Book of Wisdoms Ep 26: Your Lord is amazed at people who are driven to Paradise with chains!

Saturday April 30, 2022

A disobedience that bequeaths humiliation and extreme need is better than an obedience that bequeaths self-infatuation and pride. He knew of the irresolution of servants in dealing with Him, so He made obedience to Him obligatory for them. Thus, He drove them to obedience with the chains of obligation; and 'Your Lord is amazed at people who are driven to Paradise with chains!'
