What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. Romans 9.22

What can anyone say if God wants to show His wrath? Those who are not converted and continue to defy Him should read the Bible. They would learn that they will be destroyed if they remain in sin and rebellion. These people are led by the enemy’s lies, and so they do what the Lord says that is abominable to His eyes.

The Most High will make His power known according to the good and bad works done by all people (Ecclesiastes 12:14). He is longsuffering, but His patience has limits. The Almighty warns us that one day He will finish with all wrongdoing and will judge everyone. Why should you act in opposition to the divine will if it is so simple to obey God?

God endured with much patience the vessels of wrath that angered Him in the past. Nowadays, He will do the same for all who disrespect Him. In every case that someone sinned, there will be a punishment. The wicked must be careful, because when the Day comes, every knee will bow before the true God (Romans 14:11). No one will be able to hide or tell a lie to escape His judgment.

The devil has led many people to destruction. He continues doing the same thing through his workers. It aches to know that when these people find out that they did wrong, it will be too late. If they observed their lives daily, they would see what has truly happened to them, because the enemy enters in open doors. It is necessary to close them!

If you choose sin, God can do nothing except make you become a vessel of dishonor (2 Timothy 2:20). The Lord has a lot of patience to those who are submerged in sin, becoming instruments used by the enemy in his evil Works. Now, if you do not want to suffer for all eternity, know if you have been a vessel of honor or dishonor. Those who insist in doing what is contrary to the divine guidance will go to Hell.

The Almighty is instructing us to be examples of His riches, making Himself known in us and through us. He has prepared us beforehand in order to show His glory. We live in the same world as the lost; we suffer the same temptations, but we do not submit to the devil’s lies and do not fall in his temptations. We are an enclosed garden to the Lord (Songs 4:12).

We have been called to live in a way that is pleasant to God. Therefore, we must pay attention to the Word, without looking to the proposals from the broad gate (Matthew 7:13). He has called us to be His beloved people. Live in such a way to please the Lord, for He has given us His power.

In Christ, with love,
