Of Love and of Wrath-DD 7/14/2010

"Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire." Heb 12:28-29

Our God is an awesome God. In him are found wonders that are too fantastic to imagine with our limited minds. His ways are farther above ours than the heavens are above the earth. Nevertheless, he condescends to know every hair on our heads having known us from the womb. He provides for everyone of our needs. God is the very definition of love and demonstrated this by sacrificing His only begotten son, even while we were yet in our sins.

Those of us who call upon the name of Christ, those of us who have been grafted on to the vine, adopted into God's family and reborn into the kingdom of heaven, should rejoice every day. Our lives should consist of doing His will and sharing His love that others might come to know Him.

Beloved there is one more thing that we must remember. Our God is also a God of justice and of wrath. And though He gives every one of us the ability to choose, there is a consequence for remaining among the defiant, reprobate, unbelieving and rebellious. "The Lord said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. "But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin." Then the Lord smote the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made." Ex 32:33-35

In Revival,

Lee
