In the context of the Bible, this often relates to the consequences of sin, disobedience, or failure to adhere to God's commandments. The concept of incurring consequences is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, illustrating the principle of sowing and reaping.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Israelites frequently incurred God's wrath due to their disobedience and idolatry. For instance, in the Book of Numbers, the Israelites incurred God's anger when they complained against Him and Moses in the wilderness. As a result, God sent fiery serpents among them (<a href="/numbers/21-4.htm">Numbers 21:4-6</a>). This incident underscores the direct correlation between disobedience and divine retribution.<br><br>The Law given to Moses also outlines various consequences that would be incurred by the Israelites if they failed to follow God's statutes. <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a> details blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, emphasizing the serious repercussions of turning away from God's commands. The Israelites were warned that if they did not obey, they would incur a series of curses, including defeat by enemies, disease, and exile (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of incurring consequences is often linked to the spiritual realm and eternal judgment. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, speaks of the wrath that individuals incur due to their unrighteousness and suppression of the truth. <a href="/romans/1-18.htm">Romans 1:18</a> states, "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness."<br><br>Furthermore, the New Testament emphasizes the idea of incurring judgment through one's actions. In <a href="/1_corinthians/11-27.htm">1 Corinthians 11:27-29</a> , Paul warns believers about partaking in the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner, stating that those who do so "will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord" and "eat and drink judgment on themselves."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Theologically, the concept of incurring consequences serves as a reminder of God's holiness and justice. It highlights the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance and obedience. The Bible consistently teaches that while God's grace and mercy are abundant, they do not negate the reality of consequences for sin. This principle is evident in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, which foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the consequences of sin on behalf of humanity.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers, understanding the concept of incurring consequences encourages a life of holiness and reverence for God. It serves as a caution against complacency and a reminder of the importance of aligning one's life with biblical principles. The call to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ is central to avoiding the eternal consequences of sin, as He offers redemption and reconciliation with God.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of incurring consequences is a sobering reminder of the reality of sin and the justice of God. It calls individuals to live in obedience to God's Word, recognizing the serious implications of their actions both in this life and in eternity.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Incur.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2770.htm"><span class="l">2770. kerdaino -- to gain</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Js 4:13).
