The Nugget:
Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
My Comment:
When anyone engages in sinful behavior, in wrongdoing, God takes most careful note of that fact. Unless that person seeks God, and obtains forgiveness through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, that person will face punishment from God.
This is not likely to be a very popular message from the Bible. Too bad. The truth is declared repeatedly in the Bible. If you have read your Bible, you certainly cannot have missed this truth.
By studying cross references given to show where else in the Bible this or any given theme mentioned in the Bible can be found, you will discover the theme is mentioned far more often than you remember or might suppose. The fact that this theme is repeated in the Bible demonstrates its importance.
What may not be understood by many is that God declares he punishes sin and wrongdoing both in the “here and now,” as well as “hereafter.”
The Bible proof of this truth can be learned by carefully reading and considering the cross references for Genesis 6:13 which I share immediately below. These references are “live,” so that if you hover your mouse pointer over each reference in turn, a “pop-up window” will appear which contains or displays the verse the reference points to. That makes it a very easy matter for you to read all the references given. I hope you will take the time to do just that for a very instructive and sobering lesson from the Bible itself.
