I personally miss the Old Testament God, full of wrath and fury.

The New Testament is weak and forgiving.

The NT has plenty of wrath and fury, but hey don’t get the same press the OT stories get, lol. The problem is that we’re removed from them and have a hard time imagining how revolutionary they’d be if they happened today.

tell me you've never read The Revelation without telling me you've never read The Revelation

also, in the Old Testament (as well as the New) He is simply HOLY

He did not change--we did

Wrath is what holiness feels like to sinners still in Adam

Favor is what holiness feels like to those counted righteous in Christ by faith alone

no really--look it up 🤙

Weak how?

What about your life makes you trivialize the forgiveness of a holy God?

It took more strength to hold himself to the cross for my sin than I will ever know.
