PENDULUM SWING – Though at one stage in Church history, the Church over-emphasized the wrath and judgment of God (many were rightly categorized as “hellfire and damnation preachers”); yet now the pendulum has fully swung the other way and all that many people have ever heard about is a very shallow and unbiblical idea of the love of God. People no longer live in the fear of God, and yet the Bible tells us “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” In His love, God sent His Son to save sinners from His fierce and just wrath against sin. How urgent it is that all flee to Christ for He is the only authorized refuge, the only Savior and holy sin-bearer for all who trust in Him.
