Remember Sodom and Gomorrah


God made Sodom and Gomorrah and example of His judgment on the ungodly. We read in Genesis 19:24,25 “Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”
God does not tolerate sin. No sin and no sinners will come into His presence but His judgment will come on them. The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.” That includes all sin.
No sinners will escape the judgment of God. The church might be tolerant and accept certain behavior or sin, the community might accept it, the government might accept it but God never changed and the judgment of God was shown on Sodom and Gomorrah. If we are wise we will repent and mend our ways or else we will remember Sodom and Gomorrah. God has never changed.
May Jesus bless you.
