• In the New Testament we read, “There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it” (1 John 5:16). If chastisement is despised, and the Spirit of grace insulted, there comes a time when it is too late for supplication or entreaty. As a last act of God’s holy government, the erring one is cut off, and the case left for the Judgment Seat of Christ. We have examples of this in Ananias and Sapphira, both of them cut off in their transgression. So with some in the Corinthian assembly that dishonored the Lord at His table in the memorial Supper. The Holy Spirit says, “For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.” And so it was with Israel in the case before us. (“Chapter 7” by H.A. Ironside)
