Judgment is no idle threat.


“Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
Amos 4:12

When a sovereign God promises
His worship to get
and unveils His coming judgment
it is not just a threat.

What a holy God purposes
that will come yet
even when He brings judgment
it is not just a threat.

God’s decrees are for certain.
The timing is set.
It will not fail to happen.
It is not an idle threat.

So pay heed to the warnings.
You will get what God has set
because His will in judgment
is never just a threat.

To meet righteousness in judgment
is not how The Holy One should be met.
But for those without Jesus
this future is not an idle threat.

But Jesus took sin’s judgment
where at the cross mercy met
the God of all justice
so we believe and aren’t under the threat.
