What lessons can we learn from God's actions in Amos 4:11?

Amos 4:11

“I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah; you were like a firebrand snatched from the blaze, yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the LORD.


Lessons Drawn from God’s Actions

• Divine judgment is real and decisive; sin invites a literal overthrow.

• Historical judgments (Sodom and Gomorrah) stand as ongoing warnings.

• Mercy remains: God snatches a remnant “from the blaze,” preserving life.

• The spared are rescued for repentance, not complacency.

• Continued refusal to return to God after mercy heightens accountability.
