Matthew 25:46 NKJV - "And these will go away
into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Micah 7:18 NKJV -
"Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the
transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger
forever, Because He delights in mercy."
Answer:
Here, what is meaning in remnant of His heritage in
Micah 7:18? The Lord God is pardoning the iniquity and transgressions of
remaining persons who are not worthy of taking death penalty. Death penalty is
given to those who committed greater sins as described in 1 John 5:16-17. The
iniquities and transgressions committed by these remaining persons were bare
small crimes. So, the Lord God is
pardoning the remaining persons.
The one, who did terrible sins, i.e. adultery,
seduction, murder, looting, etc., change his mind from this kind of sins with
repented heart and promise with firm decision by lamenting that he will not do
any more sins and kneels down before the Lord to pardon him will be forgiven by
Lord.
If he as a wicked, instead of changing his mind and
did ghastly deeds in terrible state without repentance for his sins, how can he
get everlasting life, instead of everlasting punishment?
