judgment sin who is God?

God is faithful to forgive us, but He is also faithful to judge sin accordingly.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   When it comes to the faithfulness of God to His word, we normally only think of it in terms that directly benefit us. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” We rarely apply the truth of God’s faithfulness to His word to when God’s word is a pronouncement against us. “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.” Somehow we have missed, or downplayed, that God is faithful to His word in this aspect. Perhaps it is because we do not have the right understanding of grace. We have been told that God has storehouses of grace ready to heap upon His children, but just because God is a God of generous grace does not mean He will not be faithful to His word. When you presume upon grace, you taint grace. So that is what is before—the faithfulness of God to his word to discipline David. Do not treat lightly the warnings of God, for he will be just as faithful to them as the promises of blessings.
