Getting Away With It

People sometimes loose their faith because of the evil they see. They cannot comprehend a loving God allowing unspeakable acts to occur. Their viewpoint is limited to the visible world, which is understandable sense that is our daily experience.

But when eternity is our focus, we begin to get a clearer perspective. God's punishment of crimes are eternal in nature. The murderer does not get away with taking a life. His eternal life will be taken. The thief does not get by with taking someone's else's possessions. He will not possess eternal life. The one who tortures will be in eternal torture.

No act of violation will go unpunished. It was either punished on the cross or the perpetrator will bear an eternal punishment. This holds true whether a violator is a CEO of a corporation or a street thief (Colossians 3:25).
