Bible Question:
When God exercises His punishment or teachings through:- - afflictions - His "absence" or silence Which is more severe to a believer? Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: Hello Dear Sister; I agree with brother Steve, too. Having God's presence in our life is better then anything! When I was first born again in my spirit, I thought I should have to put lead weight in my pockets to keep from floating away! :-) Heb 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. I don't think God spanks the devil's children. I would rather be a son and suffer afflictions, then not suffer for God and be on the outside, in darkness, were there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. That would be much worse, much more severe! (I know you didn't mean not being saved, because you are referring to believers, I'm just using that analogy to make a point.) God bless John |
