Q9 What does impenitent people do, like Israel when she refused to come to Christ?
Hosea 13:9 Hosea 11:1,4 Luke 22: 2-6, Matthew 27:3-5
A: They become headstrong like “adults” and when they do so, they are naturally lead by Satan who causes them to sin.
Highlight verse: Proverbs 8:36 “All they that hate me love death.”
Reflection: Have you figured out the good news? The good news is that God sent his Son to die for everyone, in particular the wicked. He wants to save everyone that has ever been born on the face of the earth, that means me, you and everyone we see on a daily basis. Because of this, it is very hard to be lost. One really has to kick against the pricks, or bricks if you may, to be lost. It is easier to be saved then lost so why choose the latter?
When we come to Christ we come under his Spirit and power which control us rightly and leads us where He wills. We are convinced and sure that our Father knows what is best for us, because after all He IS our Creator. When one goes their our own way and become headstrong “adults” one naturally fall under satan’s reign. You can be sure that he wants nothing good in your favour. He wants to see as many as he can, lose eternal life. The only way we can be sure that we are guarded against his tricks and lies, is to be grounded in Christ.
Happy Tuesday,
