“Cause and Effect”
Revelation 15: 4: “Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You alone are holy; For all the nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.” Here, in a nutshell, is the mission of the Church: We reveal the righteous acts of God, and all nations come to worship Him. Then the way is paved for God to exercise His wrath upon unrighteousness. St. Paul put it just as plainly: “Ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.” (2 Corinthians 10: 6)
