Confronting the difficult question of why a loving God would allow people to perish reveals a deeper truth about human rebellion. By looking back at the historical judgment and exile of ancient Israel, the devastating reality of ongoing idolatry, disobedience, and the rejection of divine warnings becomes undeniably clear. Acknowledging our profound sinfulness might be offensive to our pride, but recognizing this reality is the vital first step toward receiving the incredible mercy, forgiveness, and eternal salvation freely offered through Jesus Christ.
Scripture: 2 Kings: 17:7-18
