"He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice."
Deuteronomy 32:4
Do you ever find yourself emphasing the loving and forgiving nature of God, especially when seeking to reach a friend who is "turned off" to Christianity? Scriptures like 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord...is not willing that any should perish," and I John 4:8, "God is Love" shed light on the gracious and accepting nature of God.
However, if, in talking to your friend you only emphasize God's lovingside, you run the risk of mispresenting the power of His redemption of mankind. You see, God's love if cvmpcounter/balanced with His wrath. God's wrath is not a popular concept these fays, but it is real, and every person must reckon with it.
The Scripture teach that God will judge the lost. A Holy God can do nothing else than to turn away unholy things Thankfully, He had created a solution, through the shed blood of His Son. When God draws all history to a close, His judgment will stand alongside His mercy and love. Remember to keep both in balance as you share the Gospel with those around you.
