Câu hỏi thường gặp

What does it mean for God to judge a house?

When God judges a house, He holds the family responsible for their actions, including their sins, and may bring consequences on the entire family.

How can we prevent such judgment in our families?

By actively teaching and enforcing God's commands, holding each other accountable, and seeking forgiveness when we fail.

What role does Eli's knowledge play in this judgment?

Eli knew his sons were sinning but didn't take action, which made him complicit in their wrongdoing and subject to God's judgment.

Is there forgiveness even after such judgment?

Yes, God is merciful and can forgive, but the consequences of not stopping sin can still have lasting impacts.
