The Hope we have in Christ

 “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭19‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And Yahweh’s fire from heaven fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah.  He completely destroyed the cities of the plain, and all their inhabitants and whatever grew in the valley.  Jesus made it clear that if the miracles He did in Israel, had been seen in Sodom, the people of Sodom would have repented.  Therefore, it will be more tolerable for them in the Day of Judgment than for the cities of Galilee.  Knowing how God will soon judge the corrupt world, it is vital that we live holy lives.  Since all these things are on the verge of being dismantled, don’t you see how vital it is to live a holy life? We must be consumed with godliness while we anticipate and help to speed up the coming of the day of God, when the atmosphere will be set on fire and the heavenly bodies consumed in a blaze. There are coming heavens new in quality, and an earth new in quality, where righteousness will be fully at home. With all that you have to look forward to, may you be eager to live pure lives when you come into His Presence, without blemish and filled with peace. Our Lord’s extraordinary patience simply means more opportunity for salvation!  Amen!
