THE TWO WAYS.

One of the worst sentences that God passes on the wicked is to let him live his life quietly, without too many difficulties, apart from any corrections and fulfilling all his earthly dreams. This is proof that God abandoned him to his own desires (Rom 1:21-31).

On the other hand, those who were called by the irresistible grace of the cross will experience trials, punishments and difficulties, after all, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted (2 Tim. 3:12); those who serve him will be afflicted (John 16:33); but all this is so that our character may be molded to the character of Christ, becoming more and more like Him.

Therefore, if you are a redeemed believer and are undergoing a trial, delight in the Lord's chastening, for whom he loves he disciplines. However, if you are a wicked and live quietly, enjoying the pleasures of this short life, worry.

“Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it. How narrow is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life! .", Mt 7:13,14.
