MERCY AND ANGER
Psalm 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry
with the wicked every day.
Reading Janie
B. Cheaney’s column, Love and Wrath,
God’s forgiveness and His judgment are two sides of the same coin, in June 30,
2012 issue of WORLD magazine, one of the paragraphs jumped out at me. How does
it strike you? EBB4
“Can’t God just
issue blanket forgiveness for all except the most heinous offender? On what
basis? Crimes have to be paid for. Those who will not accept Christ’s payment
will have to pay for themselves. Well, can’t He just destroy the rebels? How?
The breath He breathed into Adam was never taken back. He’s holding them
together. He holds them together even through eternity, where His wrath awaits
those who reject Him.”
