1 Peter 4:17
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:... "
I have heard people quote this scripture with all the joy they can muster, like they are the judge, also to shame (believers) the body of Christ.
When in actual fact the emphasis is on the remaining part of the verse;
"... and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" believe the Word of God, you don't want to know about the end of the disobedient.
It was Smith Wigglesworth who said these words,
"Hell is such an awful place that even the demons hate the thought of going there. How much more should men seek to be saved from the pit?"
Believers, makes mistakes too, but that does not make an outcast, that is why God the Judge of all, will be the one to determine the acts that are deliberate and the ones that are unintentional or error. God determines what causes what, and on what premise, not man.
"We justify our actions by appearances; God examines our motives."
Proverbs 21:2
"For I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of CHRIST: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERY ONE that BELIEVETH;..." Romans 1:16
Jesus is Lord!
Mark E. Airononi
