, for as long one is yet to be born-again, they are not freed from the old covenant. They are living under the Law, and the Lord literally treats them as such.  


When you surrender to Jesus you are no longer living under the Law, but Grace.  Jesus is fulfilled the law for us and freed us from the dominion of the old testament. Through Him, God the Father forgives our sins and chooses to forget them (Jeremiah 31:30-34 and Hebrews 8:8-12).

Jesus came so you might have life and have it abundantly.  He made a huge sacrifice on the cross when He died for your sins.  Make the decision to surrender all to Him today.


How Can I Receive Jesus Christ As My Lord and Saviour, Today?
