Destroy
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay,
saith the Lord.
Proverbs 25:22
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head,
and the LORD shall reward thee.
--------------------
Our Creator God is a very loving and
merciful God. He loves every person
so much that Jesus would have died for that one person to save him from sin that is confessed and forsaken. Thus He is sad when we treat one another unkindly.
But there is a limit to God`s forbearance
for sin. God loves the sinner and wants
to save him but He hates the sin and
anyone who holds on to sin will be destroyed
with the sin. If we love God more than we love our self than we will be confessing
our sins constantly and plead with the Lord
for strength to overcome all sin.
The devil does a lot of destroying of life and property on this earth. He is out to destroy, for he knows his end is soon to come and he has not much time left to work.
Some people are teaching that God does not
destroy and kill but that is not what the
Bible says, because out of love for the
faithful flock He is merciful enough
to get rid of all the evil and the persecutors
in the end and give His people
a rest from all the cruelty.
In the end it will be God who does the
final act of destruction, for the devil will
be destroyed in it, so it will not be
him or any person who does
the destroying in the end.
