05/30/24 GOD REACHES, THEN SUDDENLY

God the Father provided for everyone's salvation through the sacrifice of His Son.
Jesus (God the Son), came to seek and to save that which was lost, through His sacrificial death and physical resurrection.
The Holy Spirit of God convicts sinners of their sins, calls sinners to repentance, regenerates those who trust in Christ, indwells and leads and instructs, empowers and enables believers.

Then, when someone drifts, turns from or rebels against God, God calls them, invites them, convicts them, warns them, strives with them, continues to call and warn and invite and call and warn and invite... then suddenly God calls no more, warns no more, invites no more.

God's reaching out is never ending, until suddenly, then ruin, destruction, and that without remedy.

I understand the historic context of Genesis 6:3, but it is also a principle in God's salvific work: there comes a time when the Spirit of God no longer strives with rebellious people.

Regardless of His calling, warning and inviting, when He is finished striving, it is sudden, and without remedy.

Genesis 6:3
3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
