One Dominant Question: Who Is Your God?

In this section of Scripture, we meet the real God! This God is:

  • Almighty – He rules over creation alone.
  • Sovereign – His justice and his mercy are his choice.
  • Jealous – He will not share his glory with another.
  • Just – He will punish people according to their sins.
  • Merciful – He will save all who cry out to him in humility and genuine repentance.

Mercy and justice are always mingled.

And the most important glorious, act of mercy and justice happened when God killed his Son. He passed over us and punished Jesus in our place.

Jesus Christ, the righteous one was punished in place of us.

  • He was crucified instead of us.
  • He took God’s wrath on behalf of us.

Everyone will be judged.

Either, Jesus took your judgment, or something worse than the plagues are coming your way, as you face the judgment.

For believers, we rejoice, because through Christ there is no condemnation. Jesus took our curse:

He experienced darkness. The darkness that happened at the cross. The darkness of the tomb. And by his death and resurrection, we who deserve death, have nothing but mercy forever.

Know Christ as the only Savior, or Fear Him as Judge. Do not harden your heart against him.
