God Considers Wisely the Rebellion of the Wicked – (Proverbs 21:12)

Daily Bible Study
Nothing we do and no actions we take, or fail to take for that matter, go unnoticed by the Lord. God is sovereign and He is the Lord over all creation. Moreover, He alone reserves the right to judge all mankind for their wickedness whether great or small. In addition, the Bible also tells us in the Gospel of John chapter one, that Jesus is the creator of all things and that through Him everything was made. And not only is Jesus the author of all creation, but through Him all things are held together. Therefore, He has not only the right to judge all who have sinned, but He alone, because of the incarnation is the only one who can be our perfect substitute. Jesus alone is the only person who has the ability to pay once and for all times, the redemption price for our us and make us holy before the eyes of a Holy God! Dear child of God, there are two types of sins, which all people commit daily in their lives. There are the sins of "commission," which are the bad things we do. Then there are the sins of "omission," which are the things that are in our power and ability to do, but we just don't think of doing them.
For example, giving our extra money to the poor, feeding the hungry, or offering the homeless to stay with us. Moreover, God will judge us not just on these two types of sins, but also on the thoughts, intents and desires of our heart. This means even if we did a good deed, but we did it out of a desire to look good, or appear religious, that is still sin in God's eyes, why? Because we did it for reasons of pride, self-recognition, obligation or gain. We have to remember, good deeds are those things we do out of our love for God and for others, for which we never expect anything in return. More importantly, good deeds do not erase the guilt of past sin, why? Because what we consider good deeds, are God's standard operating procedure for our day to day lives, they do not count as extra credit toward going to Heaven. And because of this and because of the sovereignty of Christ, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father! Some will do so and be glorified as children of God, while many will face eternal destruction for their wickedness, rebellion and rejection of the grace of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.
