Hello ebrain, It’s understood that the Lord exercises "perfect justice" in everything that He does. The Lord is at work in His church orientating His own and conforming them to His will and purpose. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Once we are members of God family the object lesson is conformity to the image of God’s Son. If, while we are still in this life and we refuse the Lord’s correction, He can and does remove the obstinate ones and orientates them very quickly in eternity without their old sin nature getting in the way. Some believers have to learn their lessons the hard way. Romans 8:29 (A) For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. It helps to notice, in the scripture that you mentioned, the following reason. 1 Cor. 5:5 (A) deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, Emphasis on the word “flesh”. The next word in the verse is, “that”, and here comes the reason. 1 Cor. 5:5 (B) that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. The ones that undergo the previous action are loser, “believers”! But, 1 Cor. 3:13-15 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. I’d rather learn the easy way, CDBJ |
