Hands of God

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:29-31 KJV)

Remember, the verses above were written to those who had followed Christ. The author had serious concerns for their faith: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (Hebrews 10:26 KJV)

Do you ever visualize yourself walking over the Son of God? Don’t we do that every time we ignore the promise God gave us? You know, where He said That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:15 KJV)?

But what if faith is lost, or hidden behind personal pleasure: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Hebrews 10:38 KJV)

After explaining what faith is, the writer continues to explain the unexplainable: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3 KJV)

Unbelievers ask Christians to drop their faith in God because science has shown the universe was created in a big bang. How ridiculous do they sound? Christians believe in a singularity creation when “God said”. What most scientists do not question is, What existed prior to the big bang? I’ve read Stephen Hawkin quoted as asking that question – not in a religious context – but the question begs to be answered.

For the Jew and the Christian it was answered in Genesis. Before creation, God is. Unconfined by the limitations of nature’s laws, which He instituted. Unfettered by time, which He set in motion. Unbounded by the mind of man, which in arrogance deny His existence.

When He spoke to Abram – I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. (Genesis 17:1b KJV) – He offered the same walk He offered to Adam, and that He continues to offer to all today.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31 KJV)

Instead, let us shout Peter’s words: And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:69 KJV)
