GOD FORGIVES SINNERS--PART 3

Now, I want you, to get This Truth;
GOD USES CREATURES, AS SECOND CAUSES, TO FULFILL HIS WILL.
He accomplishes His Purpose through men and demons.

He used Egypt, to cause His People, to cry to Him, for Deliverance.
Later, when Israel became disobedient, God used Assyria, to scourge the nation, for its shortcomings.
Isaiah 10;5-6--''O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, ans to tread them down like the mire of the streets.''

In 2 Samuel 16;5-13, God used Shimei, to chasten David, to accomplish His Purpose.
Satan and unbelievers are instruments, used by God, but not to the extent, that they are devoid of power, to act for themselves.

Men are motivated by their own plans.
But their affections are wretchedly misplaced, and their actions manifest their inward conditions.
Romans 1;18-32--[Turn].

God enters into every secondary cause, but He does not co-operate in Sin.
God gives life, ans man misuses the ability, He gives him.
Acts 17;24-31--[Turn].

Sustenance and Government are two aspects of The One Almighty and Omnipotent God--
Romans 11;36--''For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things; to whom be glory forever. Amen.''

Colossians 1;16--''For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him.''

Proverbs 16;9--''A man's heart deviseth his way, but the LORD directeth his steps.''

Psalm 146;10--''The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.''

Now, how can the two aspects of Providence--God's Sustenance and
Government, leave room for Human Responsibility/

we will answer this on our next post.
