Judged or Saved?


Ezekiel 7:13, 17, 27
13 No one will strengthen himself Who lives in iniquity.  17 Every hand will be feeble, And every knee will be as weak as water.  27 I will do to them according to their way, And according to what they deserve I will judge them; Then they shall know that I am the Lord!’ ”

Isaiah 35:3-5
3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees.  4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”  5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Are we to be judged or saved? Rebellion and sin against God leads to certain judgment with God's anger, and we truly get what we deserve.  But when we see this coming, our weak and shaking knees find strength in God's vengeance on sin through the cross, and He opens blind eyes and deaf ears to hear good news of forgiveness and reconciliation in Jesus Christ!
