Look back at the two sinful cities recorded in the Bible: Sodom and Nineveh. At that time, the people in these two cities had no place at all for God in their hearts. Their wickedness and corruption had already reached a degree detestable to both man and God. Thereby, they all were the objects that God decided to destroy. However, their different attitudes toward God’s warning brought them different fates and endings. The people of Sodom openly competed with God and did not have the slightest heart to repent to God. Their stubborn attitude of opposing God provoked God’s disposition, leading to their eternal destruction by God. On the contrary, after hearing the news from Jonah that God was going to destroy them in forty days, all of the people of Nineveh, from the king to the commoners, immediately wore sackcloth and ashes, repented and confessed their sins before God, and stopped doing evil things that oppose God. Their attitude of fearing God gained God’s mercy and forgiveness, so all the people of Nineveh survived because of their confession and repentance to God. From the different endings of Sodom and Nineveh, we can see that when we face God’s warning and work, whether we fear God and whether we have true repentance determine whether we can obtain God’s mercy and salvation.
