We see the wrath of God displayed in the Old Testament against ungodly, unrepentant men. Examples:
Noah and the Flood and all the destruction of the wicked that did not believe God's word and come into the ark. Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire before the Lord and were immediately destroyed by fire themselves. Miriam when she was struck with leprosy as she spoke against Moses wife Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by fire and brimstone The destruction of the heathen nations that worshiped idols The destruction of the temple when the Israelites refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah.
Those that refuse to repent and acknowledge Jesus as the sin bearer are under the wrath of God.
John 3: 36 "3: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."
Here is the mercy of God presented to sinful man repentant man:
John 3: 14-21
14: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up." "15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." 16: "For God s loved the world, that he gave his only begotten sSon, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." 17: "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved." 18: "He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." 19: "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." 20: "For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." 21: "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, tht they are wrought in God.
One can see that God the Father has done all he can to save sinful man, but those that refuse His offer of mercy and grace given to them freely in Jesus are under His wrath.
God has a wrath."cursed is everyone who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them" and as fallen in Adam,and continuing in the state into which we fell, we remain under the wrath and curse of God.Ephesians5v5For this ye know ,that no whoremonger,nor unclean person,nor covetous man who is an idolator,hath any inheritance inthe kingdom of Christ and of God v6Let no man deceive you with vain words;for because of these things cometh the wrath of God on the children of disobedience. He chastens His own ,but in love.Psalm94v12Mans thoughts to be but vanity,the Lord doth well discern.Blessed is the man thou chasten'st Lord and makst thy laws to learn.That thou would'st give him rest from days of sad adversity,until the pit be digged for those that work iniquity.but His wrath is on the unrepentant,in this life mixed with mercy.In the life which is to come without mixture.revelation 14v10the wrath of God poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation.Therefore flee from the wrath which is to come on all worshippers of false gods and idolators,for how shall they escape if they neglect so great salvation.Seek the Lord while He is to be found ,call upon Him while He is near.......
IIn Peter 3: [4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. [5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: [6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: [7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. [8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
God is merciful but He is also just. For those that do not repent of their sins, and believe in Jesus as their substitute and Savior before the Father justice will be served to them. God's wrath will be poured out on the earth, and all that refuse to acknowledge Jesus. Sin will be no more, and a new heavens and a new earth will be created for those that have accepted Jesus as their Savior, and have been forgiven and accounted righteous, by the imputed righteousness of God which is the righteousness of faith.
there is only one way to escape the wrath of God, and that is by faith in Jesus Christ, who is the Father's gift to the repentant sinner.
One of the evidences of decay and departure in the professing Church is the large-scale rejection of the teaching of the Scriptures on the wrath of God. Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones in his recently-issued Exposition of Romans draws attention to this and shows that it is not only among Modernists and Ritualists that this attitude prevails; it is evident too among some who are evangelicals by repute.
Dr C. H. Dodd, for some 14 years professor of Divinity at Cambridge and chairman of the panel of translators of the New English Bible [New Testament section], deals in his Commentary on Romans with the phrase ‘the wrath of God’ in Romans 1.18. He speaks of it as ‘an archaic phrase’ which ‘suits a thoroughly archaic idea’. In other words, he looks on the idea of God’s wrath as out-of-date, antiquated. Early in 1931 there was a dialogue in the pulpit of Elmwood Presbyterian Church, Belfast, two prominent ministers Drs Frazer-Hurst and Hyndman taking part. The former quoted from a Catechism he was taught in his boyhood. The question was: ‘What are you by nature?’ and the answer: ‘I am an enemy of God, a child of Satan and an heir of hell’. Dr Frazer-Hurst described such teaching as monstrous and Dr Hyndman supported him by saying:
‘These ideas belong to the mentality and outlook of bygone ages.’ It would seem as if these men believed that we come into the world as little cherubs sprouting wings.
To adopt such views one would have to repudiate a large part of Scripture from Genesis through to Revelation. In Genesis 3 we find Adam and Eve thrust out of the garden for their sin and a flaming sword set to keep them from the tree of life. Not only were they affected, but the sentence of condemnation fell upon the race [Romans 5.12, 18, 19]. In Genesis 6 we find God saying: ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth’ — and the deluge ensued. Then in Genesis 19 we have the destruction of the cities of the plain by fire and brimstone from heaven.
I might go on citing countless examples of the manifestation of divine wrath right through the Bible. Dr Leon Morris says of the Old Testament in his The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross: ‘There are more than 20 words used to express the wrath conception as it applies to Jehovah’ and ‘these are used so frequently that there are over 580 occurrences to be taken into consideration’ [p 131]. He adds that this conception ‘cannot be eradicated from the Old Testament without irreparable loss’ [p 156]. So the Old Testament is full of the concept of the wrath of God.
In his Commentary on Romans Dr Dodd says that the wrath of God ‘does not appear in the teaching of Jesus’. One is reminded of John Newton’s reply to Dr Taylor of Norwich when the latter said: ‘I have collated every word in the Hebrew Scriptures 17 times, and it is very strange if the doctrine of the atonement you hold should not have been found by me.’ Newton’s reply was: ‘I am not surprised at this; I once went to light my candle with the extinguisher on it.’ He meant that prejudices from education, learning, etc., often form an extinguisher which must be removed and which only God can remove.
Dr Dodd speaks of the thought of anger as an attitude of God to men as disappearing and adds: ‘His love and mercy become all-embracing’. This really smacks of universalism. One suspects that universalistic presuppositions are really in many cases responsible for the rejection of the concept of the wrath of God.
Jesus spoke of the rich man in the torments of hell and He warned again and again of ‘the weeping and the gnashing of teeth’ and of hell fire and the unquenchable fire and the undying worm and the outer darkness. Describing how He would act as King at His coming one day to sit on the throne of His glory He pictures Himself as saying: ‘Depart from me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels.’ Surely the extinguisher is functioning when Dr Dodd claims that the idea of the wrath of God is absent from the teaching of Jesus.
Nor is the wrath of God absent from the teaching of the apostle Paul. He pictured that wrath as like a dark cloud overhanging a guilty world and he proclaimed Jesus as the only deliverer from this coming wrath [I Thess. 1.10]. He also describes this wrath as evident in the heathen world of his day — evident in God’s giving them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness and vile passions and a reprobate mind [Romans 1.24, 26, 28]. And in Romans chapter 2 he warns of ‘wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God’. These are but a few of the citations which might be given from Paul’s teaching.
We have the same testimony from John, the apostle of love. What a tremendous picture he gives of Christ coming as King of kings and Lord of lords ‘treading the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God the Almighty’ [Rev. 19.151! How can anyone that has read Jonathan Edwards’ comment on this verse ever forget it? ‘The words’, he says, ‘are exceeding terrible. If it had only been said ‘the wrath of God’, the words would have implied that which is infinitely dreadful: but it is ‘the fierceness and wrath of God’. The fury of God! the fierceness of Jehovah! O how dreadful must that be! Who can utter or conceive what such expressions carry in them? But it is also ‘the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God’ — as though there would be a very great manifestation of His almighty power in what the fierceness of His wrath would inflict, as though omnipotence should as it were be enraged and exerted as men are wont to exert their strength in the fierceness of their wrath.’
Many more Scriptures could be appealed to, but sufficient evidence has been produced to show that the witness to the idea of the wrath of God is pervasive in the Scriptures.
When the doctrine of the wrath of God is denied, other great truths are affected by this denial. First among these is the historic doctrine of the inspiration of the Scriptures.
I. THE INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES
Anyone who denies the wrath of God strikes a blow at divine revelation — for, as we have seen, God’s wrath is plainly revealed in His Word. His holy indignation against sin is one of the great ‘burdens’ of Scripture, one of the Bible’s great oracles; and he who denies this holy indignation is flouting the verdict of the Judge of all the earth, a verdict repeated times without number in His Word. Professor T. J. Crawford was right when he said: ‘A great part of the Bible would need to be written over again before we can expunge from it the broad and palpable evidence of God’s holy displeasure against sinful men and of His righteous purpose to inflict judgment for their iniquities.’ The effect then of the denial of the divine wrath then would be devastating in its effect upon the doctrine of the inspiration of the Scriptures.
II. THE DOCTRINE OF GOD
If we preach the wrath of God, we are sometimes accused of representing God as a Being of fitful passion and vindictive fury. In other words, we are accused of blackening the character of God. But we plead ‘Not guilty’. The God of the Bible is not subject to sudden and irrational fits of anger. His wrath is His settled indignation against sin. Dr Leon Morris rightly speaks of it as ‘a burning zeal for the right coupled with a perfect hatred for everything that is evil’.
When men reject the idea of the wrath of God, it is evident that they really do not believe in the perfect holiness of God, for that holiness involves a settled and burning indignation against sin. Moses could say of the adversaries of Israel: ‘their rock is not as our Rock’ and we can say the same of men who reject the divine wrath. Their god is a flabby sort of being, not the God who is holy in all His ways and righteous in all His works.
III. THE DOCTRINE OF SIN
There is a close connection between the denial of God’s wrath and a light view of sin, as Dr J. G. Machen said: ‘The modern rejection of God’s wrath proceeds from a light view of sin which is totally at variance with the teaching of the whole New Testament and of Jesus Himself’. It is the sight of the infinite holiness of God which leads a man to a true sense of his sin and depravity. When Isaiah viewed God as sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and worshipped as the perfectly Holy One by the seraphim, then he cried ‘Woe is me, for I am undone’. When men see God’s righteousness and His wrath, it is then that they become earnest seekers after grace.
Once when Whitefleld was preaching at Norwich, a thoughtless youth was led by a gipsy’s forecast of his future to go and hear the great preacher. The sermon was based on John the Baptist’s appeal to the Sadducees to flee from the wrath to come. As he preached Whitefleld burst into a flood of tears and then cried with all his might: ‘O my hearers, the wrath is to come, the wrath is to come’. The words sank into the young man’s heart; they followed him for days and weeks and he could think of little else but ‘the wrath to come’. He later became, as Andrew Fuller tells us, ‘a considerable preacher’. Such conviction of sin followed by genuine conversion is not likely to occur where the note of divine wrath is muted; sin is no longer regarded as ‘the abominable thing which God hates’.
IV. THE DOCTRINE OF THE ATONEMENT
In his commentary on Romans chapter 1, Dr Dodd denies divine wrath. It is small wonder that he proceeds in his commentary on chapter 3, verse 25-26, to repudiate the idea of ‘the propitiation of the wrath of God’ and of ‘the satisfaction demanded by His justice and afforded by Christ’s vicarious endurance of the penalty of sin.’ Small wonder too that the word ‘propitiation’ was removed from the New English Bible as well as from the Revised Standard Version. One of the RSV translators, Dr C. T. Craig of Oberlin School of Theology, commenting on the omission of the word ‘propitiation’, said: ‘Any attempt to show that there was something in the essential nature of God that demanded satisfaction for sin ends only in blackening the character of God.’ So the doctrine of the atonement must go in the interests of the Modernist view of a flabby deity!
Dr Dodd admits that in classical Greek and in the Koiné [or Hellenistic Greek] the word ‘propitiate’ has the idea of placating or appeasing wrath. But he seeks to argue from the Septuagint [the Greek translation of the New Testament made a few centuries before Christ] that a change had taken place in the meaning of the word. Dr Roger Nicole of Gordon Divinity School has produced 21 arguments against Dr Dodd’s line of reasoning [see the Westminster Theological Journal, Vol. XVII, No. 2]. Dr Nicole’s article is simply devastating in its force; he seems to have shot Dr Dodd down entirely.
Dr Leon Morris in his The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross says that Dr Dodd ‘totally ignores the fact that in many passages there is explicit mention of the putting away of God’s anger, and accordingly his conclusions cannot be accepted without serious modification.’ Indeed, Dr Morris produces arguments to show that ‘it is manifestly impossible to maintain that the verb [propitiate’] has been emptied of its force.’
One must be supremely thankful for the labours of these two fine scholars of a younger generation for their labours in putting up such a capable defence of, and devastating argument for, the historic Christian doctrine of the atonement as a propitiation of divine wrath and a satisfaction to divine justice.
V. THE DOCTRINE OF THE LOVE OF GOD
Those who reject the wrath of God often plead that their rejection is in the interests of the love of God; but actually their rejection of divine wrath inificts a grievous wound on the doctrine which they profess ardently to espouse. This is so because Christ’s propitiatory sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and propitiate God’s wrath is the greatest exhibition of divine love. We read in Scripture: ‘Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins’ [1 John 4.10].
Dr James Denney said: ‘If the propitiatory death of Jesus is eliminated from the love of God, it might be unfair to say that the love of God is robbed of all meaning, but it is certainly robbed of its apostolic meaning’ [Denney’s Death of Christ, p 152]. And this is the meaning that supremely matters.
VI. THE DOCTRINE OF THE JUDGMENT
If there is no wrath of God, then the tremendous terrors of the judgment are eliminated. Then that ancient hymn loses its significance which says:
That day of wrath, that dreadful day When heaven and earth shall pass away! What power shall be the sinner’s stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day?
Take away the concept of the wrath of God and we strip the great day of assize of much of its tremendous awe.
VII. THE DOCTRINE OF HELL
In 1930 there was a book issued with the title What is Hell? There were twelve contributors. Among them were two novelists, a Spiritist, a Theosophist, a pagan, a Roman Catholic, a Congregationalist who became a Roman Catholic two years later, an Anglican bishop and an Anglican dean. The dean, Dr W. R. Inge, though not thoroughly orthodox, could be quite caustic and penetrating in his comments on the Modernists and he had many true words to say about hell. Indeed, he was the one in this volume who came closest to the Scripture doctrine. He said that ‘heaven and hell stand and fall, together’ and pointed out that our Lord spoke in perfectly plain language about its duration. He added: ‘Modernist Protestantism, though it may be reluctant to admit it, believes in Purgatory, but not in hell.’ When Dr Inge ceased to be dean of St. Paul’s in 1934, his successor was Dr W. R. Matthews and it is interesting to note that he says in his book The Hope of Immortality that to him purgatory ‘has great attractions’; he also says that he believes it ‘right to pray for the dead’ and it would seem that universalism also has ‘attractions’ for him. So it again appears, as we have already noted, that many of the objectors to the concept of God’s wrath are really universalistic in their outlook. A distinguished theologian of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., who is a member of his Church’s Permanent Theological Committee stated in a church paper: ‘God does not have two different purposes for men — that is, punishment for some and reward for others — but only one’. This is just brazen universalism.
In conclusion, I would point out that when men deny the wrath of God, they are cutting one of the vital nerves of evangelism. It was the thought of the wrath of God, as well as His love, that lent such earnestness to the pleadings of the preachers of the gospel. The thought of the overhanging cloud of God’s wrath lent earnestness to the preaching of Paul. Knowing the fear of the Lord, he persuaded men. It was the same with Whitefield and Brownlow North and R. M. M’Cheyne and Henry Martyn. Of North his biographer wrote: ‘The immortality of the human soul and its endless existence in a state of holiness and blessedness, or of corruption and misery, were subjects constantly on his lips.’ Listen to M’Cheyne also as he says: ‘As I walked in the fields, the thought came over me with almost overwhelming power, that every one of my flock must soon be in heaven or hell. 0 how I wished I had a tongue like thunder, that I might make all hear; or that I had a frame like iron, that I might visit every one and say, ‘Escape for thy life’. Ah, sinners! you little know how I fear that you will lay the blame of your damnation at my door.’ And it was he who said that the preacher should never speak of everlasting punishment without tears.
What gratitude should surge in our hearts because God has not appointed us unto wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus! R. M. M’Cheyne stressed this too when he wrote:
Chosen not for good in me, Wakened up from wrath to flee, Hidden in the Saviour’s side, By the Spirit sanctified, Teach me, Lord, on earth to show, By my love how much I owe.
By nature we were once ‘children of wrath’ — exposed to the dread wrath of God [Eph 2.3]. But we have been saved by grace through faith, that we might do the good works which God has before ordained for us [Eph 2.8, 10]. We are under a tremendous obligation. This was how Paul saw himself. He said: ‘I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians . . . So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also . . . . for I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation . . . . : for therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith . . . . for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men’ [Rom 1.14-18]. Note the four ‘for’s’, especially the last one — ‘for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven’. The divine wrath was revealed in God’s judgments on the heathen world of that day and it overhung that world like a dark cloud. That same wrath is evident in the world of our day and overhangs it like a dark cloud. We too should have the tremendous sense of obligation which Paul had. We too are debtors — debtors to men of every race and condition. May the spirit of concern fill our hearts as it filled the heart of the apostle — that we may give an account of our stewardship one day with joy and not with grief. Amen.
Thank you Mark for this great post of the wrath of God. It is only by Jesus that we are hidden in the day of the Lord's anger that is coming on the earth. Truly God will have vengeance on His enemies, those that reject His Son.
Jesus is now and will be our only refuge in that great day.
I listened to a sermon this morning on Sermonaudio.com concerning the wrath of God. The pastor is from the Free Presbyterian Church in South Carolina. I can't think of his name right now, but I am giving credit to him for these thoughts. I will check on the name and post it.
He stated that God does have a wrath. He is not only a loving God but a just God. He mentions in the scriptures where it states that "God spared not" in several places. He "spared not" the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell. l He "spared not" the city of Sodom, but"destroyed it with fire and brimstone. He "spared not" the wicked people in the days of Noah, but they all died in the flood. And it mentions that he "spared not" his only son but gave Him up for us all.
And in Isaiah 53, it states that Jesus was "smitten of God" and afflicted. "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him," "He hath put him to grief. He made his soul an offering for sin". Whose sin? Our sins, as He was sinless! "He bare the sins of many, and made interecession for the transgressors"
Who put Him to grief? Who smote Him? Who afflicted him? Who bruised Him? .Who placed our sins upon Him? It was the Father!! It reminds me of the story of Abraham, when he started to sacrifice his son. God stopped Him, and there was a ram caught in a thicket which God provided, and was sacrificed instead. It was God the Father that sacrificed His only Son. He poured out His wrath upon him, for the punishment of our sins and the healing of all our sicknesses, as we are healed by His stripes. God poured out His wrath upon His only Son for our sakes!!
"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities".
So anyone that thinks God is not going to punish those that refuse the sacrifice of His Son, only need to look to Calvary, and see sin punished by God Himself upon His Son.
The speaker spoke of the eveing and morning sacrifice in the old sanctuary service, which represented Jesus. The fire never when out, but was kept burning continually. The fire represented the wrath of God upon His son, the lamb of God. On Calvary that fire burned, his wrath, until it went out. All was darkness when Jesus died. His complete wrath was poured out upon His Son, as our substitute.
For those that accept Jesus as their substitute, God's anger is over, He has turned away from His wrath and we are accepted in Jesus, covered under the shadow of His wings from the wrath of God, protected and safe on that great judgment day, when God's wrath will be poured out upon those that refuse His Son.
Not only does the Father forgive us in Jesus, but He covers us with His righteousness, that we may stand before Him, in the righteousness of the life of Jesus that is imputed unto us by faith alone, through Christ alone, so That God the Father receives all the glory alone for our salvation. Jesus is our complete salvation. He has made satisfaction for our sins alone, and we are accounted righteous by faith alone in the imputed righteousness which God Himself has provided for us, to cover us. ".....when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty of high: Hebrews 1: 3.
It is all done at the judgment bar of God in heaven, because God's word says it is so. Once we have been justified, "declared righteous by the imputed righteousness of Jesus" it will never be reversed. "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance". Romans 11:29 God does not lie, God does not make mistakes. God knows the ones that are His, and they follow Him. God will keep them safe, as a shepherd keeps his and He will not lose any. God's declaration of justification upon the sinner is final and complete. He is accepted into the family of God forever!! If one does not believe this, they are calling God a liar, because His word says it is true.
Woe, be to those that turn away. We receive the Holy Spirit through faith in His word, not through the keeping of the law, which noone is able to do, to be accepted and justified before God, as we are all sinners, and continually fall short of the glory of God. Our assurance of salvation is in Jesus alone in God's word alone, throught God's wonderful mercy and grace alone in the free gift of Jesus alone through faith alone in God.
Look to Calvary and you will see the love and justice of God for sinful man. "He became sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him". This was the eternal plan and purpose of God in the gift of His Son. He did it all for His purpose and His pleasure that He might bring many children of Adam and Eve back to Him, through faith in His Son.
What can we do? Only behold what manner of God with which God has loved us in the gift of His only Son. Follow His voice through the preaching of the gospel, worship and praise God, and believe in Him, knowing that the end of this world is at hand, and sin shall be completely destroyed forever. Only those that have Jesus, will be saved from the wrath of God. It was a one time sacrifice, a never to be repeated event. "Their sins and iniquities I will remember no more". "nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now ONCE, in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
"He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:36
"Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?" II Peter 11,12
We are called upon to believe the word of God, and to fear God, as His word is true. Walk closely with God humbly everyday for Him, in this wicked world, and depart from iniquity, repent daily, as we contiually fall short of what we should be, but rest in Jesus for your completed finished salvation.
"Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." Romans 4: 7,8 Your sins are forgiven, go in the peace of God.
This is the "Gospel of Jesus". Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel of His Son. we are accepted in the Beloved, forgiven, our sins are covered, buried in the depths of the sea, gone forever, and we are justified (declared righteous by the imputed righteousness of Jesus),
"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe for there is not difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
"To declare, I say, at this time, his righteousness, that he might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." Romans 3 22 and 26
Again I say, Gods decision cannot be reversed!! His word is forever.
