*It's Your Attitude Which Will Take You To Hell.*
God, because of His grace and mercy will always give men a chance to repent from their sins, but men choose to rebel against God.
*He does all this because He doesn't want to see anyone going to hell.*
🛜There are people who will be in hell but they did 'lesser' sins than the sins of king David, but David will be in heaven. The reason is because of their attitude towards the opportunity that God gave them to repent.
⏭️Both David and Cain were given equal opportunities to repent, but the responses and results were not the same.
✅God was not angry at Cain for killing his brother.
✅God was instead willing to give him an opportunity to fix things.
🎯🎯He asked an obvious question, just to show him that He was not angry at him and that He is aware of what is happening.
📍📌But Cain replied with a bad attitude: *"I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"*(Genesis 4:9-10)
⏭️To me it seems God was saying, where is your brother, so that we can talk about what happened to him and see how I can fix it if we agree, *but Cain was rebellious.*
🛜This is the same obvious question that was asked to Adam: "Adam, where are you?"
✅Adam responded in humility: "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and hid myself." After their conversation, the curse was released, but at the end, God showed them mercy and made tunic of skin and clothed them.
🔥🔥Even after he was chased out of the garden of Eden, he accepted the judgment of God with no retaliation, but it was not so with Cain.
🎯🔥After Cain was cursed, he complained all the way, as if God treated him unjustly. He even left the presence of God himself.
*The difference between these two is the attitude they gave to God.*
⏭️David also, did terrible sins before God, but when God gave him an opportunity to fix things, David immediately fell on the ground and repented with great regrets.
*This is why I am saying, in heaven we will meet people who have done greater sins than us, while some of us are on their way to hell, just because of our attitude towards our sins.*
➡️God gives grace and shows mercy to a killer that repent and gives judgment to liar who does not repent.
⏭️It is not the size of the sin, it is your attitude towards the opportunity God gives you-- that provides for grace and mercy.
*✅May you not harden your heart like Cain when God gives you an opportunity to fix yourself with Him*
And .....
✅May your attitude towards rebuke and sin be that which is acceptable to God.
In Jesus Name
Amen.
Good day and stay blessed beloved brethren
