He Is forgiving but He will also JUDGE and PUNISH SIN. Many people forget that as the Supreme Moral Being, He establishes what Is rightand punishes what Is wrong.lf you read the Bible, you will see that people have constantly falled because of man's sinful nature.4ws*2 roote: é BE ROOTED, KNOW GODLY@alks NAMES: BON Ala NOVEMBER 29, 2020 worRD tdi DISCUSSION PRAYER POINTS However, this does not hinder God's plan for redemption [ok atthe cross and Jesus Chrat's suffering, We wil nok understand its significance if we don’t understand the QUESTIONS |.
