What lessons can we learn from God's actions in 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.
