There is a verse in my Bible, from Hebrews 10, that I have underlined. When I was reading from there this morning, and I read that verse, and I read that verse it occurred to me that it is one that is probably too often overlooked.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10:31
It's a whole lot nicer for us when we think about the loving characteristics of God. This is especially the case when we are disobeying Him, and we know it. "Oh, it will be ok. God will forgive me. He loves me."
Yes, God does forgive, and He does love, but He is also just. This verse reminds us that He is living and not just sitting in Heaven ignoring our actions. The verse right before that reminds us that "The Lord will judge His people." Notice it says His people. That means Christians, not just unbelievers.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10:31
