Love And Wrath
1 John 4:8 (NIV) - Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
We often see that God being angry all the time in old testament. Perhaps this has cause you to think that God is wrath?
Friend, God has wrath, but the Bible never defines God as wrath. Instead, according to the Bible’s definition, God is love (1 John 4:8).
We need to have a correct perspective of who God is.
Consider this bible verse then
Ezekiel 33:11 (NIV) - Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’
2 Key points.
1) God Himself take no pleasure
2) of the wicked.
Wicked people..... think for a moment here. God takes no pleasure in their death even. For us, we might because of the wicked evil things they've inflicted against us.
If you've been far away, come back home to God. You can find hope in his love.
God Bless.
