Episode notes

God is just, but sometimes His actions appear to be unjust. The striking dead of Ananias and Sapphira by God in Acts 5, for example, seems to be an instance of the punishment far out weighing the crime. When we realize, however, that these acts of justice are expressions of God’s holiness, they take on new light. A more complete understanding of God’s character enables one to see these actions by God with greater clarity and helps us to avoid the very real danger of taking His grace for granted. The purpose of this lesson is to promote growth in the understanding of, and thankfulness for, God’s grace.
