What Are The Consequences Of Failing To Observe God’s Boundaries 5

Jude 1:6-7 . . .
I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of
authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has
kept them chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the day of
judgment. And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their
neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every
kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a
warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.

Genesis 3:15-24 . . .
“From now on, you and the woman will be enemies, and
your offspring and her offspring will be enemies. He will crush your
head, and you will strike his heel.” Then he said to the woman,
“You will bear children with intense pain and
suffering. And though your desire will be for your husband, he will be
your master.” And to Adam he said, “Because you
listened to your wife and ate the fruit I told you not to eat, I have
placed a curse on the ground. All your life you will struggle to scratch
a living from it. It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you
will eat of its grains. All your life you will sweat to produce food,
until your dying day. Then you will return to the ground from which you
came. For you were made from dust, and to the dust you will
return.” . . . So the Lord God banished Adam and his wife from the
Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which
he had been made. After banishing them from the garden, the Lord God
stationed mighty angelic beings to the east of Eden. And a flaming sword
flashed back and forth, guarding the way to the tree of life.

Psalm 94:12 . . .
Happy are those whom you discipline, Lord, and those whom you teach from
your law.

Isaiah 38:16 . . .
Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health.

Hebrews 12:7-11 . . .
As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you
as his own children. Whoever heard of a child who was never disciplined?
. . . Since we respect our earthly fathers who disciplined us, should we
not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly
Father and live forever? . . . But God’s discipline is always right and
good for us because it means we will share in his holiness. No discipline
is enjoyable while it is happening-it is painful! But afterward there
will be a quiet harvest of right living for those who are trained in this
way.

Ecclesiastes 7:13 . . .
Notice the way God does things; then fall into line. Don’t fight the ways
of God, for who can straighten out what he has made crooked?
