Subject: Degrees of Punishment |
Bible Note: Luke 12:47-48 "And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more." Jesus taught that degree of punishment is based on individual responsibility to God. The one who is given the greater knowledge and rebels against it will receive greater punishment than the one who has less insight into what the Lord requires of him. This is also portrayed in Romans 5:13 "for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law," as God does not count sin against those who have not been told. The one that receives a more severe punishment does so because they have a greater responsibility to God, because of a greater revelation from God. Love in Christ, Mark |
