What does the Bible say about reprobacy?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that God justly gives hardened sinners over to the consequences of their persistent rebellion, while their condemnation remains wholly deserved and God’s purposes remain righteous. Genesis 6:5-7 and Genesis 19:13 portray the seriousness of widespread human wickedness and divine judgment. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 warns that covenant disobedience brings fearful curses, and Deuteronomy 31:17-18 describes God hiding his face because of Israel’s evil. Psalms 81:11-12 and Proverbs 1:24-28 show God giving those who refuse his voice over to their own stubborn desires. Isaiah 6:9-10 soberly depicts judicial hardening, yet Scripture calls us to seek the Lord humbly, trusting his mercy in Christ.
