Does God Punish Sin?
When Moses led the Hebrews through the Red Sea, they celebrated, but soon after, they complained about the water shortage. Their actions caused Father God pain, and his anger burned. Despite that, He gave them water, manners, and quail as food, yet they still complained. Each time, God spared them. But when the Hebrews had a party at the foot of Mt. Sinai with the golden calf. That blatant act of disobedience saddened the Father, and HE was also ready to take their lives. Moses stood in the gap, saving the people from God’s wrath. Yet, God loved them, and as promised Abraham, He would make him a mighty nation. The nomadic family became the Jewish nation that gave us Jesus, who came to save us from our sinful ways. The Jewish people lost their homeland when they worshiped idol gods. God promised to bring them back and reclaim their land. Genesis 12:3, NIV, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Also, Ezekiel 36:24-27 says, “For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.” So, yes, El Shaddai punishes. The day will come when the passive wrath disappears. The Great White Throne of God will bring Father God’s wrath upon unbelievers. Keep your eyes lifted and pray as the hour of Jesus Christ’s return is soon.
Book Excerpt
Just The Edge of God
The original plan with our ancestors failed, and Jehovah knew this plan of action when He created us. We are God’s creation, and our ancestors Adam and Eve had a choice to make when they sinned in the Garden of Eden. El Shaddai gave the gift of ‘free will’ to choose to love and trust God or to trust man’s desires. We have ‘free will’ today, and we exercise it daily. Our independence to choose heaven or earth cannot be haphazard because Jesus the Messiah had to die for us.
He gave everything for us to live either in sin or in righteousness. The only request Jesus made was for us - was to trust and obey the Word of God, then trust and love Him. Father God does not ask we follow Him but believe in Him. It is so important we learn to trust God, as this is the mystery of God’s love for humanity. What a wonderful love God gives to us every second of every day. No human on this earth could ever give the love Adonai (God) gives to man.
It does not matter what we do in our lives; He loves us regardless, including our last breath on earth. He will forgive us only if we acknowledge He is Almighty God and ask for forgiveness of our sins with a repentant heart. You can have eternal life with the Triune God.
One great example in the Bible is the thief on the cross who asks Jesus to “remember me when You come in Your Kingdom! And He said to him, truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise (Lk 23:42-43, NKJV).” God’s Word is not complex, and as you study the Scriptures, they become natural so that a child can comprehend.
