Today, Pastor Mark will be reminding us how although God is love, He is also a just and righteous Judge. God is holy, and in order for us to commune with Him and eventually have fellowship in Heaven with Him, we must have the righteousness of Christ within us. In our text today, Saul dies because of his sin against God. God lovingly tries drawing everyone to repentance, and often times gives multiple U-turns to get us in the right direction. There comes a point however, when God allows us to reap what we sow because He is just and is not mocked. We need to make sure we don't take advantage of God's grace!
