Many are joking in this life but God is not. As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end: holiness unto the Father, without worldly attachments/distortion; and purity of the spirit, soul and body, without adulteration/alteration of any kind (consider Adam and Eve before the fall -the holiness, purity, power, and every other thing after the fall). We should continually seek the Lord for this deliverance. The road is straight and narrow. Many are called but few are chosen. (Matthew 7:13-23; ch 22:14)

In God, there is love, judgement, mercy and justice but humility, obedience and discipline on our part unto God, will spare us from being condemned. Let us encourage one another in the faith.
(I cry for those who do not take God serious before they realise the whole truth too late, maybe on that side of eternity)

Modernity and worldly wisdom will eventually corrupt. "...And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away." - 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Mercy...
Beautifully stated....and definitely accurate.
