His Love Never Ends or Fails, But He’s Still A God of Justice, Are You Bout to Get Zapped?

Today’s verse comes forth as more of a polite statement than the reality of the urgency behind what was really said and meant by God. The word consumed in today’s verse means destroyed, because God was considered to be a consuming fire. Back in the old testament, the people of God were getting zapped by God for their lack of obedience to Him. He would get so angry with Israel that if it weren’t for Moses Israel would not be here today. The Lord gets frustrated with us when He gives us instructions or guidelines to follow for our own safety and successful advancement in life, and we ghost God by not listening. But thank God for His mercy. Today we live in the dispensation of Grace. We don’t get zapped for wrong doing right away anymore, but if you’re not right with Jesus, that’s a big problem for your afterlife situation. Justice must be satisfied, it would pull on God too much to try and let it slide, and we’d be an even more reckless people without justice. As God’s mercies are new every morning, so can each temptation be, or great challenge before us. Things are constantly changing in this world along with people, and the way things have been done in life are seemingly being restructured due to new technology, AI, etc. It’s not easy keeping up with today’s flow but so we don’t get left behind or fall short of necessary knowledge to change with this world’s system, thank God for His mercy and grace. It is because of the Lord’s loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His tender compassions do not fail.
