Is it God who is terror or is it men who have TERROR OF GOD? Placing the emphasis correctly shifts how we see.
It was by placing the emphasis incorrectly that Satan attempts to cast God in a poor light. Jesus' reality corrected that incorrect emphasis.
The question is, are we willing to see the difference or do we prefer to believe Satans misrepresentations? (lies)
That is a warning from paul . About the righteous judgement of GOD . Even the wrath of GOD is RIGHTEOUS .
ALL His judgments are righteous good and holy . Now as for this reminder
paul was simply putting emphasis on why WE PREACH THE GOSPEL . Cause all who are in CHRIST will not go under the wrath of GOD .
KNOWING the TERROR , the WRATH OF GOD , we persaude men , TO COME TO CHRIST .
That could have been said just like that . SEE paul didnt try and change GOD into this love god
that somehow wont adminstir wrath to the ungodly . ITS COMING . THE THING is , IF ONE HAS JESUS
they wont be going under His wrath .
WE MUST behold both the goodness and severity of GOD . If not we create an incorrect image of GOD .
SO lets sum it up shall we .
The wrath of judgment of GOD is real and its coming for all who denied Christ . For buddists , mulisms
atheists , those who even lipped his name yet lived in sin . BUT THERE IS A WAY OUT OF IT
its called BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST . The lake of fire is real as well .
BUT again the way out of it , IS FOUND ONLY , and i do mean only , IN JESUS CHRIST .
Every act of GOD is RIGHTEOUS . This includes HIS WRATH . BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD
for HIS MERCY IN JESUS CHRIST that all who do BELEIVE shall rejoice forever with the KING and not go under wrath .
