How does God deal with those who are against Him?

Answered in 1 source

God deals with those against Him through judgment or mercy, as seen in biblical accounts.

The two primary ways God engages with those who oppose Him can be illustrated through biblical narratives. On one hand, we see God’s judgment, as in the account of Pharaoh, whose stubbornness led to severe consequences (Exodus 12:29-30). Sodom and Gomorrah faced divine retribution for their rebellion (Genesis 19). On the other hand, there is the path of mercy illustrated through the story of Jonah, who, despite initially rejecting God’s call, was restored and chose to obey after experiencing God’s mercy. This duality serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and may lead one to a heart of repentance, making it clear that while God is just, He is also merciful to those who turn to Him.
