2 Samuel 1, Psalms 107:1-22, Romans 1:1-24
What God said to me – “Behold then the kindness and severity of God.” You don’t hear this much in the world today. People only want to hear and think about My love and kindness. They don’t want to hear about My severity – My intolerance of sin – My judgment and rejection of people because they refuse to acknowledge Me as Almighty God. Churches don’t want to emphasize My wrath and judgment for fear of turning people off or not feeling accepted. As a result people are not confronted with the abomination their sin is to Me – they come for My love and acceptance without ever repenting and turning from their sin. Without repentance there can be no salvation. Without salvation there can be no relationship with Me. Don’t deceive people – love them enough to tell them the truth about their sin and need for repentance and then let Me draw them and save them – that is how I demonstrate My love toward them.
