Why does the Bible warn about those who are outside of God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns about those outside of God's mercy to emphasize the consequences of rebellion against Him and the lack of true faith.

Revelation 22:15 states, 'For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.' This warning serves as a stark reminder that those who reject God and cling to their sin remain outside the grace and mercy He offers. They are described as morally and spiritually impure, illustrating the seriousness of living in rebellion against God's commandments. The classification includes not just overtly rebellious individuals but also those who may appear religious yet deny the power of true faith. It highlights the necessity of a true relationship with Christ, emphasizing that without Him, there is only judgment awaiting those who persist in their sin. This serves as both a warning and an encouragement for believers to hold fast to their faith in Christ as the only way to salvation.
