Often when people come to the bible, there can be a misconception where people look at the God in the Old Testament and a mean God of wrath, while the New Testament God is a nicer and loving God. In our chapter today we consider passages in the Old Testament where God brings judgement and we will seek to make sense of it in light of his holiness. We will see, as Sproul says, that "We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out." For those in Christ, God showers his grace on them, while still being justice and bringing his Judgement for sin, on our substitute, Jesus Christ. Please read Chapter 6 for our next meeting on 11/27. This is one of the longer chapters, so we will likely do this in two parts. See you tomorrow at Fairmont at 6:30am.
