Proverbs 29:1 KJV — He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
It’s Satan. It’s the deceitfulness of sin. It’s refusing to accept Jesus’ full payment on the Cross. It’s the ‘social drinking’. It’s the driving onto a broken bridge despite all the warning signs and barriers you’ve driven through.
It’s being told the truth and continually refusing to yield to it.
That’s what causes the destruction.
God loves you. God is for you.
And God isn’t the destroyer.
