THE TWO SIDES OF GOD

God is very good! He's good but He's also severe, or stern, if you wish. You determine the side of God that you'll see by your attitude and actions. I have seen a little of both sides.

Romans 11:22 says, "Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."

Paul did not mince words when he said we'll be cut off if we don't continue in the goodness of God. In other words, if we don't continue in Him, if we start to take the goodness of God for granted, if we abuse grace and become disobedient we risk being cut off.

God is so good and that's all He ever wants to be to us! He said to Abraham, Walk before me and be thou perfect. Jesus said, Abide in me. The choice is yours.
