Psalms 103: 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
When these laws and instructions are obeyed and implemented, they would greatly reduce the need for GLPs, and they could prevent, to a great extent the other afflictions, like clogged arteries and other diseases, which now haunt many individuals to the grave… [Prophets & Kings pp 59] His love is not uncertain and fluctuating. Ever He watches over His children with a care that is measureless.
It was the principle of love that drove God to give us those laws and instructions and therefore, we must reiterate the first point, which says that everything God does, and every command and instruction that He has given to the human family, has its foundation its roots, and its origin in the principle of love… [2] God’s love forgives sins, but it does not always remove the natural consequences in this life….
Some persons expect that the literal results of their sin would be removed, when they seek forgiveness from God. While it is true that God deals mercifully with us, it is not always the case that the results of wrongdoing would be removed in this life. God forgives the repentant person entirely, but the damage that was done in the here and now needs to be addressed. Sometimes, God in His mercy may mitigate the fallout of some adverse consequence at His discretion, but in other instances, persons might have to face the music, even after being completely forgiven by God.
Psalms 103: 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
