Declaration of (in) Dependence Part 2
You can't ignore all the passages in the Bible that emphasize God's wrath and judgment. In fact, if you add them up, they actually total more than the passages about God's love. There are 600 alone in the OT. Here is a sampling from the NT: - John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. - Romans 5:9: Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. - Romans 12:19: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." - Ephesians 5:6: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. - And those don't even get close to detailing for you the number of passages that mention God's wrath against sin. Obviously, ignoring the Biblical teaching on wrath is not an option, so this week at Sovereign King, let's ask this big picture question: Big Picture Question: If the Gospel is about forgiveness, what happens to God's wrath and how should we live in light of that truth?

Jacob meets his maker
199 years ago, Scottish novelist, Sir Walter Scott, wrote these famous words: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!" I'm sure nearly everyone of us can identify with the truth of those words. Today we walk with Jacob at the very beginning of his encounter with God. He is still very much embroiled in the tangled web of lies and deceit.
