The consequences of falling from Divine grace

One thing I have come to understand through this article is that God or Christ can allow anything to happen to His followers as a way of showing His dissatisfaction over our attitude. The Arab invasion and raid of Christianity and attack on Christians, according to Sophronius was as a result of Christians’ failure to live up to God’s injunction, that is their failure to live up to their baptismal promises , their inability to appreciate the sacrifice of Christ at the cross through their sinful lives. Hence, as a punishment God allowed the Saracens to invade and attack them to the point of losing their temple and their home just like Adam and Eve lose their paradise-garden of Eden. However, the Christians refer them because of their vengeful character as Barbarians,God-hating, God-fighters who insult the cross, Jesus and the name of God, whose leader is the devil (cfr, Christmas sermon of Sophronius)
