A. When a believer falls, God will go After them
B. A believer’s habitat should not be in sin, any more than a sheep’s habitat is the mud.
C. If an abiding believer falls into sin, they are not comfortable in it
D. If they grow comfortable there, God will chasten them.
E. But God has provide all we need to stand firm and steadfast
1. The blood of Christ
2. The intercession of Christ
3. The power of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead
4. Great and precious promised by which we partake of the Divine Nature
5. His Word to strengthen
6. God is available to us in prayer 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. No holds or delays in availability

Abundant mercy and long suffering.
Grace overflows and we settle for crumbs

We will all stand before the Bema. But not for sins, for believers sins are forgiven. But we will give an account toGod and we will gain and lose rewards based on faithfulness.
And EVERY WORD we say, including here, we will give an account for. Not that we will be standing there for thousands of years to be judged. The eyes that burn like fire 🔥 will lay our souls bare in an instant perhaps
But if we are clothed in Christ we are safe

I agree with BillG - no one is safe from judgment, even believers because judgment begins at the house of God. However, believers are safe from God's wrath.
Hallelujah! Thank You, Yeshua/Jesus!!
