Today is Monday, November 18, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.
Some have misguidedly referred to the God of the Old Testament as a moral monster for the demonstrations of wrath in passages such as 2 Chronicles 36. But this unbiblical belief fails to understand that God’s anger is how goodness responds to evil. God’s attributes are never to be pitted against one another; rather, they are to be understood as working in concert.
The biblical authors saw God’s goodness and holiness as tied to His willingness to exercise judgment. If God was unwilling to exercise justice, how could He be holy? And if He isn’t holy, how can he be God? God is always just in His execution of judgment against sinners.
Think about this: Why is it a good thing that God exercises judgment against sin? What is the connection between God’s holiness and wrath?
