God Wants To Show Us Love, Not Wrath

"God's going to get you, You just wait, you keep on sinning and the wrath of God will be in your house" We have all heard people say something to quite this effect and when they do, what kind of image do you believe that portrays of God. If you were to ask a majority of Christians today, they would say that God is love and God is forgiving, but He will not put up with sin, and you need to live as holy as you can before Him because you don't want to anger God in any way. Some of this may sound familiar, but let me go ahead and tell you up front, that yes, God is love, and NO God is not mad at you and He is not looking at your sins. If God is mad at all, it would be that He is madly in love WITH you. Most Christians today have not separated nor understood the way God operates today in the New Covenant and as a result, most Christians today believe that God is the one who is striking them with sickness, God is the one causing the accidents to happen, God is the one causing death and destruction, when in fact it is the devil that came to "kill, steal, and destroy" (John 10:10)
Under the Old Covenant, there was a wrath and a punishment from God towards man that was extremely severe. The problem we are having in today's churches is most churches have not made the distinction between the way God operated under the Old Covenant versus the way God operates today under the New Covenant. Most of Christianity runs both agreements together and they think that God is dealing with us the same way He dealt with the people under the Old Covenant. Our failure in understanding this has caused a failure in our faith life and also has hindered our walk with God. Today, as a believer in Jesus Christ, we have a better covenant established upon better promises (Hebrews 8:6) and God is not looking to punish us. Jesus bore our sins and the punishment for all those sins. God isn't looking to punish us, but to pour out His love and blessings and favor upon us, to lavish us with His love and His presence. This is the way that God wants us to see Him because that is how He really is today, right now. God isn't a God wanting to show you wrath, He wants to shower you with His love.

⁸ But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. ⁹ Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ’s blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. ¹⁰ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life. Romans 5:8-10 (Amplified Bible)

God showed His LOVE for us while we were sinners, not His wrath. God was not and is not looking at us today with eyes of wrath and punishment because of our sins. I know that is shocking to hear that, and if you have been programmed by religion, then it will be very difficult to accept what I have just said is truth, but I ask that the Holy Spirit open your eyes to this, the real truth. We have been made right with God, justified from all our sins, acquitted from every trespass against God, and we have been brought into a right relationship with God by the blood of Christ, not by you striving and working hard to earn it. It IS a FREE GIFT. And go ahead and read verse 9 in Romans 5, it also states we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. Please read that last statement over and over again until it clicks in your spirit. God is NOT looking to pour out His wrath upon you. God is not looking at you, waiting for you to sin so He can destroy your life and make you pay for your sins. The blood of Jesus FOREVER secured us a place in God's presence and a place in His loving kindness and goodness, His grace. God is not going to make you pay for your sins. Why? Because Jesus has already paid the penalty for ALL of our sins. For God to make us pay for our sins would be double jeopardy, and it would also make God an unjust God, but clearly God is a just God, a righteous God, and also a loving God that came to set us free to be free in His love.
