As christains let us always behold both the mercies of God and the severity of GOD .
It is good and wise to do such a thing .
Most often today the severity of GOD is not mentioned and as a result a incorrect goodness of GOD is seen .
A goodness of God which holds no consequences for evil behavior .
Let us behold what paul once wrote to the church . And do notice that it was for the good of the church that he did write these things .
He tells the church to be NOT highminded but to fear , for if God did not spare the natural branches then take heed lest he spare not you also .
He encourages the church that indeed the true believers now have experienced the goodness and mercy of GOD .
But , that they too must continue in the goodness of GOD , or be cast out .
And if those who had been cast out due to unbelief , if they remain Not in unbelief can be grafted in .
We must be diligent in our walk and continuously reading the bible . Heed the SPIRIT and not the flesh .
If we will walk after the Spirit then we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh .
We must heed the voice of the LORD and follow HIM . HE has given us all we need to do so , only let us heed the SPIRIT , let us follow the Spirit
and not the flesh .
Paul reminds us that we are truly the servants of whom we obey . Whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness .
And we are reminded that we should exhort daily , lest any does become hardend through the deceitfulness of sin .
We must be looking diligently lest any man fails of the grace of GOD , lest any root of bitterness does spring up and thereby many be defiled.
The Goodness of GOD is the mercy given us IN CHRIST by grace to all who do believe . And now daily they must die and pick up the cross .
Beholding the severity of GOD , is a good thing . As are all thing written were .
Many have left off beholding the severity of GOD and instead preach a goodness that is not compatible with GOD .
Let us , who are His , mind the SPIRIT and learn very well the bible . Let us read daily and learn the sayings of JESUS .
Learn what the apostels wrote and pslams and proverbs and all sound doctrine .
IT truly does give us instruction in righteousness , its good for reproof , for correction , so that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works .
For it is clearly said , God will not be mocked . What we sow to is what we reap .
TRULY we are debtors . But not to the flesh , not to live after its lusts and affections .
For if we live after the flesh we will die , But if we sow to the Spirit then we shall live .
The reminders no matter how grave or encouraging are all for our own good , to build us up and may all truly heed the SPIRIT .
