May the peace of the Lord be with you and your household. I give thanks to the eternal God, to the Almighty, to the Creator of heaven and earth, for the opportunity He permits us in His grace and mercy to expose ourselves to His word, to receive instruction and correction, and to expose ourselves to the power of His Holy Spirit.
Introduction: The Judgments of God as Doctrine
The first thing we must establish is that the judgments of God are a doctrinal theme of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven. Erroneously, there are those who believe that the way God dealt with the people of Israel in the accounts presented particularly in the Old Testament is exclusively how God dealt with the people of Israel, and that this does not necessarily apply to our lives. This is a mistaken concept.
The judgments of God are not a topic that pertains exclusively to the people of Israel, but rather represent precisely the way God deals with men and women in general terms.
Jesus’ Words About Judgment
In the gospel of John, chapter 9, verse 39, Jesus declares:
“For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
These words are crucial for our understanding. We cannot believe that this is an exclusive way for God to deal with Israel. This is the way God has established within the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven to relate directly with men and women in general terms.
This has been so since man was established upon the face of the earth. We see it clearly from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation. It is important to understand this truth, because ignoring it prevents us from growing in grace and wisdom before the presence of the Lord.
The Apostle Paul’s Testimony
In Romans chapter 2, verses 2 and 3, the apostle Paul writes:
“But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?”
Paul, by the Spirit of God, clearly establishes that the judgments of God are the way God has established His dealings with men and women of all ages, regions, and times. This applies both to those who believe and to those who do not believe in Him, because God shows no partiality.
The Purpose of Judgment: Repentance
In general terms, the judgments of God have as their purpose to establish or lead man to repentance before God. This is the primary objective.
In the first epistle of Peter, chapter 4, verse 17, we read:
“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?”
This truth is also found in the Old Testament, in the book of the prophet Ezekiel. It is time for judgment to begin first at the house of God.
The Gospel from the Foundation of the World
When we speak of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven, we are not referring only to something that began 2000 years ago. The gospel has existed since the foundation of the world, since man was formed, created, and placed in the Garden of Eden. The apostle Paul, by the Spirit of God, affirms that God preached the gospel to Abraham.
Therefore, when we define that the judgments of God are a doctrinal theme of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven, we must not think that it began 2000 years ago when the gospel message as we know it began to be preached. The gospel, according to the Holy Scriptures, has existed since man was placed in the Garden of Eden.
The Importance of Understanding Judgment
We cannot ignore this topic or say that it does not apply to us, that it is not for us, that it was for ancient times or for the people of Israel. If we do, we would be mutilating the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven and not allowing the work of the Holy Spirit to reach each of our lives.
We must understand the judgments of God because all of us, without exception, pass through them on more than one occasion. First Peter 4:17 says it clearly: it is necessary that judgment begin first at the house of God.
Judgment Begins at the House of God
Every time God sends judgment upon a region, a country, a generation, a family, or a person, it does not arrive directly at the one to whom it is directed, but begins first at the house of God. This is the justice of God. Let us remember that God shows no partiality, therefore He causes all of us to pass through the judgments of God. For those to whom it applies, it will have an immediate effect, and those to whom it does not apply will pass through without complication.
Judgments Are Not Just Punishments
One of the reasons many set aside the judgments of God is because they see them only as punishments. It is true that the word of the Lord says that God disciplines those He loves. This truth applies to both the Old and New Testaments.
However, judgments are not only punishments for something bad that was done, said, thought, or committed. The judgments of God have a corrective purpose. The objective is to lead people to repentance.
Unfortunately, there are many people who, if it were not for the processes of God’s judgments, could not draw near to the presence of the Lord.
The Example of Cain
In the book of Genesis, chapter 4, we see that God tried to correct Cain, but Cain would not be corrected. Cain preferred to leave the presence of the Lord and settle in a strange land rather than submit to the judgments of God.
Judgments Increase If Not Heeded
Something crucial we must understand is that if a person does not heed God’s judgments, they do not disappear. They become complicated, they increase, they multiply, and they become increasingly severe.
The Testimony of Leviticus 26
In Leviticus chapter 26, God clearly establishes this principle. Verse 15 says:
“And if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.”
Verse 18 continues:
“And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.”
Verse 21 adds:
“Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.”
Verse 23 is especially revealing:
“And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.”
Here the purpose of God’s judgments is clearly expressed: correction. If with all these things we do not proceed to repentance, but insist on continuing to do what goes against the will of God, the judgment increases seven times more.
Verse 27 continues:
“And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.”
The passage ends in verse 36:
“And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.”
A Universal Format, Not Just History
This passage is not describing only the conduct of the people of Israel. This is the problem many of us have when we enter the pages of the Old Testament: we believe we are reading historical accounts about the conduct of a people.
What the Lord is establishing here is the format of how God acts toward any man, any woman who, being visited by Him and brought to correction, does not heed the voice of God.
God Does Not Desire the Death of the Wicked
In the book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 33, verse 11, we read:
“Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live.’”
This same word is also written in Ezekiel chapter 18. Someone might say: “But that’s from the Old Testament.” However, this is the message of the word of God in both the Old and New Testaments.
In the second epistle of Peter, chapter 3, verse 9, it says:
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
Both in the Old and New Testaments it establishes what God’s intention and purpose is: God does not want anyone to perish. The word “any” includes the totality of men and women. It includes everyone.
Why Do Some Perish?
Some perish because they do not submit to God’s correction. When some people go through judgment processes, unfortunately, as in the case of Cain, instead of humbling themselves and coming before the presence of the Lord, they become resentful toward God, they become angry with God, and they move even further away than they were at the beginning.
The Danger of Ignorance
The theme of God’s judgments is doctrinal in the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven. We must know it because many times we might have passed through a judgment of God without knowing it, and unfortunately fall into a wrong attitude: “This comes from the devil, the devil is attacking me, the devil is oppressing me, the devil has come to destroy me.”
And so we end up rebuking when in reality we should be saying: “Lord, You are visiting me, You are speaking to me, but I have acted with rebellion, I have acted with rebellion before Your presence.”
If man and woman do not proceed to repentance, there are no changes in our lives. The word clearly says in Leviticus 26 that God increases the severity of judgment seven times, giving man and woman opportunity for there to be repentance.
When Ignorance Leads to Disgrace
This is the reason why there are many people, many men and women who have fallen into processes of disgrace: they have acted with rebellion, with defiance, with resentment, and instead of humbling themselves, they have resisted the voice of God.
It is important to know about the judgments of God because ignorance is leading us to acts of rebellion, to acts of defiance, to acts against God, unfortunately believing that it is Satan who is oppressing us.
The Incomplete Gospel of Our Era
I must say it: unfortunately, in contemporary times a gospel is presented that is only about blessing, a gospel only of prosperity, a gospel only of good things, of good gifts, of everything that is pleasant and good. We have believed that this is the gospel alone.
The gospel presents the theme of God’s judgments precisely to establish God’s visitation, so that man may proceed to change, so that woman may proceed to change.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit and Fire
When John the Baptist presented Jesus the day He came to him to be baptized in water, John said something important. Many of us today have identified it more as part of baptism with the Holy Spirit.
John the Baptist said:
“He who is coming after me is mightier than I… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
Many of us identify fire precisely as part of baptism with the Holy Spirit. In chapter 2 of the Acts of the Apostles we read that when the disciples were gathered in the upper room, tongues like fire rested upon them. So we have partially believed that fire refers to baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Two Different Baptisms
When John the Baptist said we would be baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire, he was referring to two completely different types of baptism:
- Baptism with the Holy Spirit: As presented in Acts of the Apostles chapter 2. Jesus defined it as “the promise.”
- Baptism with fire: Has to do precisely with the theme of God’s judgments.
In the Old Testament there are two ways to purify, two ways to prove: one by water and another by fire. When John the Baptist said “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,” he was speaking of the theme of God’s judgments, where the person is subjected to fire with the purpose of purifying, of correcting, of proceeding to repentance.
The apostle Peter clearly says:
“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.”
They understood that the judgments of God are part of the doctrine of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven. Unfortunately, in many of our believing circles this is seen as: “No, that’s not for us anymore. The Lord has blessings for you, all He has are promises for you.” And so we miss a very important part of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven.
Judgments for the Man and Woman of Faith
Having understood this, I want to explain now why God’s judgments come specifically for the man of faith, for the woman of faith. There are particular and specific reasons.
I already said that in general terms, judgments are not only for believing people, but for all men and women. God’s purpose in general terms is to bring the person to repentance. God brings judgments upon nations, families, and persons, whether individual or collective, with the purpose that they repent.
Specific Reason: Soulish Elements
Let us now look more specifically: Why does God introduce a man of God, a woman of God into judgment? Anyone might say: “Because they surely sinned.” Not necessarily.
Judgments come because the man of God, because the woman of God insists on maintaining elements of the soul that prevent them from submitting to the lordship of Christ Jesus.
There are men and women who, although they have recognized Jesus as their Lord, are walking under soulish elements. There are elements in their soul that they have not wanted to surrender, that they have not wanted to yield. So God introduces that man, that woman into judgment so that it may be removed, be burned away, be taken away.
A man of God, a woman of God cannot walk with soulish elements.
The Testimony of Galatians 2:20
In Galatians chapter 2, verse 20, the apostle by the Spirit of God says:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God.”
That is a spiritual man, that is a spiritual woman: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”
But what happens in reality? There are men who believe: “Yes, I have believed in Christ Jesus, He is my Savior, my sustainer, my strength,” but they are walking with soulish elements.
God tells them: “Surrender this practice, surrender this friendship, surrender this situation.” He may even say: “Surrender the person around whom you are revolving, because instead of hearing the voice of God, you are hearing the voice of that person.”
There is something God is demanding and the person says: “I cannot surrender it, I do not want to surrender it.” What happens then? God subjects that person, that man, that woman to judgment processes to remove that element from them.
Biblical Examples
The Lord’s Vineyard (Isaiah 5:1-7)
In the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 5, verses 1 through 7, we read:
“Now let me sing to my Well-beloved a song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill. He dug it up and cleared out its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, and also made a winepress in it; so He expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. What more could have been done to My vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned or dug, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it. For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel.”
He is speaking of people. He is presenting the picture of a vineyard, but clearly representing people. This is the way God has worked with men, women, families, congregations, and countries.
God has visited, but there are people who have not been able to see what God has done, have not been able to see the grace of God.
Paul’s Testimony
The apostle Paul says:
“Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man…”
He recognized what he had been. When Paul speaks of having been a blasphemer, he understood as the Pharisee he was that the penalty that came upon him was death, because clearly in the Old Testament it says: “The blasphemer shall not live.”
Paul understood that his action, his attitude, his behavior was worthy of death, but he says:
“However I obtained mercy from the Lord, and He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.”
When Grace Is Not Seen
But what happens with men who are visited by God? What happens with women who are visited by God? They cannot see the grace of God, but instead see in grace a license for libertinism.
They approach things they should never have approached, they adopt attitudes they should never have adopted, they practice things they should never have practiced, they assume thoughts and attitudes they should never have assumed.
What happens then? They have not completely surrendered their lives to the Lord.
Isaiah 5:16
Verse 16 of the same chapter says:
“But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.”
When a man of God, when a woman of God does not want to strip away issues of the soul, does not want to strip away things that feed the soul, the flesh, the thought, the worldly life of man, God puts them in judgment.
It is not the enemy who came to attack, it is not the enemy who came to pressure. That is not an attack from the devil, but a judgment from God. Because of not knowing this, people cannot say: “Lord, now I understand, You are correcting me, You are demanding that I surrender to You the practice I am doing that I should not; that I surrender to You my thought, my feeling, my posture, my position, my intentions.”
They cannot see it. As we saw in Leviticus 26, unfortunately there are men and women who instead of renouncing, change the way they act, change the way they continue practicing things. So God increases the severity of the judgment seven times more.
Weighed in the Balances (Daniel 5:25-30)
In the book of Daniel, chapter 5, verses 25 through 30, we find a well-known passage:
“And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
Verse 30 adds:
“That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.”
I want to quote once more verse 27:
“TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.”
This applies to everyone. From time to time God weighs the life of the believer, the life of the man of faith, the life of the woman of faith. When we are found wanting—that is, we do not have the spiritual weight corresponding to what we are or what we have learned—then God subjects the person to judgment.
The Cursing of the Fig Tree (Mark 11)
In Mark chapter 11 we find the account of the cursing of the fig tree. Jesus was coming from Bethany, where He stayed the last week because Lazarus, Mary, and Martha lived there. Every morning He came from Bethany to Jerusalem before breakfast, spent all day in Jerusalem in the temple, and in the afternoon returned again to Bethany.
That morning Jesus came toward Jerusalem and found a fig tree. He approached to see if He might find figs on it. The text says He found no figs, only leaves. But Mark’s account tells us something that contrasts: “It was not the season for figs.”
The question is: if it was not the season for figs, why did Jesus curse the fig tree? It would seem there is some injustice in Jesus’ action.
The Meaning of Bethphage
What happens is that after Bethany there was a town called Bethphage, which was precisely the place where the fig tree was located. The meaning of the word Bethphage is: “Beth” (place or house) + “phage” (figs) = House of figs.
So the fig tree was located in the house of figs. Now we can understand why Jesus cursed the fig tree: you are in the house of figs, but you have no figs. You are occupying a position, but you are not honoring the name of the place where you are.
Spiritual Application
There are men and women who are in places of revelation, in places of God’s visitation, but many of them are not honoring the name of where they are located.
Do you know what comes next? A judgment from God. Why? Because having received revelation, having received visitation from God, you have not moved according to it, you are not acting according to it, you are not living according to the revelation God has given you.
You are seeing revelation as knowledge: “How good, how good that now I know this, how good that now I understand this.” In reality, if we do not work with it as revelation but as knowledge, what will come next is a judgment from God.
Why? Because we are not walking giving honor to what God has done with us.
Prosperity Without Honor
God has visited us with prosperity. Are you giving the Lord honor through the fruit of your goods? Do you receive prosperity, but are you honoring the Lord and contributing to the Kingdom of heaven?
If the answer is no, you know what comes next. Why? Because there are elements in the soul that are still governing our lives. We are not living under the lordship of Christ Jesus, we are not walking under the will of God. The soul is governing in the life of man, it is governing in the life of woman.
This cannot be. God does not tolerate this, God does not permit this. That is why God’s judgments come. And if man does not understand, if woman does not understand, resists and is reluctant to what God is demanding of them, Leviticus 26 says it increases seven times more.
Now you understand why there are people who have lost everything. Unfortunately they have lost everything because they could not honor the Lord with the prosperity He was giving them, because they could not honor the Lord with the multiplication He was giving them.
True Life of Faith
The life of faith is not just being part of or forming part of a congregation. That is not the life of faith. The life of faith is walking as the Lord is teaching us, according to the word of the Lord. The other may be a religious life, but not necessarily the life of faith that the Lord is demanding.
The Plumb Line (Amos 7:7-9)
In the book of Amos, chapter 7, verses 7 through 9, we read:
“Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. And the LORD said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘A plumb line.’ Then the Lord said: ‘Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.’”
This case is very serious. “I will not pass by them anymore” means there has been recurrence, recurrence, recurrence. We know it is not what God demands, we know it is not what God wants, we know we are not acting as God wants, but we recur.
“No one sees me, no one sees me, therefore I can keep doing it.” But there is One who sees you. There is One who sees us.
Measured with a Plumb Line
“I have already set a plumb line. I am going to measure the verticality of this wall”—establishing us—. “I am going to measure whether you are acting according to what I have taught you. I am going to measure whether you are walking according to what I told you about how you should walk. I will not pass by you one more time.”
These cases are very serious because the person falls into a very grave situation. In some cases—I must say it, although some will not like it—there may even be a process of death. Yes, just as you hear it.
We do not like it. Why? Because many of us have the idea that God for us is blessing, is prosperity. “Give me more promises, give me more benefits, give me more prosperity.” That is the idea many of us have.
But I must say that the word of the Lord establishes the consuming fire. “I will not pass by you one more time.” There are people who must be removed from the earth, precisely because they reached the limit. They reached the limit of “I will not pass by you one more time.”
Summary: First Reason for Judgment
We have in these examples one reason why God’s judgments come for a man of faith, for a woman of faith, for a man of God, for a woman of God: because they are still walking with soulish elements.
Their soul is still governing. It is governing their feelings. They act not by the conviction of the word, but by what they feel. They act by their thinking, they act by their appreciation of things, not by what the word of the Lord establishes.
A man of faith, a woman of faith cannot walk with the soul. We are spiritual beings. God demands that we walk by the Spirit of God. “As many as are led by the Spirit of God,” so it is established in several texts, particularly of the New Testament.
God demands that we live by the Spirit:
“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
But many still live according to the flesh. They still think: “We must compensate someone’s sacrifice” or “We must compensate the loss from a disgrace. Oh, poor person, poor person.”
That does not apply in the Kingdom of heaven. It does not apply in the Kingdom of heaven. But there are people who have chosen to live under that circumstance.
God’s judgments are to remove those soulish elements with which we have walked.
Second Reason: Not Establishing Justice
I will go to another explanation. Why does a judgment of God come? This will surprise us, because many times we do not establish justice. On the contrary: we mock, we scoff, and in some cases we laugh at someone’s disgrace.
The Testimony of Obadiah (Obadiah 1:12-15)
In the book of the prophet Obadiah, chapter 1, verses 12 through 15, we read:
“But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother in the day of his captivity; nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress. You should not have entered the gate of My people in the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. You should not have stood at the crossroads to cut off those among them who escaped; nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained in the day of distress. For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.”
As You Have Done, It Shall Be Done to You
Why do God’s judgments come in this second form or second reason? For having mocked someone’s disgrace, for not having helped in the time of someone’s disgrace, for having scoffed at someone’s disgrace, for having even increased someone’s disgrace.
Have you realized how many times we may have said: “Well, let it happen to them”? Is that authorized by God? It is not authorized by God. Those who have engaged in this type of situation have fallen into judgment or will fall into God’s judgment. Why? Because that is not justice.
God’s Nature
In the book of the prophet Jeremiah it is established:
“But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight, says the LORD.”
You will not find that God wants us to mock, to increase disgrace, and worse still, to say: “How good that this is happening to them.”
Verse 15 says it clearly:
“For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.”
This is very serious, very grave.
Taking Advantage of Others’ Disgrace
How many times have people come to us who have fallen into disgrace or difficult situations and we have taken advantage of that person’s condition? How many?
If we are conscious and truthful, we will realize that on more than one occasion we have taken advantage of another person’s disgrace.
Is that the teaching of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven? I must say no. That is not the teaching of the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven.
How many people have said: “Wow, what a blessing, what a blessing” because of or as a result of your brother’s pain? Can that make God’s blessing? That we receive benefit from what your brother is going through?
No. Unfortunately many of us still live in paganism, still live under the pagan concepts that the man who does not know God walks in.
Eternal Life Is Knowing God
That is why it is very important that we understand what the New Testament says. In chapter 17 of the gospel of John:
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
The apostle spoke by the Spirit of God in Galatians chapter 2:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”
The purpose of the life of faith is that Christ live in us. This is the purpose of the life of faith in Christ Jesus.
When the Soul Governs
When the soul is still governing our lives, when thoughts—and many of them worldly thoughts, philosophical thoughts, thoughts of the cunning of this world—are still governing our lives, take it for certain: we are going to pass through processes of God’s judgment.
Why? Because none of us will be able to present ourselves before God with those attitudes, with those thoughts, with those actions, with that criterion, with those arguments. We will not be able to present ourselves.
God says in the Old Testament:
“The LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”
Conclusion: The Blessing in God’s Judgments
It is important that we understand this topic: the judgments of God. The judgments of God are not only punishment because you behaved badly, because you did what you should not have done.
The judgments of God have the purpose of bringing man, woman, to repentance. They are confrontational processes so that man abandons his soulish life, abandons his attitude, his thinking, abandons the customs that have governed until that moment.
That is why it is important that we know the judgments of God.
The Correct Attitude Toward Judgment
A man, a woman who walks under the will of God will see a blessing in the judgments of God:
“God is purifying me and I submit, I surrender, but above all things: Lord, I surrender to You. I surrender my soul to You. My soul is still governing. I have still had attitudes, passions that are not in accordance with the moving of Your Holy Spirit. I surrender them, Lord, I surrender them, I surrender them. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”
This is the purpose, the purpose of the life of faith in Christ Jesus.
I bless you. May the peace of the Lord be with you. Amen.
