We are continuing our book study of the Holiness of God. We will be in chapter 7 this week as we consider War and Peace with God. By nature we are sinners who are at war with God. Sproul writes, "The struggle we have with a holy God is rooted in the conflict between God’s righteousness and our unrighteousness. He is just and we are unjust. This tension creates fear, hostility, and anger within us toward God. The unjust person does not desire the company of a just judge. We become fugitives fleeing from the presence of One whose glory can blind us and whose justice can condemn us. We are at war with Him unless or until we are justified. Only the justified person can be comfortable in the presence of a holy God." Despite being rebels with the God of the universe, God, in his love, sends his Son Jesus, to bring peace to those who were once his enemies. We will ponder this truth this Wednesday at 6:30am at Fairmount Restaurant. See you then!
