Subject: Do His grace and no bitterness relate? |
Bible Note: Nolan, I was hpoing for something else. Hebrews 12 is about maintaning the faith no matter how hard it gets. In the immediate context we see a need to strenghten the faith and make level paths (vv 12-13 (Pro 4:26)). Verse 14 calls for us to be holy. It takes a strong faith and holiness not to bitter. Easu is an example of this bitterness (vv 16ff). He missed the grace of God. Bitterness can lead to anger and that is worse (Gal 5:20, Jas 1:19). It does not affect our salvation, only our fellowship with Him. If I have bitterness, I need God's help. Steve |
